    Memphis is so desperate.

    If adding two more teams is worthwhile, why not see if Wahington State and Oregon State are willing to pay similarly and buy their way into a Power 4 conference? At least you wuld not be elevating a lower level school.

    Woodworkers Thread

    I started using a product called TWP sold at Fleet Farm stores after stripping my deck down to the wood about eight years ago. It is the best product I have found. It can rain in the morning and still be beading when I get home from work in the afternoon if the weather is humid. The first year...

    Casey’s Sucks

    Casey's slide seemed to start after the Canadian company takeover bid perhaps five or six years ago. I guess they don't want any other companies finding them an attractive merger partner again. Nice work on that part, unfortunately Casey's is not attractive to customers either anymore. On...

    Help: I’m going to be a father

    Congratulations. Parenting is largely on the job training. Best advice we ever received was, "if you love them, kids are really pretty tuff to screw up." p.s. Some days it will be really hard to love them like they need...do it anyway. It is most important that you do so on those kind of days

    Mason Williams commits to ISU

    Lots to like in hishighlight tape. His first step off the dribble looks good against that level of competition, and I hope it is still good at the this level. I would also have him work on adding a tear drop shot at the rim to use against rangy shot blockers as there was no indication of one in...

    Dishon Jackson has entered the Transfer Portal

    I think that Dishon was brought in to be a force against guys big men like Hunter Dickinson. However, the conference seems to be moving to quicker more agile big men. I also think (actually kind of hope) that we are going to look more European in our style of offense in a couple of years...

    Disappointing season

    In spite of iy all, there are about 300 other division 1 teams that would have traded places with us.

    2025 MBB Coaching Carousel

    Cronin certainly seem whinney enough to be a coach at Iowa, and I think he is wearing out his welcome at UCLA. If he took a midwest job like Iowa or kNU next, at least he would not be flying cross country.

    ***WBB: (11) Iowa State vs. (6) Michigan (Fri., 10:30 a.m. CT)***

    All of the teams in the conference above us were essentially filled out with MUCH OLDER players. With a little luck, ISU becomes that kind of team the next two years. I do agree, we are less athletic than than many teams that we played and need an upgrade there. In lieu of that, we will need...

    Macari Moore decommits

    I am hoping that Freshman recruiting starts to mean something again as the Super Senior year(s) finally come to an end for so many players this year and next. The SEC looks so good currently because of all of their "mature" teams. Of course, a first year college freshman is going to struggle...

    2025 Transfer Options

    I am hoping Toure' will be the next great Cyclone point guard. I believe he was a very under the radar recruit that can tutor a year under Lipsey, then help our offense evolve towards the European ball movement style that BYU is also developing. By the way, I think we saw the new Big XII Kansas...

    2025 Transfer Options

    Much like Omaha last year. Nojus was getting beat or out of position on defense in the limited play he has had in the Big XII. That as much as playing behind great guards has limited his time on the court. JT Rock, on the other hand, has shown improvement in getting to spots and being in...

    *** Official #10 IOWA STATE vs Kansas State Game(Day) Thread ***

    Looks like KSU was able to buy players for this year, but were pretty often unable to buy a bucket from them when needed. They ended up with a group of guys that never jelled into a team, outside of a few games. Too bad one of those happened against us.

    Always feels good to beat Tang and his Lavender Kitties

    If I had one wish...

    I hope Addy gets stronger in the off season so that she can overpower the teams and players tat frustrate her with physical play. I hope the whole team gets better at free throws so that we can have that as an advantage again. I too want Jackson and Hare to have healthy careers the rest of the...

    ***WBB 24-25 Record Watch***

    I Agree, a quick transfer point guard is a priority. Kenzie being out forced us to go inside more than expected, and added to the isolation (hero ball) developments. It should help that next year the grad heavy teams give way to our gals being one of the most experienced squads in the...

    Twister Sister Summary - Scorers Step Up in Win Over Cincy

    I agree that the ball movement was the best we have seen all season. This needs to continue the rest of the year. The two three zone worked well tonight. I thought that the guards seemed to get sucked down too low into the lane at times when the ball went to the corner, which allowed some open...

    Twister Sister Summary - Two on Five Doesn't Win Ballgames

    Wilson reminds me a bit of Joe Toussant during his time at Iowa... frantic and sped up play. Huggins got that fixed, but I am not sure Wilson will become a Big XII caliber point guard. Hopefully, I am wrong. I feel better when Jackson is running the point, and wish we had two or three other...

    **** WBB: Cyclones host #9 TCU - Game Thread - 3:00 pm FS1 ****

    I feel that our defensive foot speed is slooow. Our gals do not move well enough to guide, challenge, or change the direction of the opponent that they guard. This is extra challenging because Audi is not able to move or chase well either on defense. Add to that that we now have a very average...

    *** Official #3 IOWA STATE vs Arizona State Game(Day) Thread ***

    There was NO play on the ball. If there had been the ASU player might have had a chance at avoiding that flagrant upgrade. I do believe that the ASU player was trying to get in on the play, hesitated, and KG's slide move insured the need to have a foul called. Pursuing contact is part of...
