    What would cause TJ to move?

    What would cause someone to start a thread asking what would cause TJ to move? Just relax and be thankful for what we have. I'm sure Pollard is well aware of the situation and doing everything possible to hold onto TJ. Why waste energy fretting over something for which you have no control?

    Court Storming

    Well a few thousand fans of all ages, who are not elite athletes like the Duke player, managed to survive the court storming uninjured.

    Court Storming

    No argument here. It's just that when your opponent has beaten you in a big upset, and their fans are obviously excited and want to celebrate, you don't slow walk, trip a fan, and claim injury. You bite down hard, do your best to avoid collisions while you jog off the court, and allow the...

    A normal human being can do both.

    Agree. Seth Davis is full of it. That "shove" was hardly even a tap.

    Court Storming

    It turns out that when you see someone running directly in front of you, the normal reaction is to immediately stop and avoid collision, not to extend your right leg directly in their path. The video doesn't lie. The Duke players made no attempt to exit the court quickly while the other team's...

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    That sums up how bad Iowa is. Beat em by double digits and your NET rating still drops.

    Court Storming

    The video appears to show the Duke player was looking at the fan approaching and he intentionally stuck his right leg out to trip the fan. We got us another Caitlin Clark??

    It's like the Ankeny Centennial vs DM Roosevelt substate game I watched last night, except Centennial won that game.

    I agree. Had OU lost, they'd be coming to Ames in a desperate state of mind. We're still gonna get their best shot, but they won't be wounded animal desperate.

    *** Official West Virginia vs #6 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    You say if Pav plays extensively we will lose the game, but you're not trying to pick on the kid. Sure sounded like it to me. Well, he played 16 minutes, scored 9 points, and had a very solid all around game. And thank goodness he did. So yeah, he was just awful today.

    Otz named to Naismith Late Season Coach of the Year watch list

    If Jaimie hasn't already talked contract raise/extension with TJ, I'm guessing those conversations will begin soon.

    That would be nice, but I doubt Lipsey sits this one out entirely. However, I'm hopeful Curtis Jones and Pav get a ton of minutes and Lipsey sits more than he plays.
