    Mark Titus Top 12

    Grantland is straight gold... I sometimes just search items relevant a few years ago to see what comes up. Hindsight is interesting in this media age.

    L'Ville vs. Memphis

    This game is FUGLY! Lots of turnovers, poor conversion on scoring opportunities, and simply poor play. I'd take the 'Clones over either of these teams any day, and throw Kentucky's athletes in there too.

    Jason Berryman Dead?

    Easily the worst thing I've clicked on in a long time... nearly every poster has a bouncing GIF of the female anatomy as their avatar and they all treat death like it doesn't apply to them. I never liked Berryman because of his off-field behavior but that still doesn't make any of this BS...

    NBC Sports Guy: Hey, are those Cyclones really any good?

    I truly do see his point BUT every advanced ranking system says ISU has played one of the best resumes to date AND if we were a tenured program like KU, UNC, or MSU this wouldn't be event worth a post. Every team has a wart at this point even if they haven't lost. We have had to come back in...

    Tonight's officials

    Settle down now... We are a likable, respectful team with good ball players who don't play dirty. Refs will not throw us under the bus... There is no conspiracy theory... I agree that this game and some others were not well-officiated but it HARD to call consistent games and there is no...

    Player development under CFH

    Completely agree on the Long and Garrett comments... I didn't want my post to get TLDR. CFH is recruiting prototype NBA PG/SG hybrids - fast, lanky, handles, and smart - and molding them to their best abilities. I would never want go against anybody who gets minutes on a Hoiberg team in...

    Player development under CFH

    I was thinking this morning about the players who have come through ISU under Hoiberg's tenure and how much BETTER many of them became as they progressed through their time in Ames. I'm not just talking about players with a "troubled" past like White and Lucious but also guys like McGee and...

    How about that Thomas kid?

    +1 to ISUFan22 It's clear that Thomas' on-ball D against driving players isn't great but I'm seeing that they are having him turn guys towards help D. That's fine w/ the amount of athleticism and D awareness of the other players on the floor. Everybody on this team has a role. The...

    '14-'15 non-conf sched?

    What has been determined (if anything) for our '15 non-conf sched? I know we have multi-year agreements to play teams like Iowa, Michigan, UNI/Drake, etc... Any new ones? Have they picked a tournament yet? I thought CFH and co. had an excellent schedule this fall though I'd love to see us...

    Rashad Vaughn - Not going to ISU

    Re: Rashad Vaughn Anybody check out the other four schools fan forums to see if they are writing open letters to Rashad? This s*** cray-cray.

    Have you seen our RPI?

    Thanks for repost... I was trying to remember what this site was the other day...

    *** Official Iowa State Vs Boise State Gameday Thread ***

    Refs are approaching even on near-term calls. Need to get consistent now. Helps ISU.

    Ridiculous box score from fromtcourt

    Ha... I didn't even catch that those 3 outscored Akron. My evaluation of those three so far this season is that Niang has improved his footwork in the block (which was already excellent) and his stamina/conditioning, Ejim is as advertised and better at staying out of foul trouble (partially...

    Boise State Matchups

    So we have #5 RPI and Boise is #23... this would qualify as a better win than v Iowa in RPI calcs. ESPN's BPI is more realistic with us at #7 and Boise at #50. Either way this is a SoS builder and an opportunity to play a quality opponent late in December. I really like the schedule CFH and...

    Ridiculous box score from fromtcourt

    Numbers yesterday from Niang / Ejim / Hogue MIN 102 FG 20-28 (71%) 3PG 8-9 (89%) FT 13-14 (93%) REB 20 AST 9 TO 5 PTS 61 Stellar game by any measure. Can't expect big men to shoot like that every game but it shows the capability is there.

    *** Official ISU vs Akron Gameday Thread ***

    This kind of win makes me feel like we can play deep into the tourney. We can shut down a mid-major star, we can keep pace with fast teams, and we can play tough with hard-nosed teams. The next 5 games will say a lt about the Clones going into heart of B12 play.

    *** Official ISU vs Akron Gameday Thread ***

    Does anybody else feel like this has the makings of a 4-13 or 5-12 tourney matchup? Could be good for us.
