With Shannon out this is a must win game if we want to compete in the top half of the conference.

Honestly not a fan of this. I would rather face them at full strength or close to it. If they're only dressing 7 or 8 players that's the only thing that will be talked about from this game.
Man, we gotta get off ESPNU. I have streaming access to all ESPN options EXCEPT ESPNU. Frustrating.
There are hundreds of college basketball games a week, no one will be talking about this game outside of Texas Tech and ISU to begin with.
I don't care if they have to roll out the cheerleaders as long as ISU wins.
If ISU can get one or two more after tonight during this stretch, the optics of tonight won't matter will it?
People only see our record and our brand sadly. There's no good reason Michigan State should be ranked above us, they have an objectively worse resume and got spanked by Baylor not long ago.
13-1 after a win over Tech gets noticed more than who we beat, how w beat them, who played, how we lost, who we lost to, etc..
We could have lost by 20 to Baylor or they could have made a full court desperation shot to win the game and it wouldn't have really affected perception, sad but true.
It's not that obscure of a game. I think it's the only top 25 match up tonight. It will get some attention. But no one will care come March so point taken.
Why has Iowa State seemingly been pretty immune to Covid issues? Don’t want to start a fight just genuinely curious. We seem to have escaped any issues throughout the entire pandemic. Are we doing something differently?
Sadly, it is probably just a matter of time.
I mean, the easy answer would be they're all fully vaccinated with boosters so they don't need to be tested without sympoms and are much less likely to have symptoms even if they do get an infection, but I don't know if that's the case with all the players.
At least as far as football success I “think” it was do to discipline and caring.
I suspect the same is true for BB.
The more it means to you, the more you take precautions. As hard as these guys play - I think they care - big time.
Just my opinion.
After last year I couldn't care less. Just win the games.
Last year we had to take like two weeks off in basketball right? But as far as football and this year’s team goes, I’d say it’s a combination of being vaccinated, being disciplined, and being a bit lucky.
I don’t blame you one bit. After looking it up we went on a hiatus from January 9th to January 25th. If I remember correctly it was nearly the whole team but I could be wrong.
