    *** Official Iowa State at West Virginia Game (Day) Thread ***

    Agree to a point, but this has been a terrible half to watch. There are many more posts about recruits and BS that has no real consequence compared to an actual game of basketball which there are only so many of in a season.

    WVU Game

    Certainly a game where there is no need to double short post unless we think it'll cause TOs. The auto post double is my least favorite thing about our defense. I think we blanket Staten and Harris and make the other guys make plays. Need to to play good transition off and def and we'll be...

    Jeff Orr...Super fan?

    Prediction: 2 game suspension and Smart will attend anger management counseling. Haven't followed this too close but do B12 or NCAA have any jurisdiction on the suspension? Also that "fan" from TTU should have his season tix revoked for remainder of year if he provoked w/ racial slurs.

    Kane and Ejim nominated for "Impact Performance of the Week"

    Will the laziness of people only voting once for a Cyclone split the vote? As previously mentioned, Ejim had a great game at OSU too, especially when playing w/ 4 fouls down the stretch.

    Rashad Vaughn - Not going to ISU

    Re: Rashad Vaughn - Announcing Tuesday The meta-ness of this thread is only trumped by the meta-ness of State43's avatar. Kudos!

    Monte +/- ?

    Although I think Monte is a great player and could easily start, moving Kane to 2-guard, plus-minus is of limited value as an analysis tool in basketball. In a game like hockey which has frequent line changes and low-scoring there is much less randomness in scoring which makes it a key stat...

    *** OFFICIAL Kansas St. at IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

    That.... would actually be a really good move on CFH's part. Gotta keep these kids united and happy. May not earn points w/ Leath or Regents but would send a strong message to fan base.

    What the **** is going on with this team?

    We are #6 in 2PFG% and average in 3PFG% and #2 in both Assists PG and Assists/TO ratio... with everybody as a threat to shoot we should be spreading, cutting, and getting lots of easy looks inside. We are 17 games in and everybody who plays significant minutes has at least 13 3PFG each. That...

    Bench

    I think we are just short of a 7+ man rotation with having 10 guys able to provide minutes and finding rest / foul-saving minutes for your top-5 as needed is best situation. IMO, Iowa has too many players fighting for too many minutes, nobody knows their role. We could use fresh bodies at...

    Our Next National Championship

    Women's XC has best shot, outstanding new coaches hired this year will recruit well and inject energy into the distance programs, though former coach (Ihmels) did a great job rebuilding essentially from scratch. That said, only a few teams that step on the course at nationals in cross country...

    ******OFFICIAL IOWA STATE VS KANSAS GAME DAY THREAD******

    I'm a fan of tasteful alternative jerseys but these are just terrible. Might as well just put sleeves on them like those awful NBA unis.

    Kane's Ankle

    Kane has never relied on his speed or cutting quickness for penetration, rather he uses rhythm and spacing to his advantage. I think he can still be effective but will certainly need to modify his game tonight, depending on severity of the sprain. Side note... Many people who played injured...

    Thomas should not have been starting over Morris

    There are many examples of teams with spark plug bench players who end up playing significant minutes, sometimes even more than starters. Think of Bobby Jackson and Nate Robinson or even CFH's role his last few years w/ Minnesota. I see Naz fitting in as best he can to the role Tyus left open...

    Coaching Adjustments - Shadowing block outs and hot shooters

    Is there a reason ISU rarely seems to make hard-and-fast adjustments such as "no help defense away from [NAME]" and "don't watch ball, just block out [NAME]"? The way this game was going in the second half many coaches would instruct their players to shadow Spangler and Hield and make the other...
