Michael Weathers, Maurice Calloo, and Kentrevious Jones. This pretty much should cement OSU in last place by the end of the year.

This might be selfish of me to think, but I’d almost rather texas jump us in the standings, and have us finish 6th if we can’t move up past the 4th place spot. We would play KU at 8 pm on Thursday instead of dreaded baylor at 11 am on Thursday. I think KU is a better matchup for us personally. Just wondered what others thoughts are on the subject!

Hearing rumors

Multiple local media guys tweeting Lard didn’t make the trip due to a violation of team rules.

Not gonna watch the game and roast me if you want, but this team has nobody like our past teams. Nobody has shown the balls to step up. I think at this point if someone was going to be the man they had stepped up earlier. It just isnt there. Good luck tonight guys!

It will be interesting to see what happens as the old guard leaves.

Waited to push this until everybody had updated via the Shayok news. Where are you guys at?

I know a few on here wanted to see the clones do it, but personally I want anyone but them.

Anyone know where to get the Ping ISU gear I have seen lately? I searched online and couldnt fine anywhere that sells it.

I found this for football.

I know there is one for wrestling, anybody have information on if it is available to public, how many wrestlers are on it, etc?

I believe I heard once you sign up, It does not necessarily mean you are transferring, but the wrestler has given up the right to his scholarship.

I've just been really focusing on watching Tech's defense tonight. First of all, I am no guru on defense or basketball in general. I just like to learn from those in the know. Tech just doubled Osetkowski also, and by the time he pivoted to pass it out to the guard, the Tech player had already rotated over to make that pass defended. On Saturday, he was able to pass it right out and the open guard nailed the three or had plenty of time to pass it to a wide open guy as another defender was flying at him. So.... what is the main issue? As a collective group, does our team not execute? Not understand? Is our double-team not quick enough or from the wrong player? Two guys do their job, three don't? Our personnel isn't equipped to play 'D' like that? Maybe Tech's double team is tougher to pass out of , includes more height than what we're able to provide? Just would like to understand.
Look, I realize there is more to defense than this one particular scenario, like stopping the dribble penetration etc., but Texas has beaten their man off the dribble different times, too, and Tech is there to either block or cause havoc with the dish. Call me envious (or jealous) of their defense.

Does anyone know a good spot to get dimensional surfaced hardwood boards in the Des Moines area outside of Menards? There are a ton of lumber companies in DSM but it’s tough to tell what they carry from their websites.

Enjoy!

It'll be revealed at halftime of tonight's UConn - S. Carolina game. This will give us a good chance to see what they think of ISU.

My wife and I are considering traveling up to Morgantown and are wondering the best way to get some tickets, best places for dining, best hotel for that night's stay, and any venue for pre-game ISU gathering. Any / all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This whole season I have not been able to sell my tickets of games I havent been able to go to. I post on facebook and craigslist, and I havent sold a single ticket this year. I have seats in section 203(not great spot) but I cant even sell big 12 tickets for $20 each. A few years ago I had zero issues, they were gone in minutes. Where are people selling their tickets?

We hypothesized that the defense has been the troubling issue of late, it is... but I laid out what is different now and how it all ties together. Hope it makes sense and you enjoy it!

I hadn't seen this posted yet from SI. A little piece on Haliburton as THE SUPER SLEEPER prospect:

https://www.si.com/nba/2019/03/04/nba-draft-coby-white-ochai-agbaji-prospects-march-madness

The Super Sleeper: Tyrese Haliburton, Iowa State
Although Haliburton is another player who seems like a better bet for the 2020 draft, the unheralded freshman has become a serious person of interest for NBA teams. The possibility of a productive March remains on the table, and as we’ve written dating back to January, Haliburton should at least be in good position to test the draft and get feedback. His case is certainly a strange one, as his scoring contributions and overall shot diversity have been minimal, but his brilliant feel for basketball is extremely evident and is something that has to be experienced over the course of a full game to properly comprehend. It will be hard for Haliburton to be a first-round pick while averaging less than 10 points per game, plus the fact he needs to get much stronger and he shoots a funky shot, but it can’t be stressed enough how impressive he’s been from a feel standpoint all season.

Haliburton’s pathway to going one-and-done may be inherently paradoxical, although frankly, he’s good enough that there should be no guilt discussing it—while NBA teams would undoubtedly love to see more of what he can do as a scorer and ball-handler, one of his strengths is how unselfishly he’s fit into Iowa State’s system (he had a remarkable 17-assist game early in the season), which generally features four ballhandlers at a time. In other words, it’s unlikely he breaks from what makes him so good to showcase other elements of his game that could turn more heads. But Iowa State does want him to shoot the ball more frequently, and he’s certainly capable of doing more from an individual perspective. Part of the beauty of the way he plays is how often he makes the correct choice to facilitate instead.

The prevailing thought is that returning to school would let him spend most of his time at point guard, thus creating a huge window for him to make a case as a first-round pick in 2020. Still, there are some (myself included) who already view him as a first-round talent, and stranger things have happened. He’s a player to watch closely, just in case.
