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

    Got my tickets last night for both sessions. One tip: Hotels around MSG have gouged their prices. I just got 3 nights at the Mariott in Midtown (5 minute cab ride to MSG) for $125 a night (priceline bid). Also, if we win Friday there will be cheap Uconn tickets for sale right afterward for Sunday.

    We can play better D with Percy and Edozie having 10 fouls to give. George sometimes played soft to stay out of foul trouble. Let's get physical!

    Where are you picking the Cyclones

    This is me. I've tried to think this through. But we have great guard play which is huge in this tournament. We have 3 big time scorers and not just one like most teams. And unlike the past 2 seasons, this team can get stops when they need to. Plus, they're just really tough minded, hard nosed...

    We need a new end of half play

    Kane is great... just not the last 15 seconds of the half. BTW, I think everyone is enjoying the win. But there is a big difference in going in at the half maybe up 8 or 9 and going in only up 3. And like the OP stated, it's not like this was Kane's first dalliance with end of half situations.

    If we win the Big XII Tournament is a number two seed attainable?

    All I know is that it's pretty awesome we're discussing a 2 or 3 seed and not "did this win definitely secure us in the tourney?" Or, "will we be an 8,9, or 10 seed. Also folks, it's probably better to be the highest 3 seed instead of the lowest 2 seed. I do think with a Big 12 tourney...

    ESPN Power Rankings Update

    Please let us play Tenn and us only favored by 1! That would be crazy! I'd bet the house on that. Has anyone seen TN play? They are not a good team. Sometimes you just have to use common sense! But I pray this happens.

    Kenpom.com

    I really don't know how much credibility Kenpom had, but this is so ridiculous on numerous fronts besides ISU that it just makes him look ridiculous. Rankinsg like that lead to no credibility, and you'll see it in the seeds as they are announced. He will not even be close.

    that will teach me to give up before the final whistle

    If you have it DVR'd or can watch the replay it is funny. Right after the shot the crowd is going crazy. They pan one side and then go to a student section end. There is a girl in her coat running back down the steps to her seat. She obviously left too soon!

    Who takes the shot?

    Yea there is a difference in how this happens. If it is in the flow of the offense or rushing to ball up the court Kane seems to find the right guy or drives the lane. Both Okie State games he made the passes that made it happen. BUT, if it's a matter of dibbling down the clock until the last...

    Curious Situation

    I agree with this. However, as I state in another thread I will not be disappointed in an early exit to the BIG 12 tourney. I think the rest could do us a lot of good.

    BIG XII Tourney! Predictions

    West Virginia may be the most dangerous because they have the most to gain. So I think they have a good shot to the finals. On our side, I don't want to play a team we have defeated twice, so actually hope KU beats OSU. On a side note, looking at the long term goal here of going far into the...

    5 W's

    What I find more humorous then my post is the meltdown... of the crowd crying meltdown. They are like 2 year old's sticking their fingers in their ears screaming "la, la, la, la...I can't hear you...la, la, la, la" , as if facts staring them in the face will just go away. I actually believe we...

    WHO leaves the other teams hottest 3 point shooter to go double in the post? We do. WHAT movie is Kane watching as he dribbles out the clock of each half? Hoosiers. It only works for Jimmy Chitwood, DeAndre. WHEN will Melvin realize it's powder, not Vaseline, that goes on his hands before...

    Iowa State men's basketball team (as a whole)

    I am thrilled with this year and have enjoyed it as much as any in the past 10 years. However, I am not satisfied. Especially this year when any of 20 teams could win the Championship. So I look at things to improve this team's chances of getting there. If we can improve these few problem areas...

    *** Official Iowa State at Kansas State Game (Day) Thread ***

    If you want to win on the road and in the tournament you just cannot throw away possessions like that. And this is by far...not the first time. Someone needs to get this straightened out or it will cost us when we need it most.
