Not sure if this was posted before. I thought it might have, but I couldn't find the thread... regardless... pretty tough lineup with Florida, Miami, Stanford, and Gonzaga. Not sure their skill level, but definitely more name brand than some tourneys we've been in in the past.

That is a good lineup. ISU is going to struggle next year.

Bring it on!

Does anyone know if that Advocate stuff actually works?

Will be interesting to see if Gonzaga is any good next year. Losing Wiltjer and Karnowski to graduation after this year will be brutal but they return Sabonis and will have Johnathan Williams, the transfer from Mizzou, available.

So you're saying that in exactly one year from today, Malou's name will be a household name? Sweet...

They are?

They are?

'Struggle' probably isn't the word there.

Multi level marketing company, draw your own conclusions. If it worked you could buy it at target.

It was posted when announced a couple months ago or so. Good field and great test for the team. If Monte stays, we can compete for the title in it I think

Watching the WSU game in this tournament right now, one of their players is being carted off after colliding heads with an Alabama player.

Sabonis will likely be playing in the Association next season (if he wants to)

Maui in 2017 *fingers crossed*

What is your interpretation of "struggle" win half games, less then half, bottom of B12? IMO little better than 500 season and 8-10 B12 possibly and if Monte sticks around tag a few more wins.

I heard we're playing Texas A&M in the Big12/SEC challenge this year. Details soon.

Ha well then why play the games?

A line up of Morris, Jackson, Burton, Malou, Carter, Cooke, Thomas, and the incoming Frosh is talented enough to compete for a tourney bid. How they'll be playing together in December has yet to be seen but I think "going to struggle next year" is a too pessimistic.
We don't have any idea how good Florida, Miami, Stanford, or Gonzaga will be either a year from today.

Losing all 5 starters will sting a bit.

Maui in 2017 *fingers crossed*

Nope. Maui announces 2 years ahead, and the 2017 field doesn't include ISU (or any other Big 12 team).
