Cyclone Basketball Lineup Builder

PhiloCYphy said:
If you’re bored this offseason, a buddy of mine created a Cyclone basketball lineup builder game inspired by the 82-0 game that has been popular recently. Feel free to try it out and share some of the cool squads you made!

If nothing else, it is a good presentation of all of the past good players at ISU. Memories . . . . .

I either don't fully understand the game, am a victim of random opportunities of players available, or suck at roster construction. Plenty of "contenders" but evidently not the perfect team. I'll defer to Otz, I think he has built better rosters than I have and he doesn't have the luxury of choosing from some of our best :)
 
now this is a great example of coding no longer being the gatekeeper (AI) cool ideas outside of your brain and into the world. I'm bullish on AI
 
Neat concept.

Haven't gotten too far into it, but I notice the further back you go in roster-by-year, the less accurate it is.

Extreme example: One roll landed on 1977-78, and lists Ron Harris. His first season was 1980-81.

Deep NCAA run potential. Balanced, dangerous, and hard to game-plan against.

PGHercle Ivy
SGMarial Shayok
SFJeff Grayer
PFRoyce White
CDon Anderson

A gritty, hard-nosed Cyclone squad that earns every win the hard way. Jeff Grayer carries the offensive load at 18.6 per game while this team's identity is built on defense and toughness over flash. Hercle Ivy sets the tone from the point while Don Anderson provides the anchor down low — a classic complementary pairing that keeps the offense efficient even when the jumpers aren't falling. The cross-era chemistry is fascinating — players from completely different decades of Cyclone basketball forced to share a locker room, which would either create something magical or take half a season to click.

It looks to be completely AI-driven, rather than pulling from a roster + stats dataset. So it generally gets the right idea of players, especially more recent ones, but isn't necessarily giving 100% accurate info.

I keep doing pretty good until I got "Jeff Hoover" as my point guard. Or "Wayne Rhodes" at center. This is on the IQ mode. That last roll you better hope for a good year lol.

There are still a few of these that aren't right. Kantrail is a total unit, but center is not a good fit for him.

Fun little diversion!

Cross-generational lineup there.

I assume AI intends that to be Don Smith, not Anderson?
