    Season Tickets

    Getting tickets for the first time. I donated to the Cyclone Club to get better seat options and was told that I would be getting an email advising more info on 04/01. Who knows how this works and what I should expect?

    Marlins Man looking to attend an ISU football game this year

    Did anyone else open this up and think it was a recruit? I must be out of touch because I have never heard or seen Marlins Man. Would have been a great name for a recruit if you ask me.

    Georges Niang - Wooden Award All American

    I understand Grayson had a good season but I think if you match him up against the rest its no contest. Georges has himself in some rarefied air with this group. He was fun to watch, no two ways about it.

    Does Monte not respect Matt Thomas?

    I agree with the MT at 3 crowd. Monte was addressing the back court and not the entire make up. MT has some ups and I think is a solid all around player. Lord knows we could use someone with some savvy around the defensive basket to box out and keep the offensive rebounds down to a manageable...

    Steve Prohm Report Card thus far

    So much for media experts knowing what they were talking about. If he would have let Nader keep shooting us out of runs and McKay try to do things he can't our season would have been much worse. I was as frustrated as anyone with our rebounding, especially defensive, but I think our defense...

    Good article about officials and scrutiny

    Okay, you are obviously more up on this than most of the group. What I don't understand on the phantom calls was the positioning of the refs calling the foul. All three of the first half phantoms were called by the ref on the other side of the court while the official standing right on top of...

    *** Official IOWA STATE vs Virginia Game(day) Thread ***

    Go back and read the post. Nader took 4 shots. 4. That is not enough. It could have been VA defense or us just trying to push it inside and not trying to kick it out. When we got pressured we just didnt seem to get the ball to the wings like I thought we needed. I AM NOT BLAMING ANYONE...

    *** Official IOWA STATE vs Virginia Game(day) Thread ***

    It seems every game we lost this year we failed to get someone beside Niang and Morris involved. Two things I would like to see next year is better rebounding positioning and more balanced offense. This is not a knock on Georges at all but, as a team, we left too much to him to do. Nader had...

    Rough and Tumble Game

    We have shown we can play tough D for 25 seconds. The last 5 seconds has killed us all year. If we keep our hands in front and don't lunge we should be okay. Too many times we bailed out opponents with careless fouls. If we do that, protect the second chance buckets I like our chances. If...

    Naz jersey

    I do think the OP probably was at the game in Denver, stopped by one of the local shoppes and pick up some "oregano" and made brownies last night before starting this post.

    Controlling pace and ISU wins when its defense "overperforms"

    The "lazy on defense" has to stop. Generally what killed us was holding the opponents down for 20+ seconds and then giving up a bad foul or offensive rebound. To say we play lazy on D is false.

    Virginia players scout their ISU counterparts

    Either Nader or Thomas have to have a big game for us to have a chance. Preferably both will light it up but somebody has to loosen up their D.

    Controlling pace and ISU wins when its defense "overperforms"

    Was this some type of thesis paper? I had less info than that on my final English essay I had to write in college.

    I am so Freakin' Excited!

    I usually get nervous the day of games but this one started yesterday. I guess all the years of thinking we had it and getting the Charlie Brown football treatment has me by the balls. I will be in the chair screaming my fool head off and always hoping that this is the year.

    I am so Freakin' Excited!

    I am guessing after Burton's yak at the dunk last weekend he won't be trying anything fancy. I bet Prom had a few choice words for him after the game and while watching film.

    One Shining Moment
