That's sad.

That's reality. I don't know how you can say a 3 win conference team "should" win any road conference game.

[ISUFan22]

Apparently you're not aware of just how bad CU is. We should be able to beat them playing hoops on the Gladiator Earthquake platform while hopping on one foot.

[WalkingCY]

Yeah...mainly because thats pretty close to where I thought we would be at this point.

Yeah, I agree here. Those wins should have happened. Would we be going to the dance? No. But we would be considered an NIT team at that point....I think that is what most of us visualized at the Beginning of the year..... then there wouldn't be this outstanding heat on GMac too.

After this Baylor game, we all obviously liked the good win at home. Especially against a team that went to the tourney last year....they had a lot to play for last night....and we actually played good basketball in the Second Half too. But we need to get a road win in conference..... hell, why not two? This should be the focus....then get Tech at home. I would feel a whole hell of a lot better about next season.

Good win last night though.....keep it going Clones-

Is 5-11 or 6-10 possible?

Just FWIW, Iowa is now averaging 900 fewer fans per game than ISU, and I don't know if you've seen the last 3 crowds in Carver, but there has been a solid 14,000+. Iowa has had the 3 largest crowds in the state this year (MSU, Michigan, Purdue).

$10 tickets will do that for conference games.

Part of me thinks Iowa State should try Iowa's methods for one game just to see if we could fill the place. We don't need the gimmicks really but more as an experiment to see if 14,356 is possible.

I'm not sure why everyone is complaining about the outside shot when we haven't had one for about 10 games. I know it got old during the non-conference but we desperately need it in conference. I knew if we were to win last night that we would need a lot of production from outside, instead of Craig going for 30 points and 15 rebounds. When he starts to take over, our other guys just stand around. It's not his fault, that's just what happens. But last night our guards seemed much more involved in the game.

I agree we realistically should have split those 4 losses (Wins=SDSU & Hawaii, Losses= CU & Drake) just because we knew there would be let downs. But those teams have proven to be not good at all.

I would make one switch and then agree (Wins=SDSU & Drake, Losses= CU & Hawaii)

Yes I know Hawaii is miserable, but take into account our road woes and especially the extra long distance and time difference and you can at least attempt to make an excuse, not that it's acceptable. No excuse to lose to Drake at home, it's become quite obvious that everything they had going for them last season is coaching at Providence right now. No excuse for SDSU either... maybe it's because the students were gone for break?

Watching the NU vs Texas AM game last night, they called the ISU loss in Ames a BAD loss for NU. I was offened by that and turned the channel after that comment. I guess I'm still living back in the Fizer Era when I expected to win every HOME game, especially vs terrible programs like NU, KSU, and CU.

Yeah that was about 10 years ago.

We do have upperdeck seats for 15 bucks and season tickets in the upperdeck for 5 bucks a game.


Hilton hasn't gone 14356 since... well.... its been a few years.

Part of me thinks we should win and fill the place that way.

We have the worst seats in the house for $15. I went to buy tickets online for the K-State game...$30 per ticket for 2nd row from the top balcony seats. That's more than ridiculous to watch a bad team.

I wish ISU would lower ticket prices just to get people into Hilton. We aren't averaging 11,000 fans for the past several home games.

Yup, I think that's key. The rest of the tickets that are not behind the basket are $27.00 a piece at Iowa, and I think those are still ridiculous given the lack of success on the court.

Exactly. And since no one can purchase tickets in the lower level in Hilton, why not make all balcony seats $10, or even $5, for the last home game? Get a few new butts in the seat, pack the place for senior day, put a few extra $$$ in the AD's pocket...I don't see how this could ever be a bad thing for the last home game of the season.

[Clones85']

Not true. He didn't miss all the free throws leading up to the last shot.

That's hogwash. We would have been heavily favored to win that game. There would be no reason for him to miss the layup on purpose if the spread was 20 points.

It's actually true. Tinsley got paid some money to make sure we didn't cover. He still wanted to make that layup but he wanted to make sure Hampton covered. I think the line was 15. He made sure they kept it close and than they made the key plays at the end. That is 100% true

[Cycofan1]

if we would of won hawaii, sdsu, colorado, drale, and Kansas state. We would be 19-9.
