I'm sure Matt Thomas will be CF whipping boy, but saving that bad break pass and getting it to Nader was critical

Would've liked to see Cooke get more minutes. Had a sweet assist, but didn't really get an opportunity out there.

Why are people posting on here and whining about a win? Buffs are bad? Lol... Okay. We played better defense this game than I ever saw out of a hoiberg team. Rims were tight tonight so the long shots were gonna be missed unless you swish it.

Every team that gives us a game isn't playing their ***** off. There are going to be a lot of games this. This was a rather poopy performance. That CU team is not good. This performance was UAB level. Which is disappointing since this team had supposedly learned their lesson.

It looks like to me that this team is on their own plan and Prohm is coach in name only at this moment.

Post of the season and not just because you used the word 'poopy'.

I thought they won and that's what I was hoping for.

Jumping the gun a bit. 1st game, and cu is actually a decent team especially for your first game of the year

As of now we're the highest scoring team in the country.

Cyclones will have to play A LOT better than how they played tonight to remain a top 10 or even 20 team. I don't know if it was the high school size of the venue or not, but the whole game seemed quite a bit below the usual quality of an ISU game.

I also hope the Cyclones never have to play at that hole again. What a dump.


I'm going out on a limb here, but I would say ISU played below quality because it was their very first game of the season... If you expected them to come out in their first game and look like it was the end of February, then you will be disappointed. Not to mention, the opponent was against a P5 school, rather than some poly tech community college.

Somewhere in the U.S.
Ugly, but it is a win. Main concerns for offense are only 10 3 point shots, and only made two, and only 12 assists on 29 baskets. Those are not exactly ISU numbers, but that can only get better. May have just been Colorado size, first game jitters, slightly new offense, the gym.....who knows?

Defensive improvement may help a lot more this year than we realize right now.

Have to improve quickly. Illinois/UAB/Cincinnati not that far away.

Congrats on first ISU win though CSP!
