    Backyard Basketball Courts

    Has anyone had a concrete basketball court installed recently? What dimensions would you recommend? What finish? Smooth, broom? Other? Also, what is a reasonable cost for site prep, materials and labor? The two ball park estimates I received for a 31'x26' four inch thick slab ranged from...

    Where is the best place to park if you don't have a parking pass? Can you park on campus and take CyRide like you can for football games?

    ISU Opens -1 vs. Texas

    Per Vegas Insider, ISU opened as a 1 point favorite. http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-basketball/matchups/ This is making me even more nervous for this game.

    Braketology - 1/19/15

    Iowa St. is a 3 seed in Lunardi's latest bracketology. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology/_/iteration/203 That bracket isn't too bad with Villanova and Arizona as the 1 and 2 seeds. A potential matchup vs UNI would be fun too.

    Big 12 Tournament Tickets

    When do Big 12 Tournament tickets go on sale to the general public? Is there much of a chance to get decent seats directly from the Sprint Center, or is your best bet to purchase them through other channels (Craigslist, Stubhub, etc.) from season ticket holders of other Big 12 Schools?

    #12 Kansas @ #21 Baylor

    I just saw that Vegas has Baylor favored by -2. I believe KenPom has Baylor as the favorite as well. I haven't seen Baylor play much this year, but will be very interested to see how they look vs. KU tonight.

    Starting 5

    Did anyone else notice that during the middle of the second half when Morris, Long, Thomas, Niang, and McKay were in together that the offense seemed to be running pretty smooth? It's hard to keep Hogue out of the starting lineup, but he would be a huge energy guy off the bench like McGee was a...

    CBS Top 25 and 1

    I agree with Maryland moving into the top 25, but dropping ISU all the way out was a bit knee-jerkish if you ask me. Gary Parrish must not have watched the game last night. http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/rankings/top25

    ISU vs. UNC - Opens as Pick'em

    It looks like ISU vs. UNC has opened as a pick'em. I hate to even say this, but I wonder what the line would have been if Georges was in action?

    Ejim's Status for BYU?

    A friend at work said that on TV Ejim was in pain and grimacing towards the end of the Michigan game. I was at Hilton and didn't pick that up at all. Is there any word on how many minutes Ejim is expected to play vs. BYU?

    Exterior House Painting Contractors

    I received a couple quotes to have my house painted back in the spring that I thought were a bit high. The house is a 2,300 sq ft story and a half walk out with the main floor being 1700 sq ft and the second story being 600 sq ft. The front of the house is 80% brick/stone so most of the...
