Yep, this is lame considering the majority of the points were at UNI.

I’m sorry, how many points did you score in your college basketball career?

Zero, but that's not the point.

I think it is cool that Heise has 1,000 Career points. That is worth celebrating.

What is lame is ISU putting it out there with a picture of him in an ISU uniform (only) in which he scored less than a 100 of the points.

A picture of him in both a UNI and ISU Uniform would be more appropriate - since it was a Career accomplishment and not a Cyclone accomplishment.

That's all.

I feel similarly about career-total records falling these days to players who played five years.

Can we get on the Memphis graphic for Tyrese Hunter’s next career milestone?

Kinda like when the Big Ten Network shows one of their "classic" games between Oregon and Washington?

Well, there was a time when freshmen weren't eligible and the number of games in a season was less.

The Kansas and KSU threads I think reached over 2,000 posts.

This one has not hit 700.
So what is it

A) Trolls like Oscar,have gone back under the bridge and will remain there until the next ISU loss. Notice he did not post in this thread. Look up hyperbole in the dictionary and Oscars picture is there

B) Fans can be neurotic and will assume a recent small sample size is a greater indication of future performance than a much larger ones. Hope these people don't invest in the stock market they would sell at every drop

C) Reasonable posters, don't have to go back to those hyperbolic neurotics. Explaining to them why they need to stop with the chicken little syndrome. So thread size blows up

D) All of the above.


Now given the size of this thread, I think the majority of the criticism was tweak this or that.
Actually constructive.

It was a tame thread overall, and nobody went too far off the rails. Good fair points were made for the most part

Some people live to complain, not much to complain about when you stomp them from the start.

 

[Die4Cy]

The size of the thread is indicative of the game being on ESPN+.

Can we talk about how ESPN+ is marketed as a service for the sports sicko but you can't start a game from the start if you've been trying to avoid the score, it has the worst rewind function of any streaming service I've ever subscribed to, and the algorithm parameters you fill out when you first join the service can't be bothered to put the stuff you've said you want to watch at the front of your feed?

People pay as much for ESPN+ as original subscribers to Amazon Prime did when it launched. And what do you get for it? These guys can't even figure out how to ensure a ranked matchup gets on over the air television. ESPN/Disney is absolutely terrible at curating sports content which is not what you want to see from a paid sports streaming entity. It's very poorly managed and we may come to a point where the Big 12 wishes they didn't hitch their wagon to a sinking ship if you don't mind a mixed metaphor.

11:00 Saturday AM game with a competing gameday thread, a competing Milan thread, and a game against a non rival.

 

[Cyforce]

Any idea why I can’t find the game on demand on my ESPN+ app? I just watched yesterday’s Drake game and I see Tech-AZ.

 

[CY9395]

So I guess this happened during today's game too.

Don’t like him as a player and my kid at ISU doesn’t have anything good to say about him as a person.

I get what you're saying. But, he is a Cyclone. And he did score 1,000 pts in Div 1. So I see no problem with it.

You have all of 43 total messages and this is the first thing you've posted since October? Weird...

That's a feature, not a bug.

You don't drive subscriptions with Colorado and Arizona State. You do it with Iowa State, Houston, and Tech.
