Who did we piss off to get an 11 AM tip?

 

[SerenityNow]

Is it too much to ask for a nice, comfortable win and a drama-free game day thread?

The first is likely to happen way before the 2nd ever would.

Go Cyclones!

Need to guard well on the perimeter in this one, and keep the ball moving. I think we win a hairy one by about 75-65

Don’t let snowmageddon ruin farmageddon.

Basketball should not be played at 11 in the morning.

So, Dean Wade is returning today, right? Since they're playing us, I'm almost sure he will.

Agreed, thankfully there is only one more 11AM game on the schedule. It is better to be the home team especially playing early with KSU coming off a grinder vs WV on Wednesday.

There is a lot of valid reasons ISU is a 10 pt favorite which boil down to being the better team, especially sans Stokes and Wade. Though as always when playing Bruce's Purple Kitties, I don't see ISU winning by double digits. They will show up and play tough, but I don't see how they will be able to score enough to win in Ames.

Coming off a the BU loss, I am curious if Lindell gets a starting spot now. He should be pretty close to 100% conditioned and having him as a starter could make him more comfortable in the role. Getting his ability to slash to the basket would be beneficial vs KSU man-to-man D.

Go State!!! Beat Bruce's Purple Kitties!

Throw down, Clones!

 

[rochclone]

Stokes will play. Wade ?

Time to take down the Purple kitties...

Extinguish the pilot light on the Weber grills!

God I love watching Cyclone basketball, what a treat on a cold Saturday morning.

With that said, I believe my enthusiasm will channel directly into the players and they’ll kick KSU’s a$$ today.

Absolutely agree. This is awful.

At least we don't follow West Virginia.

You have to think Wade would be rusty whether he is back or not. Hilton is not a place you want to knock the rust off. The line is around 9.5/10 and I think that is about right. Clones should win this one comfortably by the end.
