Only think I can find is that his return is still a mystery and there is still no timetable for it.

I'm just wondering what he has to gain from a few games at the end of the year where he may be rusty. I can't remember if he was an early entrant last year to the draft? I would have thought he would have went, and if he could have, that makes this year a pretty big waste of time for him.

Sorry I meant Konate, wont play tonight but will be back when we go there.
On the Tennessee WV broadcast (ESPN) they made it sound like he would be back in a couple of weeks.

I thought he was out the year. but they made it sound like he will play soon.

ESPN is apparently hedging its bets.

From the article: "Konate (knee) hasn't played since early December and there's no indication he'll return any time soon."

Of course, all Cyclone fans know how that usually works out for us!

I don't care if they are 1-6 in the league and are without Bolden and Konate. This game terrifies me. Just win. I don't care if it's by 1. Just win.

Anytime we play against a coach that isn't afraid to slow the game down and muddy things up, I think we have a right to be a little apprehensive. This game could be a nail biter or a complete blowout.

I'm learning towards a big win since I think we're just much better all over the floor, but I'm still going into the game expecting a fight.

Went by Hilton this morning and I have to say that I was a little disappointed. No campers! Of course, I don't want anyone to take a crazy risk, but a few students missed their claim to fame as the guys who camped out on the coldest day ever. They could have rented one of those fishing huts with a heater.

Seriously, I wonder if they will move the "student line" over to Scheman or into the Hilton outer concourse.

Here’s hoping it’s not one of those non focused, think all they have to do is show up games that previous Cyclone teams have been noted for.

I don't think it's a focus thing. Sometimes the ball doesn't go in or the other team is just ballin'.

ISU certainly won't shoot like they did this past weekend.

Must start fast and put it out of reach as early as possible. These next two wins are crucial to push us to 6-3 in the conf while protecting the home court.

One of my Top 10 Favorite Cyclone plays ever. As a wrestler, I've always felt this is the way basketball was meant to be played.
