*** Official UAB vs #9 IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

[CYdways432]

Didn't get to Louisville till 2:10 and was up at 6:30. Is it game time yet?

 

[Cycl1]

UAB must be destroyed.

 

[CyFan61]

Survive and advance. There are no style points in the tournament. With that said, my nerves could use a good, comfortable lead throughout.

Agree, I'll take a 1 point win. Don't need anything more than that. Of course the subsequent "Wheels falling off" threads would annoy me tomorrow but it's all about getting that W. And staying healthy I suppose. So I guess there are two things to care about.

Right coach. Right players. Right guy starting the game thread. W.

Is it socially exceptional to start drinking yet?

1/2 day vacation to watch the Cyclones! Go State!

Just win!

I think this one is going to be tight- seems like it has been months since we had a comfortable win.

Its been months since we've played a team of this caliber. There is nothing about this game that says upset. So why the hell am I so nervous!

Texas Tech. That's why. This team has shown the ability to lay an egg, not once, but a couple times. However WTS, I think the staff and team have worked thru that and this team is focused. Teams who are usually upset early in tourney are teams that have stumbled or are entering the tourney on a down note. That ain't this ISU team.

Let's get a win!! That's all we need. AND NO INJURIES!

Even the TTech loss was a true road game. Honestly, the analytical side of me says ISU will probably win by 20+ points. The matchups and intangibles are in our favor. But the Cyclone fan in me is waving the nutcup in the air screaming "Don't forget to wear this today!".

[Cycl1]

Already got mine approved.

Dang it I meant to say fans. I'll get it fixed.

[cyhiphopp]

[cyhiphopp]

All I want for my bday is the Clones to win!!! GO STATE!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! THANKS FOR NOT TRYING TO **** IT UP THIS TIME!

6-8 point win that feels even closer than that.
Blowouts and Madness rarely go together.

I agree; Georges was injured in the last moments of the game with a double-digit lead.
