    Basketball telecasts

    LOL, I hear you on the ads. Or whatever weird noise is made when there is a game break. The amount of repeats is hilarious when there are ads. I seem to need to start the game a bit late or watch the end late too frequently, so I am happy I get to avoid some of those or fast forward.

    Basketball telecasts

    My thought is this is where a company like Roku could really add some value. If they are able to find a way to seamlessly allow viewers to "change channels" between apps/specific programs on apps, or even watch multiple apps/shows at once, picture in picture or otherwise splitting the screen...

    Basketball telecasts

    I agree that the prime time games get more production budget, especially related to the broadcast team. But lets say ESPN decided to put the game on ESPNU or ESPN News and it was visible on cable. I wouldn't expect any difference to the quality we get on ESPN+. This is just the difference...

    Basketball telecasts

    If you don't have a Roku, I would recommend buying one. They are inexpensive and the User Interface is pretty smooth and easy. The ESPN app is also easy to use. If you are paying Mediacom, you are paying ESPN. By buying ESPN+, you are essentially paying a subscription to watch your team. ESPN...

    Do you want Campbell gone?

    I am not going to look it up, but I did hear him say it. Want to say it might have been after Oklahoma State. Or maybe a midweek media session. I thought it was good accountability and a good reason for optimism. He also has since been quoted that complimentary football is how to win at ISU. So...

    Summer Bahamas Trip

    Nice game by Curtis Jones. The team as a whole went 12-26 from 3, while C Jones went 8-12. Rest of the team was 4-14. Hopefully we can get going from 3 as a team next game!

    Shocker (Not): T.J. is revered by his peers.

    That is my understanding as well. TJ had a better than expected first year. I believe he may have gotten rid of some players that did not fit his program vision and then had some injuries the 2nd year. If I recall, Caleb Grill ended up playing a bunch of point that year. I think we can all agree...

    Who will be the leading scorer this year?

    The ISU team that I am going to compare this year's team to is the 2013-14 team led by Melvin Ejim, DeAndre Kane, and Georges Niang. Just for fun, follow me here: Melvin Ejim made a jump as senior. Played the small ball 5, perhaps like Tre King could. Georges Niang took the most shots on the...

    Who will be the leading scorer this year?

    TJ's quotes regarding Omaha have described him as pretty much the polar opposite of this. We have enough other options that I think that would negatively affect playing time if it were to occur as well.

    Who will be the leading scorer this year?

    We have had some discussions on this topic in this thread: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/way-too-early-starting-lineup-talk-for-the-23-24-season.278128/ I find it interesting we have so many possible top scorers this year. Lots of folks getting votes. It is not that common to have...

    Which player on our roster do you think a vast majority are sleeping on?

    My bold prediction is people are sleeping on Milan Momcilovic. People think he is going to be pretty good. I think he starts at some point and has a shot at freshman of the year. I think there is a chance folks are sleeping on Jackson Paveletzke. Kid has a super versatile offensive game. If we...

    Way too early starting lineup talk for the 23-24 season

    He took a total of 19 threes last year. He went 4 for 19. He makes 2 more, he is over 31%. 3 more, he is almost 37%. There are countless examples of players developing a significantly better shot over time. Playing in the Big 12 as a freshman is tough. I am certainly not projecting him to be a...

    Way too early starting lineup talk for the 23-24 season

    I think TJ will do a better job playing to Omaha’s strengths and giving him opportunity to be more aggressive offensively. Having Tamin as a strong facilitator will help too. And his minutes should be more consistent as well. The point being made that Omaha probably won’t take over games...
