    Instant reaction podcast 1-4-19

    Stansbury’s instant reaction podcast pretty much spot on and a good listen (last one was too FWIW). Is there anyone besides the coaches who still thinks Conditt shouldn’t be starting? Anyone?? https://cyclonefanatic.com/podcasts/instant-reaction-tcu-81-iowa-state-79-ot/

    Radon found on inspection

    I'm buying a house in Ames. I had a radon test done as part of the inspection, which came back as 4.3. 4.0 is the level where mitigation is recommended. My realtor is telling me that because it's 'borderline', we can't ask the seller to install/pay for mitigation. Everything I hear (online...

    Iowa State Employment

    Just curious for anyone who works at Iowa State, is there room for negotiating salary within the stated pay grade, or do new hires typically start at the minimum as is the case in some organizations? http://www.hrs.iastate.edu/hrs/node/975/attachment

    Mobile site issues

    Mobile app is repeatedly loading, posting very difficult as it constantly forces you out of the text box and is very difficult to change cursor position, and app quits a lot. Didn't have any of these issues with the old mobile app or with other programs. Using iPhone 6 with iOS 9.3.5

    UW-Milwaukee fires coach

    Didn't see mentioned anywhere that UW-Milwaukee fired head coach Rob Jeter. Wonder if there will be any interest in Otzelberger. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/14994630/wisconsin-milwaukee-panthers-part-ways-coach-rob-jeter

    Bo Ryan to retire in 1 year

    Bo Ryan says he will coach 1 more year and then retire. Expectedly hopes UW hires Greg Gard as his replacement, but we'll see (or even if he does retire after this year). Could be a golden opportunity to get Wisconsin kids; Antentenoumpo et al. Hope TJ is ready and comfortable in Ames...

    Hoiberg's offense

    Its been repeated many times over the years that Hoiberg is an 'offensive genius' etc. But as far as I can tell his offensive plan is pretty simple: 1. Space the floor to force the D to defend the whole floor. 2. Shoot efficient shots (3's, FT's, paint). 3. Be flexible, allow...

    Matt A as lead recruiter

    Besides Diallo, what recruits was Matt A the lead recruiter for when he left? I thought Yakwe, Coffey, not sure who else. Just curious which guys we may need to re-establish ties with or even end up backing back off from.

    3 pt defense

    If it seems like ISU has been giving up a lot of 3 pointers, it's because they have. ISU is currently last place in the Big 12 in 3 pt % defense and last place in 3 pt FGA/G. http://www.big12sports.com/ViewContent.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=10410&CONTENT_ID=1087464 In every conference game, opponents...

    Khem Birch of UNLV declaring for NBA

    Probably shouldn't care, but eh, still want UNLV to suck. They've got some great freshman, but with BDJ transferring, Birch and Roscoe Smith going to the NBA and Oklei%wk# graduating, that'll be pretty much all they have. Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN UNLV big man Khem Birch told ESPN that...

    Morris article

    Article on Morris; nothing groundbreaking but nice to see him get some press. http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/04/05/monte-morris-and-the-sophomore-leap/ Ames Trib article as well: http://amestrib.com/sports/men-s-basketball-morris-goes-overshadowed-budding-star

    North Carolina Central

    Looks like they heavily lean on one guy, 6'3 Jeremy Ingram on offense (20.6 ppg). Has put up 37 and 38 pt games this year. Seem to start two bigs (6'7 and 6'8). Also on a pretty impressive win streak.

    Mid/low major league tourneys

    Just curious what most people's opinions are of mid-low major conference tournaments. Most leagues crown their champion, and automatic qualifier, with a tournament (Ivy league is the only one I know of that doesn't). For many of these leagues, this will be the only team that makes it. This...

    Big 12 in 2014-15

    The Big 12 is arguably the best conference in CBB this year. Looking at team rosters, it sure looks like it could be even tougher next year. A bunch of the contending teams are really young. After a cursury look, Iowa State, Kansas, OSU, and Baylor are about the only teams that lose multiple...

    2/17 ranking

    These kinds of threads are pointless, but just looked at the rankings and ISU could fall like a rock tomorrow. The only teams behind us that lost to unranked teams were #23 SMU and #25 Pitt. Could end up as low as #21 and I wouldn't be terribly surprised. I'll guess #19 or 20. Probably the...

    3 pt defense

    One thing we clearly need to work on is defending the 3 point line. Iowa State has given up the most 3 pointers in the league and is dead last in 3 pt % defense. We've been rebounding well lately at least. We pretty much got stomped all around last night, but I think we've been soundly beaten...

    Requisite what channel for the game thread?

    Flying to Minnesota during the game Saturday and trying to get father in law to tape the game. Anyone know what channel for up there? He's got Charter FWIW. And yes, I already looked at the Big 12 channel lineup and none are Minnesota channels. I'd just flip around till I found it but I'd...
