*** Official #5 Marquette vs #6 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[cayin]

My ESPN plus say I can’t get the game in my area. I’m in Norwalk. WTF?

now it works, I guess I tried to log in to early

 

[RezClone]

Wait, this game is only on ESPN+? No freaking way

I can always find not so legal websites to watch it on but it's still stupid that the marquee matchup of the week probably isn't on regular TV.

Why...?

There are no "must win" games for seeding in Dec.

Being a 1 or 2 seed will depend 100% on our Big12 record. We can beat Marquette & Iowa, but if we end up 6th in Big12 standings- we'd be lucky to be a 4 seed in March.

Conversely, we could lose to Marquette and Iowa, but if we finish top 3 in Big12- we'll get a 1 or 2 seed in the dance.

If we do not beat any quality non con foes, the committee will punish us in some way, they did last year. And this year the Big 12 is not doing as well in the non con so that may hurt the metrics in the long run as well.

Left the bar to come home and watch this one. Go Cyclones!

did you not pay attention to what the selection committee said earlier this year? they scoffed at our conference schedule because we didn't play anyone nonconference... meaning we didn't have any good wins nonconference.

Radio Night for me.

Just tuning in - white-out looks good! Well done.

Lost the tip.

Just shoot it Milan

 

[FerShizzle]

Offense is too hesitant.

Nvm

 

[cstrunk]

Offense is too hesitant.

Curtis Jones fixed that!

 

[CycloneJoe6]

Man do I love me some Curtis Jones

 

[cayin]

the balls on Jones. Fresh off the bench and drains long 3. Wow.

 

[Nor'MidWester]

Wish the olds on the sides would stand up more. Started the game sitting down. C'mon family get up!
Nice coupla threes

 

[madguy30]

Flat AF

I don't think they're flat. A little tight maybe.

This will be a tough game.

Seemed to be lacking energy. Some made baskets fixes that.
