    Non-Conference Schedule

    I'm an optimist, and I believe this new team can go even further then this past team... short of a broken foot. And we could run the table and win every non-conference game. However, I fully expect to have bumps in the road and lose 2 or 3 non-conference games. We were very fortunate to win...

    All New York Updates

    Dude, I am playing both sides. I'm telling UVA fans to cheer for us and I'll cheer for them. And Michigan St. fans I'll cheer for them. But to be honest after our game I will either be jumping out of my skin in excitement, or drowning my sorrows in some NYC bar! Don't count on me for a scouting...

    All New York Updates

    Just got on the train in DC, in all our ISU gear. A smattering of Cyclone fans, of course several more Virginia fans. But one thing in common among UVA fans and just generic Bball fans... They all said please beat uCon we hate them!

    Yea, I'm at that Mariott too. Probably won't get there until 4pm. Rush to put the bags in the room and off to the send off at the Sheraton. I will be interested to see any school colors on the train today from DC. Definitely gonna smooze the UVA and MSU peeps to try and get them on our side for...

    ***Offical who is going to NYC thread***

    They won't all look the same, depending on whether they were originals, from the athletic department, etc... Freaked me out once during a NFL playoff game.

    Metro-North will provide special train for UConn fans

    I think you will be close to 50%. But 50% is not a home game at Hilton. It's 50%. It's not 100% or even 75%. And I feel fairly certain you will see the remaining portion turn against you.

    Metro-North will provide special train for UConn fans

    Yea, I think this uCon meme of just having a dominating crowd has gotten out of hand. Here are the facts. MSG holds a bit over 18,000. With school allotments and ISU Alumni estimates it seems 2500 ISU fans is a good conservative guess. So say all teams have the same and we are at 10,000. The...

    I hope we can keep this thread updated with all things Iowa State for those going to NYC. I will start with what I know. There will be a rally of sorts beginning at 4pm at Foley's on Friday, so people may stop by to meet other alumni from all over the country. It's nothing formal, but there is...

    "Cyclone Fanatic site is incredibly sensitive" -- The Boneyard (UConn)

    Well I would have hated to see them come over here had Georges still been playing. They would have gotten 0 respect and 0 chance of winning from most on this board. At least now most will say uCON has a shot. Although I am starting to believe they are in for a rude awakening come Friday night.

    What is the face value on the Sweet 16 tickets? Has anyone been charged?

    My tickets have a face value of $125 per session or $250 for the weekend. I am in level 2, center court, about half way up. So I would say some closer to the floor in level 1 are probably higher.

    Tickets online or find them at MSG?

    You can probably get cheaper from a scalper close to game time...BUT you need a friend or another cyclone fan. The friend or fan stays with he scalper until your ticket gets scanned. If they want the sell they will not be afraid to walk up to the gate with you.

    UConn fans take on Friday night

    I won't say there is no advantage for UConn playing at MSG and their familiarity with it.. However, they played there last in November and beat BC by 1 or 2 and Indiana by 2. Now that was early and maybe they win those games by 10...but it was not a huge advantage then. Also I love the fact that...

    UConn fans take on Friday night

    This is where it is tricky. You might be right about cheering for the lower seed. But it will also depend on whom they think they have a better chance of defeating. A full strength UCONN or ISU without one of its best players. Also there could be the effect where if UCONN has half the building...

    Is this another "one and done" Kansas team?

    Nice call on January 30th Madclone1. Of course some will say it was all because of Embid being out. Yet was Embid more important then Niang? Was Stanford better then North Carolina? Just excuses for another choke job. Kudos!

    Niang injury. Blessing in disguise?

    Dude. While we can still win, our chances at a national title cracked with Georges' foot. To do so now our margin of error is much smaller.

    NYC on a budget. Tips!

    NO! Do Priceline express deal. This 4 star in midtown East is $129 and is either the Marriott or The Roosevelt. I got the Marriott
