Should we be worried

[NetflixAndClone]

I will say though, until the Zona game in KC. Iowa State was undefeated in games where they got a 10-point lead. So, if we can get a kill shot and go up double digits you should normally feel fine. I feel like some of those 10 runs we gave up were in some of the games where we got a massive lead and stumbled through the 2nd half.

We need to manifest the success for this team, I got into manifestation about two months ago. I know it sounds weird, honkey, spacey but it’s all about changing thinking, believing, and what you deserve. Ok. I’m done. But I’m going to manifest as much as one person can.

that is a good thing to do, don't think negative be positive and it will work out better.

Being negative doesn't make the eventual end any easier. So you might as well enjoy the ride. I think it is fun that people are picking us to go to the Final 4!

you are right about the end but always going in with negative thought will lead to that. and I for one will get very upset early in a game if things don't go well. Trying to stay positive for the run in the NCAA.

Tennessee State...not worried about.
Would rather have Kentucky and their obnoxious fanbase heading back home to Kentucky so we can put even more Cyclone butts in those seats for the round of 32 game. Either way, if we shoot well, we'll win.

Last night was the first time I watched Miami play all season. If they are shooting at that rate with that volume I want no part of them. All 10 of their players who play more than 10 minutes a game are shooting over .340 from 3 with 6 guys shooting over .390. They have shot .392 as a team on the season on a volume of over 10 makes a game.

The ability to have two guys on the backside who can hit threes is the kryptonite of Otz's defense.

I doubt that the team will be allowed to miss that Tenn St/Iowa St is the most picked 15/2 upset on the ESPNs brackets.

Was that before, during, or after TSU’s best player declaring for the draft? Then again, trolls gonna troll.

I really don't get what goes through someone's head to troll like that. Cyclone Larry, I get, it is his outrageous opinions and he is actually often funny. But to just constantly post blatantly false information just to get rises out of people. How sorry does you life have to be to find that your source of entertainment and personal pride.

Yes, things are so metrics and data-driven that people stop looking with their own eyeballs. That team knows how to win while Tennessee knows how to lose. I think that Friday matchup could be interesting.

Should we be worried? Are we Cyclone fans? It's in our DNA.......I refuse to be overly confident after a lifetime of being crushed so I predict failure and then am exultant when we pull the rabbit out of the hat.

The thing I am most worried about is Tamin's health. I just hope he is okay and good to go. Man oh man did I cringe when he went out.

I don't worry about anything sports related anymore. I've been at this too long. I can't alter the outcome of a game, so there really is no reason to worry about something I have no control over. Just enjoy the Pub ISU is getting and what happens happens.

My attitude is probaly helped by how amazed I am at the recent success of ISU basketball. In my days at ISU, early '90s, it was just a big deal to make the tournament. Now it's so common place, people are worried if ISU will make the Final Four or not.

I will start this off by remembering my worst ISU tournament experience. Spring 2015 we are in Destin for the kid's spring break - my wife and I, our 3 teenage daughters, and our oldest daughter's boyfriend. All Cyclone fans. On the first day of our vacation, (Thursday) we have scouted out a sports bar near our hotel and have set up shop to have some lunch and watch the Cyclones in the first set of games for the tournament! A Cyclone win and we hit the beach after - couldn't be better! Then, UAB happened. Kids are fighting with each other, kids fighting with parents. Needless to say, not an ideal start to the vacation.

That being said, I am going into this post-season as Mr Positive. I think it is our destiny to meet Arizona for a third time in the national semifinals and prove the old adage that it is very hard to beat a team 3 times in a season. This team feels different. I believe this is if not the best, then the most well-constructed team in ISU history. There are no frosted tips on this team. Let's do this!
