Way up there
Defensively, Iowa is still pretty suspect but Fran understands that and plays a style that tries to get you to take quick shots. With a little patience and a focus on attacking the hoop off the dribble, it's usually only 1 or 2 passes and you get a wide open shot. The thing is, they've played the same way for years and Prohm has never once made that adjustment. Him figuring that out after 5 years would make us more competitive but I wouldn't bank on it, our only chance is probably to catch fire from 3. Even then though, I'm not sure we can make enough stops to win. I think we'd have to score in the 90's to have any kind of shot.

It's been 3 years since we were competitive with them, it'd be nice to at least be in the game for a half.

Does anyone have Michael's Secret Stuff from Space Jam? Or better yet the magic basketball harnessing the skills of the greats from the 90's (minus Sean Bradley)?

So I have a co-worker triggered already this morning. When he (hawk fan) brought up the game, I called it an exhibition game in a season that doesn't matter because of Covid. Basically the same thing he said when we beat Oklahoma earlier in the year. He is apparently taking this season very seriously. It's "completely different than football"

From reading the early posts I think most aren't expecting a great end score from this game. I still am looking forward to seeing them play tonight if for no other reason then to see the new players and how they respond to playing a top 10 team.

I know it is wishfull thinking but I hope not to many people take tonights result and declare the team is good or bad. The team is still gelling and will improve just need time to play together and adjust to the Big 12. Not haveing a normal offseason to practice and having their only P6 game canceled game is a bad set up for this test no matter the year.

We can argue if the program should have "rebuild" years but it doesn't matter because this team is built for the future today. It is there we are and I will root for them to watch the new players realize their potential (hopefully sooner than later).
Go State and shock the college world with a W @EIU.

Huge opportunity for our guys. No one expecting us to win or even be close. Chance to be a Iowa vs Iowa State legend.

Is there any chance Tre Jackson can play tonight? Original timeline was 2-3 weeks, and it has been 2 weeks since that was announced.

It was reported yesterday that he would not be available.
I mean Iowa did the same thing to us last year, I can't remember who it was, but he was going to be out for the year and ended up playing. I know Jorbo shut it down after our game, but it wasn't him.

If this ISU team doesn't come out and fight like hell, I would be very disappointed. Iowa literally came on your home court last year, smacked you around, and then disrespected you.

There are like 2 guys who are going to play who were here for that.

We will probably keep it close for a half.

90-75 Iowa

I honestly think we get blitzed straight out of the gate, we're down 10 by the under 12 timeout, 20 by halftime, and then we end up losing by like 15 when they have their scrubs in for the last 5 minutes.

I've already declared that. I don't need to see tonight. They'll have every opportunity to prove me wrong this season.

Sadly might be the first time this has been used since ISU football 2014-15ish.

You obviously never lived the football games in the mid '80s then. The best thing about those games was the student tailgating in lots A1, A2, B3 and B4 lots. The Keg Truck, beer bongs, cattle tanks with kegs etc..... You had to ease the pain somehow. :oops: :oops:

At least I can watch "Gold Rush" for a couple hours......
