i do think ISU will win but they will need to be sharper than they were today

Quite frankly it is paramount for them to get off to a 3-0 start before Iowa to stabilize the fanbase and infuse some excitement into this season.

This is an entirely different team. Last season has no base for 2020 when the same players are not in Ames.

I wish I had your blind optimism. I used to. I was that guy supporting Morgan and saying McDermott just needed another couple breaks. Then we saw that wasn’t the problem at all. You just needed a really good coach.

it might be NSFW what Garza does to our big men in 2 weeks.

Oh my god. I’m going to have to stay off the boards after that one. There is an infusion of talent this year but we have some real systemic issues in the area of rebounding and playing good cohesive defense. Not like either of those are one-offs.

Hoks will be favored by 30-40 points. We can’t handle Garza, or any team that displays any effort on the boards.

It will be 11-12 point spread. I fully expect for Iowa to cover that but that would be the spread if the game occurred tomorrow.

Lol, this thread and every gameday thread, including this year's football gameday threads, are all the proof you need that our fans are huge tools.

Iowa State University of Dorks and Virgins.

People who didn't even watch the game are down on CSP and the team? That is all you need to know about our "fanbase."

Loyal sons something something...

NC Central and Southern would beat UAPB by double digits on a neutral. Are you honestly thinking we are going to contain Garza?
No but I don't think the rest of Iowa's roster is all that good, and their defense is very very bad.

Except we saw those flashes as a freshman. The staff has really stuck him in that bruiser non factor on offense role. Nothing against him, but he doesn't really have the personality to fight out of that role. You still see flashes, but I think he could have been a pretty dominant big man. When he plays free and energetic on the offensive side of the ball he can be great. He in the past has shown an ability to add an outside shot. He can do stuff offensively. That said the staff doesn't encourage it and seems to discourage it even.

Our offense historically has been best when we can have 1-5 on the perimeter. Young can do that some. He is never going to be a great threat, but he could have developed into a decent enough threat to keep people honest. Now we just have 5's that take up space or allow help away from them.
Completely agree. Solo doesn’t really fit what Prohm wants to do. CSP hasn’t really put an emphasis on developing that position either. Conditt is in a critical year of his career. Jury is out, but I think he’ll end up getting replaced by Foster next season.

Okay big guy. I think Iowa is a pretty solid Top 10 squad. Weiskamp is very good. Bohannon can shoot. I think they are very similar to some our our better squads under Fred. As far as their defense. They are better than us that’s all I can tell you.

Solo played 19 minutes without grabbing a single rebound. The dude always blocks his man out but is just plain sluggish on the defensive glass.
