Nah I'm done with that. Beat the breaks off of them. Fran isn't getting fired this year and the end is near for him anyway. Plus, they're just as close to hiring a worse coach as Fran than they are to hiring a better one.

Key to the game is Turnovers.
ISU needs to turn hoks over 12+ times and score 20 points off those.
Can win without doing that but that would insure winning. Biggest effect of the turnovers is those are 12 more 3's they can't hoist.

As the programs separate it's really becoming a lot like how even some of our NCAA tourney teams struggled to win @UNI.
Yeah we're a lot better than those teams you just mentioned. If we play well we should win handily but if we go in there and act like we don't really want to be there, we will lose.
That's the way to beat them if they are raining 3s. If they aren't hitting 3s there's all sorts of ways. We know they'll be launching. Some game a few weeks ago the Sandfort brothers launched 30 just between the two of them.
I’m just emotionally hedging any way I can man. I hate this game so much.
My requests for this game:
1) Win
2) Fran T 2a) Fran ejection
3) One of our new transfers goes off. Hoks hate seeing other teams have portal success.

Respectfully, couldn't disagree more.
I think he's a suckeye through and through, and every bit of "non-negativity" or perceived positivity towards Iowa State is complete BS. He hates Iowa State with passion and does nothing but talk sh*t and degrade Iowa State in his personal circles. The type that shouts "go h*wks* on vacation in Mexico, that calls us 'little brother' because it makes him feel cool, the type that has this undeserved/unearned sports-arrogance about them, the giant doucher that screams "Rose Bowl! Rose Bowl!" as a news anchor on f*cking SportsCenter after doing the highlights of the Iowa-Iowa State basketball game in December of 2014. Goodness, to this day, I cannot think of a douchier thing a suckeye media person has ever done, maybe other than Ross Peterson's batsh*t whiny rant on KXNO (I think that same season) about Cyclone fans not thinking Iowa deserved to be ranked #3 in the country (which was great because Cyclone fans were correct; Fran crashed down the stretch like he always does and their "Top 5 basketball team" was obsolete in March).
You’re killing me with all these gifs.ISU will be fine as long as Mad Fran doesn't use the Crane technique
This is Iowa's most important game of the year. I'm not even trolling here, it objectively is.
I really wouldn't be too worried if I was you guys. Thelwell is the only player on Iowa who can break down a defense (to an extent) but Fran loves himself some Brock Harding. When Brock has flashed it's been against lower quality opponents. ISU will fluster the hell out of him but Fran will stick with him. Iowa has basically no one that can create their own shot. Payton loves to force shots even when he's not hitting. It actually drives me crazy. Payton has been bad this year and given how good ISU is on defense I think Payton will struggle mightily (but he will still keep shooting; I'm thinking 4-20 seems about right). Owen is good but if he gets into early foul trouble Fran will sit him forever and Owen's backups are Brauns and Mulvey LOL. Traore is intriguing but he's struggled with injuries. I'm anticipating a final score somewhere in the neighborhood of ISU 84 Iowa 65. I don't think the game will be in question by the time the first half is over.
