We beat them at their place the same year they went to the tournament.

But I agree, they will be tough in Hilton this year. I think we have a team together that will be able to handle them.

There is not one team on our schedule that we can't beat. With that said, there are sure as hell some tough teams. I think we struggle early, but start to really fire on all cylinders come January, just in time for the Dook game.

Yep.... $99, just purchased it. I think its good investment. Plus if I go to the sports bar and watch, it will cost me 20-30 dollars with food & beer. Go CYCLONES!

So just to be clear, these games should also be on the Big12 Network or CTN as well correct? This is just for out of state people?

Yes for both questions.

Since I live in state of Jayhawk and purple uglies... I have to get ESPN full court to get full ISU coverage...... This is the only way for me to get anything besides bird/cat games.

Not this year. They returned 4 starters from a 21 or 22 win team and added a McDonalds AA and a 5 star transfer from UConn. The big 12 is going to be sick this year. But we are going to be good too. Will be an exciting season.

Just read this article... I'm gonna find the guy who wrote this and snap his neck... how is K-State a higher volume team then us. ********

Not really understanding why people are getting so offended about the KSU love. They lost hardly anything from a 4th place finish last season, and brought in a couple 5-star big guys in Wally Judge and Curtis Kelly. Denis Clemente is a hot-headed ****** and Frank Martin is insane, but they're likely going to be a good team.

Awesome - thanks for doing this.

Are you only staying the first half?

hopefully as this team starts to win espn will switch a few more of these games from full court to a regular scheduled espn primetime game. This years big 12 conference games against the likes of oklahoma, kansas, texas, k state and okie state should all be huge games and more than likely all those teams as well as Iowa St should be ranked assuming everything goes accordingly

That's not how it works. The only time an ISU game got bumped up to ESPN after the season started was a few years ago, during the hockey lockout/strike (whatever it was), when ESPN had to scramble to fill air time.
