Does Tre still have a covid year of eligibility left?

I hope this is forever known as the CyHawk Massacre game.

Did you see aftermath of the great play made by Tre King. Big Rob came up and did the muscle flex to honor King's play. It was fantastic.

What I love the most about how we played is that we are proving to ourselves that we don't need to be a prolific 3 point shooting team to win. Getting to the rim and strong physical post play is going to take the Cyclones deep into March. Book it.

Timely threes or action out near the perimeter might be what the post game needs as ISU gets into conference play.

That'll be a very different animal compared to whatever Iowa was doing the other night. It does look like Jones and King are coming along to figure out how to operate together down there.

People need to slow their roll. I count 80 Power 6 teams. We literally just beat the 76th and 80th teams in ADJDE. If you think I'm exaggerating about how bad they were go look at the metrics yourself.

This team may very well be capable of making a deep run in March but things are about to get real starting January 6th. People need to get prepared for a 9-9, 10-8, 8-10 type season. The Big 12 is alot stronger now than the last few years.

Sign me up for that.

Depending on where the wins come from that's likely still a tourney team. Fun.
