I’m so nervous I could puke everywhere.

I shouldn’t be though. A loss here isn’t the end of the world and this team has exceeded my expectations. But damn I want a chance at the title.

Thanks Rulzz!

Of all the games this season where we said, "might as well win this one too", this is one of those games.

It'd be a big one, but why not?

Iowa State 64 - 61 Houston

Thanks Rulzzz!! GO STATE!! Beat the coogs!!!

We can still share or win the Big XII title even if we lose...but we'll now have to win out and hope someone beats Houston along the way. Thanks Rulzzz!

I don't know how I feel about this one. Our defense is insane, and so is Houston's. This will be a lower scoring affair. Hopefully the few open looks we get we take advantage of, otherwise Houston will take this one. Winning tonight would be incredible and put us in the conversation for a 1 seed.

Rebound, Rebound, Rebound.

Don't miss layups/dunks! Make free throws like the WBB does!

 

[VeloClone]

Thanks, Rulzzz. Let's do this. The moment has rarely been too big for this team so it comes down to which team is better able to play their game and execute.

GO CYCLONES!!!

Stat I’ll be watching tonight: points off turnovers. I like ISU chances if they have 20+ points off turnovers

Open looks are the key.

This team has 4 very capable shooters (5 if you count Tre). If they have a good night, say, all of them are like 2 of 3 from deep- thats the recipe to win. Dont really expect it on the road, but thats why they play the game.

This team is scary good when they are hitting from 3.

Thinking Houston is going to pretty fired up for this one. Going to be a monumental task tonight.

Hopefully Houston took out all their anger on Texas. Go State!

 

[Cyforce]

Winning tonight lessens the chance of having to root for Kansas in the season finally so let's go!
