    Nuggets sign Curtis Jones

    Great opportunity for Curtis. Maybe not as a rookie, but I believe that with his elite scoring skills, Curtis can eventually be a rotation player in the NBA.

    Niang Traded to Celtics

    Quin Snyder saved Georges career by giving him a chance to earn rotation minutes in Utah. At that point, Georges was behind Abdel Nader as an NBA prospect, and far behind Monte Morris. Now, Nader has been out of the league for years and Monte got injured and fell off, but Georges stayed healthy...

    Niang Traded to Celtics

    If Niang plays, he should become the first Cyclone with 1,000 threes in the NBA. He could also move up to third all-time in NBA points behind Horny & Hali.

    NBA: *** 2024 NBA thread ***

    I didn't watch any of games 5 or 6. After the fix-job in game 4, I basically gave up on the series. At the last minute I decided to watch game 7 but only ended up watching six minutes or so. The NBA is the worst. I would quit it except for Hali and Georges. My thoughts are with Tyrese for a...

    Tyrese

    Hornacek's NBA career is very underrated. To paraphrase Bill James, players that do many things well are often underrated, while specialists are often overrated. Hornacek was the third best player on many teams that won a lot of games and made it to multiple conference finals and finals. Not to...

    Kelsey Joens in Portal

    Best of luck to Kelsey. She will always be a Cyclone in our hearts.

    Kelsey Joens in Portal

    I hope Kelsey finds joy and success at her next stop. She is one of my favorite Cyclones, and the team performed better when she was playing more minutes towards the end of the season. I think I understand why she's leaving, but she will definitely be missed on the floor next year.

    Why your town sucks #5: Marshalltown

    Did anyone mention Cap Anson? He was better than Wahoo Sam Crawford.

    WBB: Jada Williams to ISU

    Great news. The Cyclones will have a lot of experienced talent on next year's team, which should result in more consistent play and a much better record against good teams.

    Reese's Peanut Butter Cups vs. Reese's Eggs

    The eggs are much better because they have proportionally more peanut butter compared to chocolate.

    Lily Hansford Enters The Tranfer Portal

    Maggie Espenmiller-McGraw went to Montana and shot to 43% from three after struggling her last year at ISU. I hope Lily has a similar turnaround wherever she lands.

    Appreciation thread for the Women

    Other than Hansford, the Cyclones shot 37% from three which is good. Brown and AJ didn't shoot as well as last year, but I still think they are good shooters. I think turnovers, defense and the lack of a backup point guard were the biggest issues with this year's team.

    ***Official 2025 NCAA Tournament Thread***

    Clemson is probably the most undeserving #5 seed of all time. ACC really sucks.

    ***WBB: (11) Princeton vs. (11) Iowa State (Wed, 6:00)***

    Yes, and I've never seen a game with so many kicked ball violations.

    ***WBB: (11) Princeton vs. (11) Iowa State (Wed, 6:00)***

    Emily had a weird game. Got absolutely snuffed three times, four turnovers, didn't shoot well including missing a breakaway layup. But she really showed up in the second half with some huge plays and was a bit of a stat stuffer: 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocked shots. When we fell...
