ESPN Video Beta - Answering Andy Katz's Emails
I swear I didn't know that I asked him this question on his little email segment but we got some sweet love from him.

So you're THE Alex that always seems to get the questions through....

[A-town Cy]

Shooting low Alex? Thats pretty cool though. And we finally hear a good explanation on the new tournament.

[gocubs2118]

Yes I am THE Alex.

Doug Gottlieb is the easiest for me. He always seems to answer one of my questions a week. Andy Katz is a little bit harder but since we have been playing better he has started to answer my questions about ISU. Jay Bilas is just impossible, he doesn't give two ***** about us, I probably sent my question in 30 today and he didn't answer it, he also had a 2 hour chat. I always like to be persistent and I just copy and paste my question to the question box to make it go faster. Thats how I usually get my questions answered.

I guess in a way it makes sense, since Doug is familiar with the B12 he is more apt to comment on us. Katz I don't know where he came from, and Bilas, you know he focuses on the ACC.

I am pretty sure Katz got his start as a blogger from somewhere in Illinois... Not 100% sure though...

ok, with that being said... any chances on the CIB this year?? lol

If Iowa State was invited by both who would they choose, since CIB is in competition with the NCAA.

Even though the NCAA screwed us this year, I think you choose NIT to prevent future screwings!

If I were one of those guys, I probably would not want to talk about the Big Ten. Primarily because I don't like the Big 10, also because I don't know a lot about it (because I don't like it). Maybe that is what is up with Bilas, he doesn't want to look like an idiot by answering a question about the Big 12 so he doesn't bother.

Whatever it is, it must be the same way that "Shane from Marshalltown" gets his emails on Soundoff EVERY week.

Katz is a newspaper guy that attended the University of Wisconsin. I am not sure where he grew up. He may have been a blogger, too, but I am not sure about that either.

Yes I am THE Alex.

Should we just refer to you as tALEX? (like tOSU)

[MJAnderson]

I'll be willing to bet all of my credits that if we happen to get invited to both, the NIT and CBI, we choose the CBI. Based on how the NCAA has treated us this year.
