    What would cause TJ to move?

    There's probably more stability in Ames than Ann Arbor. But it's important to remember that Howard has worn thin on Michigan fans (and probably the administration) for his prior incidents where his anger got out of hand (Maryland, Wisconsin, own training staff, plus others). So their performance...

    2023-24 ISU WBB Season Thread

    I did some looking for all the women's bracketology projections out there. All four I found have Iowa State in the tournament and were made before Saturday's results. ESPN (updated Friday morning): 11 seed, avoiding the play-in CBS (updated Friday afternoon): 9 seed HerHoopStats (updated...

    Court Storming

    If Rob Jones or Hason Ward did the same thing in that hypothetical, I'm confident a ton of people here would be supporting it. Maybe not you, I don't know. I'd also note that walking, which is what Filipowski was doing, requires putting one foot in front of the other, so if someone runs into...

    Court Storming

    I completely agree. Let's imagine that this exact same situation happens in Manhattan at the end of the season, with KSU in Wake Forest's position and Iowa State in Duke's. We would all be livid at KSU and their fans if any of Iowa State's players ended up in the middle of a court storm in the...

    Where are they now? Coaching staffs of the past 20 years

    Both Nick Nurse and Jeff Grayer. Weird to think about the alternate history if McDermott hadn't taken the Creighton job. https://cyclonefanatic.com/2010/04/williams-blog-grayer-coming-home/

    ***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

    I don't think he'll spend all his time there (unless it's a weird situation with both Watson and Biliew leaving), but it looks like in the last 5 games, he's played 10 or more minutes a game there. I could imagine that bumping up to even 20+ minutes a game at the four, but it probably depends on...

    ***Official 2024 Transfer Thread***

    When Watson and MM are in together, I'm pretty sure that Watson is still the 4 for all intents and purposes. He definitely is on offense. On defense, it probably depends a bit more on matchups, but I think Watson is still usually guarding the spot that King was. However, MM has still gotten...

    Kansas State fans are madder than I have ever seen

    I believe the similar play you're thinking of happened in the Houston home game with a foul on Jones. I think the difference with that play was that the Houston player was at least trying to go for the ball, but Jones sort of went up in a way that resulted in the defender getting all face on his...

    *** Official #6 IOWA STATE vs #2 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

    I'm glad that the next game is WVU at home and there's a little more rest because of the Monday game. A lot of guys looked sore towards the end of that game, Lipsey and BRE more than anybody. Hopefully they stay focused and can jump on WVU and some of the starters can get some well-deserved rest.

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    Watkins has averaged 22.8 field goal attempts per game as a freshman. Clark is currently averaging 22.7 field goal attempts per game, the highest of her college career (next highest was 19.8 as a sophomore).

    NBA: ***2023-24 NBA season***

    I'll admit that I did like the 2020 game better, when they were going really hard in the 4th quarter. However, I think it's a mistake from Silver and the NBA to constantly groan about players not trying. Instead, they should lean into the players having fun and try out some different things...

    Pick one team

    That's how I took it. But let's not forget that sophomore year Haliburton was averaging 15/6/6 on 50/42/82 shooting before his injury. Plus, in this format, Tyrese is a player who showed an ability his freshman year to coexist with other ball handlers as an efficient spot-up shooter and...

    What did Otz screw up this game

    I don't even necessarily disagree with him on all of his points about defensive rebounding, but today is a weird day to bring it up (as it was after the KSU game when he did the same thing). Tech had an offensive rebounding rate of 20% today, below their season number of 30.5% and their...

    ***2023-24 Mens College Basketball Thread***

    Cincinnati squeaked out a win at UCF. They're 16-9 (5-7), with three home games they'll be favored in (OSU, KSU, and WVU) and three road games they'll be underdogs in (TCU, Houston, OU). If they win the games they're supposed to, they might have a shot at getting to the right side of the bubble...

    Every game I say 'Ok THIS game we are gonna come out flat and not shoot well...'

    As far as shooting is concerned... I think we were 2-11 from three in the first half? Even with that, we still took the 14 point lead into half. Maybe it felt like we were playing perfect, but looking at the stats, I can't help but think that this team still hasn't technically played a truly...

    That would be because of their win against Chaminade (DII) in Maui.

    Iowa State is the new Press Virginia

    This idea reminds me a bit of the Duke student section all sitting down so Speedo Guy could be a "blooming flower" (his words, not mine).

    Could this team become the best team in Cyclone MBB History?

    Remember, though, that the Big 12 schedule at that time was only 16 games. Iowa State played everyone in the Big 12 North home and away, and everyone in the South just once. At this point in 2000, Iowa State was only ranked 14th, because the only games against ranked opponents were losses...

    2023-2024 MBB computer projections thread

    Gilbert's ceiling is definitely that of an NBA player. But to hit his ceiling, his shot needs to be more consistent and he would need to become a better decision-maker (not so much with passing, more so with picking his spots and not forcing bad shots on drives). If Tamin continues to work on...

    ****Official Class Of 2025 Recruiting Thread****

    The prediction numbers that are on On3 come from their own proprietary algorithm that we don't know much about, but uses some data from human predictions, some data from visits, some from social media, and more. I'm guessing Iowa Stat's bump came in part from his recent visit.
