Well, hi, Legion. I was wondering if any of you guys would find your way over. You guys think you got this one?
Anyone else remember last year's game in Morgantown? I think we were up by around 30 at halftime (or at least we got it to 30 at one point) and he had about a thousand 3 pointers to that point than all the sudden WVU storms back and makes it a game in the final 5 minutes. Completely wild.
The game in Ames was very similar as well and we won at the buzzer after leading by 20ish the entire time too.
Just found the box score, ISU largest lead was 27. WVU got it down to 4 with 40 seconds left and we won by 9 at the FT line.

Holy Wally Burnham
I don't know how good you all are compared to last year but we are much better than last year. That team was totally dysfunctional.
Why would you knock a 10 when you're married to a 4?Nice that they take shots at everyone, but don't touch Fred.
Oh, and a note on the newspaper clipping you guys posted. The student group Mountaineer Maniacs choose a different player every game to be the 'bum,' and they just boo every time he touches the ball. The hope is that they can get under the skin of a key player. I knew they'd pick Kane, but I have to admit I was hoping they wouldn't.
Legion, what does Staten's three point shot look like? I know his percentage is up this year, but he hasn't hit more than one in any game and he has only taken a handful of them, only attempting two in a game twice. Has anyone dropped off of him this year and dared him to make outside shots?
Possibly overshadowed by his 20-for-24 shooting was his career-high 18 rebounds. On the team's three-game winning streak, he's averaging 30.7 points and 15.7 rebounds and is atop the Big 12 in scoring at 19.8 points per game. Ejim said there was no departure from the Cyclones' normal plan in the special game.

Staten is not our 3 pt guy. He's got a good short range jumper and can drive past anyone. He is freakishly quick. Eron Harris is one of our 3 pt guys. He's not afraid to throw it up from a long way out.
This got me all kinds of giddy -

If you think that's impressive, over the past one games, he's averaging 48 points and 18 rebounds.
In fact, there was a stretch there where I'm pretty sure he was averaging 12 points per minute! Wow!
