With such a horrible reaction score to your own posts, I'd be hesitant about advising others on their posts if I were you. Also, if you disagree with a post, I'd encourage you to explain your disagreement instead of reflexively hitting the dumb button.

I was told it’s not appropriate to talk outside the cave about the “disease that shall not be named” effecting our basketball games. So I’m going to dumb the people who do it.

Take it to the cave Debbie downer.
Sorry
There are bunches of games being cancelled - mens and womens. Chicago State was almost cancelled. I doubt we make a whole season unscathed . That’s all I said.
If that is inappropriate shame on me.
Two teams ahead of us in the rankings, who might have lost, cancelled. I was hoping we would move up in the rankings prior to the Baylor game. Just stating the obvious.
If that is a “cave” worthy offense, I will stop stating the obvious.

I'd hate to be an odds maker for this game. With this being the first game after Christmas break, I think there's a good chance that one or both of these teams will be affected by COVID issues.


I don't know why. Can't talk of Baylor...but wasn't there a thread on how the entire ISU team is vaccinated? Is that not true.......or does it not matter?

Vaccination provides little protection against INFECTION with Omicron. With a booster it will help minimize or prevent symptoms. The player still would test positive and have to be held out of competition.

I was under the impression that the team isn’t tested if they got the jab… so why would they ever test unless they were bedridden.

Everyone's tired of the pandemic. Full Stop. Let's talk something positive - like the Cyclone BB team? Yeah?

Glad the game is a sellout - really looking forward to seeing how Baylor handles a truly hostile road game to start conference play. I know Scott Drew will have them ready - but my money is on the home team in this one.

Cyclone Alley will be full of students and the upper deck will be general public. In the past that's how it has typically worked for the bigger games.
Didn’t these students have to claim Baylor tickets before thanksgiving? That could limit the number of students there. New Year’s Day also hurts student turnout.

I was also wondering about the timing. Obviously, since the season has been so unexpectedly successful, perhaps if the option to purchase break games expired early in the season, then the number who opted in might be low.

It seems for years, when we played KU in Hilton it was during the break. The year we thumped them it was VERY loud with the official students gone. I would expect nothing less for this game. I'm really fortunate that a friend with mid-court, lower-level can't make the game so I'm able to take my senior in high school. So excited for this life-long memory to be created, and hopefully it's a win to top it off. SO EXCITED!

Honestly, that game in 2019 and one more time in 2020 is the only years I remember playing KU at home during break. In 2020 we would have lost to KU anywhere we played at anytime.

Yeah, a win over #1 is so rare it will be special.

Did I hear it right on the broadcast of the last game - if Baylor takes care of business with their last cupcake this game will be only the 4th time in the last 40 years that two teams 12-0 or better have faced each other? If true that is unbelievable.
