It'd be cool if Creighton was in the CBE next year as well. Get a nice environment going for that game down in KC.

RPI killer. Creighton will win about 6 games next year after Dougie, Wragge, and Jess Settles, I mean Grant Gibbs graduate.

I would imagine that our big-time home-and-home would be at Hilton in '14?

We are likely going to play road games at a decent to good SEC opponent and at Iowa next fall, so we have to be looking for a big non-confernece home game.


Well, we did have all three at home this year. No guarantee one has to be at home. Also, no guarantee ISU is on road for SEC challenge.

I think the point was that while scheduling 1 or even better 2 tough road games in non-conference is good, 3 is starting to be a bit tough. Though with our team next year I hope we schedule some tough early season games.

I hope we do get a tough road game for the SEC challenge. Auburn at home this year was disappointing.

Selfishly I would like to see them take another crack at the series with the Goofers. We always get a good (and vocal) Cyclone turnout at the barn.

Yes!!!! Finally Clones play in CBE Classic. Typically they have one home team (Mizzou, KU, K-State, WSU), 1-2 high mid major and 1-2 BCS teams play in the CBE. I have been waiting for them to call up Iowa State to play as "home team".

Sounds like my Thanksgiving plan is set for next year. Definitely not going anywhere and making a trip to Sprint Center after work :)

I think KU plays at Maui in 2015 and at Disney in 2014. I am hoping for Clones to be invited to Maui in 2016.

I'm really curious about this marquee opponent for next year...
I would kill for a home and home with Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan St, Duke, Syracuse, North Carolina, or Louisville.


Yes, make one of these happen, that's the shortest path to take to get into the club.

I love all the chances to see ISU when actually living in Big 12 territory. Ames still close, plus KU, KSU, OU, OSU and the Sprint Center.

Agree but I would rather go to Atlantis than to Maui.

Having it on ESPN would help but I kind of like it on NBC Sports. It kind of adds to the uniqueness and appeal of it.

Maui also has Chaminade who is always a pain.

Oh good, a hipster tournament.... I suppose they serve PBR cans at all the games too. Although, I'm sure that will be discontinued once it's on ESPN. It'll become too mainstream.

Maryland is going to the Big 10 next year so if we beat them that win will basically be the same as a win over a top 10 team because the Big 10 is just so awesome. (Assuming Maryland is in this tournament)
