Fine, I'll take this approach, but only until the game starts.
After that, I'm gonna let everyone know repeatedly what I think about Pav for the remainder of the game.
Think of it as me enlightening all of you peasants with my wisdom.
Road dogs and...
Road Dawgs! One thing is for certain. ISU will give 110% effort tonight. I love this team!
He might have been a Hawkeye for about 10 years or so, but I've heard from a few people, all Cyclone fans, that he's a great dude to be around. Plus I personally believe he's a pretty damn good analyst to listen to.
Cincy have not defended home court very well but have competed against good clubs even in losses. They don't do anything particularly well other then rebounding and defending 2p shots. Their front court is big which probably goes hand in hand with their rebounding and 2pt defense.
So they have length in the front court I feel they'll rely on them to clog lanes and to put a wall around the basket. Insert 1000yd stare after the VCU game.
This game will be a good test on how the team has progressed. Cincy will take away driving lanes and turn us into jump shooting team. We'll see if the offense can adapt.
Cincy is a solid club, Iowa State should win if they play well. If we are just average it'll be a loss. What can't be accounted for is the Bearcats will be foaming at the mouth for a good win. The wins we have usually occur because we get a big lead. This team still needs to learn how to win when down and I think this will be scenario they'll face in the game.

Stupid question, but is there an easy way to do this? A buddy was telling me there's an App you use?
I would consider this to be the best of the road wins if we pull this off. Most haven’t really seen Cincy but they are tough as hell and physical. They are a couple of possessions away from a completely different record. That arena is a bit of a hornets nest too if they get going.
Winning at TCU without Tamin arguably is better, but this one would be better just in my opinion.

It's one you feel great about if you can pull it off, and don't have to hang your head too much if you lose. No pressure, just go in and play your tails off. As always with us, it's going to come down to hitting some jump shots.
@CycloneRulzzz I want to again thank you for all you've done over the years for these game threads. It is an awesome demonstration of how dedicated, loyal, and passionate ISU fans are.
I also want to say what you went through this week can shake a person to their core. Yet despite that, you've been on CF and thinking about the Cyclones. That goes above and beyond.
Love you brother.

Prior to the start of the season I would of had this as the 8th hardest conference road game. Now it's higher.
Not a stupid question. As Pride responded, we use Varsity app.
Brady app is even better than Varsity from my experience. Every once in a blue moon the Varsity app stops working for me (with no logical tech reasons for it...I understand how to use my phone and apps, it isn't my internet, etc).

What's great about TJ and his team is that the NEXT game is always the most important game on their schedule. Whether they beat Cincy or not, they will flip the page the next day and focus all their attention on TT.
Unlike CycloneFanatic, where game threads survive for weeks!

Going to be a rock fight and a hell of a game. Got a bad feeling about it but I am wrong a lot!
I can't lie the last 48 have been brutal. I've hardly slept, hardly ate. Not sure if I'll be the same person I was before this. The only thing keeping me sane is family and friends which is alot of people here on CF.
The more I think about this one, this could end up being a free throws game. Cincy wont back down from our physicality but will try to match it. this could be a real ugly 40-foul type of game
