Nelson too. Need him back on track.
You should enjoy it. May not be as full as others since it’s not a big name and students are hitting finals or coming off finals. Always great to be there anyhow, but make sure you don’t cuss
Batemon, Nelson, and Mitchell need to play 30+ today but they won't. I assume Pleta is still out so wouldn't mind seeing Mulder and Buchanan split 50/50.
There are only 2 games I am anxious about. The one that follows playing the #1 team on the road and your in state rival and the one right before Xmas break.
Agree. Would love to see our bench get big minutes tonight. Mulder, Mitchell, and Nelson need more time on the floor - even if it's against this level of competition.
Batemon had that career high then proceeded to get 4 minutes against Purdue and 6 against Iowa. He did not attempt a FG in either game. I understand this approach in games like that, but would be good for him to see some shots go through tonight.
Just get through these next 3 without injury and be ready for Big 12 slate after New Years. Hopefully the boys can get some good recovery between now and then.
The Iowa games is up on Tom Orness's YT page.
ISU was out of synch but I think still played hard, just had a much needed weird game where the ball's bouncing weird and they were a little tight.
Hopefully a bit of a 'get right' kind of game today.
I usually don't care who plays how much but hopefully guys like Batemon and Nelson do get a lot more time these next three games; only 6 guys have had significant minutes the last two games and that won't go far.

I imagine we probably play a little sluggish after the last week and a half. But should still win comfortably.
88-50 Cyclones
88-50 Cyclones
Played once since then, in 2023 (won it 80-48).
Agree on the 2018-19 "talent/potential."
Coming to say this. Searched threads for this opp so I didn't have to find their logo again.
At least a little bubble-wrap.
Two additional bubble-wrap games coming prior to B12 season.
