Up to #17 in AP

If we beat Iowa we will likely be 12-0 going into the B12 slate and will be on the verge of being ranked top 10

Hate to say it but I don't have a great feeling knowing that Iowa is the team that stands in front of this non-conference resume.
 
So, if our expectations were lower at the beginning of the year, but now we are achieving all our goals and more, would it be an upset if we beat Iowa on Thursday? I never thought we would be here so quickly.
 
I read on Iowa boards Murray is playing tonight.

Another cool thing is that ISU is only winning because all of our opponents have tons of turnovers but it’s not due to ISU’s D. On the same board Iowa’s nation leading interceptions somehow are Iowa football’s defense and not just gifts.
 
Was hoping Iowa would be joining us in top 25. Would be great to get another W against a ranked opponent.

It’s be nice, but that #9 net rating victory would help us more in a few months.

as long as Murray’s ankle is fine they willbe a ranked team most of this year, as much as that drives some mad on here

If their team was more kids like Murray (from what I can tell) them being good wouldn't be so gross.
 
yeah somehow #1 Purdue would be fawned over for an equal or worse home performance. Honestly that was a great road game for Iowa and a clunker for Purdue given Murray has been 1/3 of their offense. I watched a game where Murray scored their first 17 points all himself.

Honestly, Murray being out kind of gets washed out by Lil Mac, Fat Garza, the other Murray, and Perkins playing out of their minds. All three of those guys stepped up which probably doesn't happen if Murray is in the lineup.

Who's more annoying: The ESPN CFB guys or ESPN CBB guys?

Def football. The basketball guys actually respect the Big 12 and the schedule format where in football it's always a backhanded compliment.
 
Kinda surprised they're not actually. Good team that will be really hard for ISU to beat.

Gotta get past their psychological cheap shot BS and get into 'em.

I cringe at this game every year.

This years squad isn't going to get pushed around by Iowa's fake tuff guy act. I just hope the officials let them play and we don't let Iowa live at the free throw line.

I used to really enjoy Jay Bilas, I had to unfollow him last year, constantly complaining.
Agree. While he is not a complete idiot like some, which was initially appealing, that actually makes his shtick worse

He's a hypocrite. He is a Duke guy (Coach K is one of the worst if you're talking about big money recruiting and coaches making millions off athletes) that makes his money off of CBB being big business. He needs to get off his fake soap box and just comment on the game.
