    ***2023-24 Mens College Basketball Thread***

    People forget that Drake had a 10 point lead with 5 minutes left against a Miami team that made the Final Four. This Drake team would push a 5 seed again for sure.

    BYU tipoff changed to 8PM

    Against a team like BYU who can handle the ball and has multiple good 3 point shooters I’d like to see us play more straight up defense rather than extending with pressure and trapping like we do. This is the type of team, as seen in the first game, who can spread us out and kill us with open...

    Been watching non Big 12 basketball lately...

    This is giving too much credit to Iowa’s offense. If you pressure Sandfort and Dix on the perimeter and play physical with Krikke and Freeman inside then you more or less neuter their offense. You just don’t see physical and athletic pressure defenses in the B1G like you do in the Big 12. Btw...

    ***2023-24 Mens College Basketball Thread***

    Marquette might be cooked. Several of my best buddies are MU grads and I’ve been on their game text thread for years. Rumor is that Kolek might be done for the season with that oblique injury. If so, they will struggle to beat good teams the rest of the way even though they put up a hell of a...

    Offense is the concern with this team and I think the decision-making by Gilbert and Lipsey is the key for us offensively. Somehow they have to find the right balance of aggressively attacking and not forcing it and turning it over. Yesterday was a perfect example. Gilbert was solid in the first...

    *** Official Oklahoma vs #8 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    The Clones are so much better than they were when they opened conference play in Norman 2 months ago. I think they come out energized and get on top of OU in the first half like they did against WVU. Then it will be interesting to see if they can grab them by the throat and put them away in the...

    So how good is the Big 12 in Basketball this year?

    Big 12 had a good tourney last year but did not get a team in the Final 4. Need to get a team or two in this year to maintain our standing as clearly the toughest conference. A national champion would be nice.

    RECRUITING: Phoenix Gill set for visit Saturday, where Iowa State stands with him

    The irony for me is that Keshon Gilbert reminds me a ton of Kendall Gill. Same size and body type and very similar game. I thought that right away and even more so as Keshon has elevated his game.

    *** Official #6 IOWA STATE vs #2 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

    This. Both teams are so good defensively that when you work to get open looks you have to make. We’re at Houston this time but I think Gilbert and Jones are playing better and more consistently than the first game, and I think Lipsey is due for a break out game.

    ISU @ Houston/Big Monday

    Spot on. The last 4 years of Prohm created all kinds of record anomalies, including at Hilton. He had a 9-9 Big 12 season in 2019 and the rest was garbage.

    It was just another game today

    This is the wildest post I think I’ve ever seen on cyfan. And I mean only respect. Holy hell man, glad to see that you survived all that enough to watch today’s game then post. And all the best going forward with your health. Your story reminds me of one Billy Packer or another announcer shared...

    I don’t want to get ahead of ourselves, but Jess Settles said during today’s game that Iowa State can play its way to a 1 seed. Which is true. How awesome would that be. Would likely mean we won the regular season title and possibly the conference tourney as well.

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    Is this “Stats” guy a thing in SF media? He seems like a guy running a podcast out of his parent’s basement with friends and family as followers. Like half the media in Vegas for the Super Bowl.

    The KState kids do the thing where they alternate moving backing and forth. It’s pretty cool and has become their signature thing. So I have no issues with the juicy wiggle thing.

    Holy **** that’s a big win

    I don’t begrudge Hunter taking the money. He has zero chance of playing in the NBA and maybe not much of a career in Europe. This might be the most money he’ll ever make playing basketball. And the Clones have a far better player in Lipsey.

    Coach K gushes about TJ and ISU in interview

    This. Coach K started slow at Duke and was on the ropes after 2-3 years. There's a good ESPN show about it. No telling how he would have done at ISU. Plus, I would not want to have missed Johnny Freaking Orr at Iowa State. He’s integral to our culture. One of a kind.
