    *** Official North Carolina Central vs IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

    Safety flash Do NOT look directly into Craig Sager's suit during his interviews. It's like looking into the sun X infinity.

    Game watch in Des Moines

    I've watched quite a few Cyclones games there... not sure with regular bar crowd if that'll affect quality of gamewatch

    Cyclone Warning tshirts

    My wife picked one up at Scheels in WDM as well as a B12 Champions hat. What a great gal!

    Chris Babb and the real life of a 10 day contract

    Thanks for posting.. #mustread I LOL'd when the guy said "While his effortless-looking three-point shooting is flashy, Babb is proud of the praise on the defensive end." #3sareflashy? #Dwinsgames

    Babb to get multi-year contract from Celtics!

    http://nesn.com/2014/03/report-chris-babb-signs-with-celtics-for-rest-of-season/ LIkely that future years are non-guaranteed, which is pretty standard, but he'll have a spot through rest of year! Stevens no doubt likes the defensive talent and offensive upside Babb brings to the team... that...

    2014 NCAA Tournament

    Their best win is @NC State (53 RPI) and second best win is @Old Dominion (170 RPI)... this is why they are a #14 seed. 26 wins is impressive but having losses to IUIPUI and Florida A&M? Not so much.

    2014 NCAA Tournament

    Agreed... disappointed we didn't get a #2... more worried about this team than any other in our bracket but UNC can play when they are clicking.

    Our championship getting no love!!!

    Waiting for forum meltdown after we don't get #2 seed... I might be one of them.

    No Love for Kane? Most underrated and improved player in the NCAA

    HA! I could start a thread "No love for Hogue" as he played out of his mind this weekend. Watch the KU tape again or last minutes of KSU game. Of course, Kane and Cyclones are getting accolades from usual suspects like Fraschilla, Medcalf, Parrish, and Cyclone faithful. Just pointing out...

    No Love for Kane? Most underrated and improved player in the NCAA

    Look at Kane's amazing improvement YOY and his overall numbers in the toughest conference in the country and tell me he doesn't deserve to be at least a 2nd team All-American... His upgrades in shot efficiency are mind boggling. His stat line is as good or better in nearly every category...

    Jeff Goodman ESPN tweets

    It doesn't matter if they emphasize total resume, "eye test", or "momentum", we deserve a #2 seed and a chance to remit our Hampton performance from '01. Look at Duke from the three dimensions above and with their loss today to Virginia tell me they deserve a better seed than ISU. With...

    Melvin wins POY in Big12

    I'm glad B12 has coaches make these selections. Within a conference coaches are the best judge of awards. On a national level you have to rely on sportswriters. I'm sure Joe Sportscenter would have picked Wiggins. ESPN's teaser headline says it all... Ejim chosen over Wiggins as Big 12's POY

    Three points vs two points

    So we're 7th in the nation with a 2PFG% at 56.1% (or 1.122 pps) and 191st in 3PFG% at 34.1% (or 1.023 pps). That tells me we attack the basket, finish well, and take some ill-advised shots from three. I'd LOVE to see our three 3PFG% off of first shots in half-court offense... I'd bet it's...

    Monte Morris only 5 assists with TWO turnovers

    The throw between two players was the only time this year I've seen him make an unforced TO in my memory. I wish they kept those stats like tennis keeps unforced errors.

    Benchwarmers

    I do not troll a business on a sample of one but the only CF watch I went to Benchwarmers for (@OU this year) we had the worst waitress I've EVER had... checked on us (a table of 6) every 20 minutes and it took nearly a hour to leave after we asked for check due to many screw ups and clear lack...

    Who's That Guy: Melvin Ejim - Grantland

    Bump this to the top... I always thought Andrew Sharp was a better writer than Titus. Nowhere near the level of obnoxious snark and better taste.
