    Two Things Can Be True...Yet Seem Contradictory

    Like, I'm reading on here most every day but post once or twice a year. Or this forum has what some would call "Sunshine Pumpers" who are just happy we are out of the Prohm days and winning more than 2 games and trust TJ implicitly. And there are those who are "cliff jumpers" after every loss...

    Coach Otz

    So I have been lurking these past few years as I saw little hope in the basketball program the way it was being led. Yet I didn't want to come on and just beat up Prohm everyday. And I won't here either. But I can say that even after 3 of 4 losses the joy is back! I have enjoyed this team as...

    Last 4 games expectations?

    Seems a lot of people have differing expectations, moving expectations, and differing goals for this team...which is all legit. But as of today what are your thoughts for the last 4 conference games? What are your expectations? (Mine 3-1) What would be a disappointment? (Mine 1-3)

    Notes from Maui

    Maui was one of the most fan friendly basketball tournaments I've ever been to. From the hotel to the arena, teams were accessible to all fans. I have just a few comments about the trip. Iowa State players were so gracious, kind, and engaging to fans. While these gentlemen stand on their own, I...

    Pre-game Pep Rally?

    I know in NY at the sweet sixteen, everyone gathered at the team hotel to see the guys off. It was so packed, the hotel management tried to clear the building because of a fire code. Does anyone know if people are gathering at the team hotel or other place before the game in Chicago? I did not...

    Bench production, "the weave", and fouls.

    I would love to have better point production from our bench as much as anyone. However, our losses have not come because of our offense. In our 4 losses our average score was 85 points a game. So personally, I would rather have better defensive production from our bench. I think Ashton is...

    Would you rather...

    Have a mediocre year in the big 12, barely make the tournament and make the sweet sixteen like UCLA? Or be 2nd in the conference and win the Big 12 tournament and go out early? Just interested in where everyone's priorities are. I personally could care less about anything but the NCAA tourney...

    The soft bigotry of low expectations.

    If you expect little you will receive little. There are many posters who feel we are expecting too much from this team. The expectations are just too high. They don't want to hear about poor defense, poor free throw shooting, careless turnovers, and lack of rebounding. No criticism allowed...

    Get that... out of here! Weak...!

    Anyone able to loop this video beginning at the 142:09 hour mark...or 7:40 of the 2nd half? Just a little Bryce and McKAy trash talk that I would like to play every time someone steps into my office. Multi-cam video: http://espn.go.com/watchespn/player/_/id/2318446/

    All New York Updates

    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...

    5 W's

    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...

    Stop this madness! I can't work!

    We win an unbelievable 3 OT game last night. Rashad Vaughn is announcing Saturday. This board is abuzz. And I just got front row seats at the end next to the West VA bench for Monday! I'm ready to run through a freaking wall!

    Weakness of Fred?

    Before I get reamed by the board, let me begin with 2 caveats. 1. I think Fred is a great x's and o's coach. 2. The officiating did NOT lose the game for us last night...clearly shooting did. However, one thing I have noticed over the past 4 years is that in big games we never get the...

    Technical-ity

    After last nights meltdown by Fran I wanted to get thoughts on working the officials. I do believe that almost 100% of the time, once a technical is called one of 2 things happen. 1. Either there is a quick technical on the opposing side as a make-up call. Or 2., officials think about it and...

    A View Of Hilton from the Bandwagon

    I've been around basketball my entire life as my father was a coach in the college ranks. I've officially been on the Iowa State bandwagon for the past 4 years. Although I met my Iowa State alum wife, and dance club partner to Lafester Rhodes, 10 years ago, I just couldn't jump during the Morgan...

    White was the best player last night!

    Great article from Pat Forde of just how White dominated KY. Top-seeded 'Cats shoot their way into Sweet 16 - College Basketball - Rivals.com Love this quote, "White did things to Kentucky’s front line that no one has done all season. He went around Jones like he was a totem pole. He dunked...

    OMG Media Statements

    I found this one on SB Nation today in an article summary of Round 2. "I really like Fred Hoiberg as a coach. He knew that UConn had a couple guards who apply great pressure so this week he put in a new package that had Royce White bringing the ball up as a point-forward. It worked...

    Today's press conference

    Video - College Sports Direct | Your Source for Live Sports Streaming, News and College Sports Apparel I love Scott's response to the CT reporter asking if they were intimidated going against the defending champs. "Kemba Walker's not coming back is he?"

    Melo is ineligible. Kansas State the lucky benefactor!
