    Kara Lawson...

    I was impressed with Kara. Some of these guys ESPN puts on as announcers are flat out jokes. The whole white board thing was kind of sketchy on ESPN's part. They really can't afford to let her use a telestrator? Unbelievable.

    The more I think about last night....

    You can't just put this on Ejim. He's a freshman he will bind when put in a tough situation. 4 other upper classman were on the court when he turned that ball over and committed the and 1 foul. Not saying he didn't make a huge mistake by being indecisive but he should have never been put in that...

    Going to be 100% Honest

    All you can ask for is for them to go out and leave it all on the floor and when DG plays the whole game i don't know how much more you can ask for. Yeah he made a mistake with the charge but he also kept us in the game. This team is 7 deep and most teams they played and will play 9 to 10 deep...

    Bubu!

    Bubu will get his time to show he deserves to play. 1 year can do a lot for a player and who knows how good he could be this time next year. He has a lot of growing up to do but he showed tonight he can make big plays when needed and with the talent coming in he could end up being a huge...

    This really hurts, BUT...

    The tourney was a dream I'm sure we all had after the great start they had but really when you look at it the NIT would be a great finish to Hoiberg's first season and some momentum for next year. But I will say if i was any other B12 team going into the conference tournament, I would not want...

    Second guy gets caught every time. Whether it was just a reaction or intentional he got caught swinging his elbow. I don't agree with the it but it had to be called.

    You may not like this

    I really don't know what more people wanted with a new head coach with 0 coaching experience and only going 7 deep most games. It really is a decent year whether or not they finish above .500 in the conference and they still have a good chance going to the NIT. Nobody could have predicted...

    ***Official: Iowa State @ Okla. State postgame thread***

    That was a bad loss. A couple careless turnovers in the end and Ejim's and 1 foul was a big turning point. Freshman mistake though nothing you can do. Its heart breaking to watch a team do so well to end up losing it in the end. It was a tough loss and maybe a turning point in the season. Need...

    Going to be 100% Honest

    Gotta put this one on Hoiberg's lack of experience. He shouldn't have let OK St get so close after going up by ten. Also some big mistakes by the freshman Ejim didn't help them in the end. The big play was the and 1 he gave up. Either take the foul and make him earn the points and the line or...

    NBA Draft

    D-league is DGs best bet. He is a niche player. His talents will work great with certain teams and others he won't out with. Give him a season in the NBDL and he could have some serious potential. If he can improve his shooting and stop being so streaky and unpredictable with his shooting % he...

    How many wins until a shot at the NIT, or *gulp* NCAA tourney?

    They need 8 for sure and maybe even get one win at the big 12 tourny for an invite to the big dance but if they can pull out 4 or 5 wins and at least one big statement win over Mizzu, KU, or Texas then they will definitely will be going to the NIT. As much as I would love to see them go to the...

    KenPom rankings

    I think 8 wins is a decent number to be given but its a little optimistic. Being realistic they will probably get 5 or 6 and that would be awesome and help them out on making some type of postseason. Now K-State on the other hand shot shot them self in the foot with being so overrated then...

    ***Official: Iowa State @ Okla. State game(day) thread***

    Gotta take the clones to break the streak of losing at Stillwater. Clones to cover spread and win by 6. Banking on Diante to have a huge game.

    First Timer

    Hey just thought I would introduce myself since it is my first time suing CF. I am a big fan of Cyclone basketball and hope to be transferring to ISU next fall so i can be at all the games and follow the teams easier. Looking forward to what happens at the end of the season and hopefully the...
