Thought they only played one half and used the rest of the time to work on situations.
Secret scrimmages suck...at least from the aspect that info gets out that can be taken out of context. Who the heck knows what a new coach is trying to do with a new team...maybe he simply is going through all the combinations to work out the first starting 5 and doesn't care if the opposing team drops 100+. Or more likely, the team has zero chemistry and it is going to take several games to get a identity?

Let's see where the team goes during the pre-conference games and hopefully develops. Any talk now is pure conjecture.
Seriously, if you are getting down on this team, of all teams, for rumors of things that happened in secret scrimmages, you need some help.
Yeah, no idea what happened, don't really care because it is totally meaningless. Of course hearing about any tidbits would be nice but that's on premium board and that's fine.

It's going to be an exciting season, if nothing more than most of the players and coaching staff is new. Hopefully they will improve as season goes, and maybe surprise us a time or two.

I am excited for this season because I am ready for a change. I enjoy Cyclone basketball far too much to be as apathetic as I was last season.

Hopefully we can actually let this team play some games before fans throw in the towel. I hope fans realize that TJ really wants success for Iowa State, not just for himself.

Iowa State fans won't. The sky will be falling before conference starts.

I hear ya, I am just not sure how this team will score to keep up with most of the teams on the schedule. Factor in 1-2 inevitable injuries and a strong Big XII. I'm just keeping my expectations super low.

I'd have to actually know what he said before answering. But it its that Northwestern is a decent, established program then yes, yes I am!

Yeah, one of my favorite types of season is one where there are no expectations and the team outperforms. Sounds like these guys will get after it, and there's talent there. All a matter of team chemistry and gelling.

And this season will hopefully be fun. Either way it will be the antithesis of the FB teams' expectations, that's for sure.

They're claiming to have "sources." Do these "sources" make them sign NDA's or what lol?

You don't take paid content and share it for free. Like I said, they shouldn't have said anything to that poster about his comment potentially being wrong.

I'm aware of that, but they said "their sources" we're all aware of the premium board. When you come on here and say you have "other sources" why not share? If their sources are just the premium board, they should say that and I wouldn't ask what they've heard. But the point of forums are to discuss topics like this surrounding Iowa State.
