    Sweet Sixteen Iowa State vs. Virginia predictions.

    Virginia is going to be in no hurry early in the game. I think that sets up great for Iowa State and takes a ton of pressure off them early on. It's not like when they play Kansas or Oklahoma where a cold start for 4 or 5 minutes could put you behind 15 early. At the pace Virginia plays a 4...

    Sweet Sixteen Iowa State vs. Virginia predictions.

    The key to the game is tempo... if ISU wants to speed Virginia up all they have to do is knock down shots early. If ISU can get it going at a decent clip they should build a nice early lead. Get Virginia down by double digits in the first 10 minutes of the game and their game plan of turning...

    The Type of Team We Have Trouble With

    They would be similar to KU if they didn't like to play games with the score in the 50's. ISU struggles against teams that want to push the tempo just as much as the Clones do. ISU has hung tough against all of those teams this year (KU, OU, WVU, Baylor, etc...) for the majority of the game...

    Looking forward to the game

    Remember when Virginia Tech went on a 17-0 run in the 2nd half against ISU and that cut their deficit to just under 20 points? It was quite the game... a 99-77 blowout.

    Iowa board response when Purdue fan asked about cyclones

    We're talking about Iowa fans right? This should be expected. Iowa fans hate Iowa State more than they actually love the hawks. That is the biggest difference between the fan bases. Iowa fans spend 99% of their time and energy hating on Iowa State and 1% actually cheering for the hawks...

    B1G tourney: #5 Hoks vs #12 Illini

    This was a blessing in disguise for Iowa. They need the time off to get their **** together. Honestly... I hope they rep the state well in the Big Dance.

    The Magic Eight: One of these teams will win the national title

    I would have agreed with this until I saw them play on the road at K-State. The Wildcats are awful and they handled OU with ease. The same goes for Kansas after that turd they dropped down in Stillwater. Get Kansas outside of Allen Fieldhouse and they have shown that they can be had by far...

    Tired of our last second offense

    Iowa State has 8 losses so far this season. In 5 of those losses the team has scored an average of 87.2 points in those games. How do you average 87.2 points in those 5 games and go 0-5? If they play even mediocre defense they would be 5-0 in those games. The reality is that the game last...

    Tired of our last second offense

    It was on full display from the opening tip. This team allows more uncontested shots then you see in the NBA All-Star weekend 3-point contest. I get it... this team is challenged when it comes to defending teams with skilled bigs down low because the Clones lack size and for whatever reason...

    McKay not traveling to OSU

    It's really sad to see this season unraveling. Prohm took the job at ISU because it's a great program with tons of potential and it's a great job. Well... I hope he isn't regretting that decision now watching one of the senior leaders of the team turn this whole thing into a train wreck...

    Oklahoma Roll Call

    Gingers... lots and lots of gingers.

    UNI vs Hawaii (right now espnU) if you are still awake

    Agreed. UNI doesn't have great post play and they rely far too much on shooting 3's. When they have an off night shooting they get murdered because they have no inside game. They better win the Valley tournament otherwise they may not be dancing come March.

    A surprising amount of butt hurt frrom iowa fans

    I've never seen a guy who was stuck on automatic actually run away from the ball during crunch time. Every time he touched the ball down the stretch the first thing he did was look to get rid of it... it's like the ball was on fire or something. The only reason he shot the ball with under 5...

    A surprising amount of butt hurt frrom iowa fans

    I disagree. They had one serious issue getting off the floor... but that is what happens when a team mops the floor with you to end the game on a 9-0 run. Win. The. Day.
