Reminder that not all things go smoothly on the road even for the best teams.

He is in Lubbock, per team photos.
Other than that - I know nothing


Confirmed. I would think it is a good sign as I doubt if they knew he was out they wouldn't have Caleb sitting on a plane for 2+ hours. Still guessing that they'll see how it is affecting him up to game time.

Also rumors from the TT message boards Aimaq and Pop Issaic aren't going to play. Not official but oth were out vs LSU so I say it is more likely than not TT will be short handed.

Lubbock is always a tough place to play but if ISU is going to get the regular season title these are the games you have to win.
Let's go State, get the W.

Didn't they fly there direct fro the Missouri game though? It doesn't mean much.

Have to win tonight. Out of the top teams in the conference, we have the easiest stretch over the next couple of weeks.

KState, Texas and Kansas have absolutely brutal stretches ahead.

Baylor could easily find themselves right back in the thick of things.

I suppose ISU contracts out for jet use. Cuz if ISU owned the jet, it'd read FlyCy with cardinal and gold trim...

Feels like a game that could seem slow/sluggish (maybe even being down a couple points at half) and then we chip away and win by about 5 and get out of dodge. So, we won't play lights out ..but won't need to.

Also, playing in a 1/4 to 1/2 filled arena
This team has been back-handed twice this season playing in sold out arenas on the road, I prefer our chances in a potentially dull road environment.

I hope everyone is available for Tech. I have nightmares from the Iowa game still, having learned Kris Murray was out just hours before tip, only to proceed to getting run out of Carver by guys names Conner and Filip.

This Iowa State team plays so much better with a chip. TTU coming out tonight with a full deck of cards will keep our guys mentally checked in.

imo we should try to win this one

Yes.

It's a little alarming how cavalier people have been about the close road losses and bombing badly against Mizzou. Do you want to win a conference championship for the first time in 20 years or don't ya? It's right. *******. There. Go get it, rather than telling me how x loss or y blowing doesn't really hurt.

Go get it.

Current Quad 1, but just by beating them they might drop below 70 which makes it Quad 2.

I would think it would be the opposite. The bump just from playing us is going to outweigh the loss. I think NET incorporates some margin of victory so that could play a factor.

Missouri game not sitting well with me. I'd have been ok with a closer loss and better effort, but what happened Saturday was just about as bad as what happened in Iowa City earlier in the season. Something about playing teams that wear black n yellow.

Our defense is alarmingly bad dating back to the OK State game.
