A LOT of tickets on Ticketmaster for this one....

I was given lower level tickets for free. To same I'm terrified for 2/3-3/4 full Hilton, on a must win game in January, is an understatement..

if they have a top scorer out, that is really really bad for them. They are not great offensively as it is, and we tend to choke the life out of teams (not named Baylor of course)

Won’t be as bad as Carver on Monday(?)

8:00 weeknight games are a problem for some people, so that’s probably why you’re seeing so many for sale.

It is going to be a battle. Hope they an pull it out.

I hope you are right. I've got a toddler, a full-time job and live 1 hour from Hilton. I guess to some it just means more

They are better offensively than you would think. They are 44th on KenPom. ISU is 133rd

Per CW, KenPom is not a good measure yet. Still incorporates data from last year for another couple weeks or something. Not saying your wrong necessarily, just food for thought.

Can anyone confirm this?

 

[LLCoolCY]

For those that are inclined ISU as of last night…



Go State win and it’d be nice if you cover comfortablably.

Pretty sure it is gone now.

IIRC Blum said that changeover date is like 1/20

Yeah, it's hard getting back to CR at 12:30-1am. Especially when it's -10F. And then get up at 6 for work.

My tix are for sale, cheap. I am bummed though, not just for missing game, but also the Amazing Sladek. Never been more scared for the safety of another human being, than watching that old SOB climb a stack of chairs. It's insane.

Kenpom is still factoring in last season isn't it?

 

[CoachHines3]

thats big for us

 

[cyfan92]

If we keep Tech from a hot 3 point shooting night. I REALLY like our chances with Shannon out

It can mean as much to people not there too.

 

[cytor]

Regardless of who plays for TTU, just go out there and impose your Cyclone will! It's the Hilton. Cyclones are a decent team. Now take it to them! Run over them!

I'm probably not going to make it tonight. But to be honest at your stage of life it's a lot easier to make it. I've got 3 kids, two of whom have their own basketball practices tonight, so if I go they need to miss their stuff which just isn't fair to them.

This feels like a big one. With all the momentum starting 0-2 in conference play with 2 home losses would really sting.

Shots should be easier to find but if the trend of not finishing continues it will be a really tough game to win.
