    Rest of the Way

    Half way through the conference season, let's look ahead. To start with, protect Hilton tomorrow for a sweep of TCU. Then, I would love to see Cincinnati knock off Houston tomorrow. Keep UH from gaining on the pack. Take the edge off Cincinnati desperation for a big win, probably moving them...

    Beyond POed!

    Worked today, recorded the game. I thought. Imagine the frustration when I go to tivo recordings, select Big 12 Tournament, it says ISU-Baylor, but what I get is ACC GAME! Anybody else?

    UNI at Drake ...

    ... was pretty entertaining tonight. Drake now in a 4-way tie for 1st in the MVC. UNI in a 4-way tie for 2nd, one game back. 8 teams within one game of the conference lead. That's kind of cool.

    Impatiently Waiting for Baylor

    Gameday can't get here soon enough! Any early thoughts on the conference opener?

    Conference Start

    Assuming a win over Omaha, I think following with a 3-1 start to the conference is attainable. Baylor in Hilton will be tough, obviously, but not impossible. At OU, IMO, is one of the handful of realistically winnable conference road games. TCU on the road is the one I expect to lose. Then...

    Upcoming Schedule

    Win 1 of next 4 (@ OU, @ KU, vs UT, @TT) leaves the record at 14-4, 2-4. Followed by 3 very winnable games (vs TCU, @ OSU, vs MIZ), now 17-4, 4-4 leading up to a home game vs Kansas. I would take that!

    UNI MBB Steep Decline

    After an abysmal 2020-2021, despite returning 100% of points and rebounds, and with AJ Green (and Kimmons) back from injury/personal absence, the Panthers are struggling, at best. Down 32-25 to Jackson St. at half. Is Jacobson's time coming to an end?

    Those Who Left

    Don't know if this goes elsewhere (General College Sports), but anybody been keeping track of the interest in Bolton, JCL, Dubar, and Blackwell?

    Former Cyclone vs UNI

    I didn't realize Jakolby Long is now at Southern Illinois. Played against UNI today. Well, kind of.

    Not Feeling Sorry

    Worst start since 3 years before Adolph Rupp! https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/30573544/kentucky-wildcats-coach-john-calipari-asks-freshman-camron-fletcher-step-away-program

    Debatable Targeting and Obvious Facemask Penalties

    A receiver faling backward, which brings his head lower, gets hit with a shoulder by DB who doesn't launch or use the helmet. Two of the most egregious facemask penalties. One on Purdy, completely turning his head 180 degrees. The other on Hall (?), ripping his helmet off. In neither case did...

    UNI over Colorado

    I know some on CF don't care, but nice win for UNI.

    Upcoming Schedule

    Starting Sunday with SH, through Jan. 29 vs BU, seems brutal. Could see 5-7 in that stretch. These next 2 games will set a tone. 2-0 changes everything.

    SiriusXM

    I'll be on the road during game time tomorrow. Anybody know if I can listen to John & Eric (or any other coverage) on a SiriusXM channel?

    Young Done

    Sounds like Solomon will apply for medical redshirt.

    Way too Early

    I know it's not nearly as important as any conference game, and I am not fond of the timing, but I'm curious about the SEC challenge game at Ole Miss. They're currently 11-2, although what looks like a somewhat weak schedule, on the road (where they're undefeated so far), sandwiched between @...

    UNLV at UNI

    Anybody watching? Panthers controlling.

    First Post

    OK, I've been reading as a guest for years. Many years. Finally joined, but still just a reader. I've been watching Cyclone basketball (and football) since early 70s. What makes me submit my 1st post? I am soooo pissed off by watching this laughable exhibition of basketball officiating I just...
