    Former Iowa State MBB stars chasing basketball titles around the globe

    Jared Homan had the all-time European career. Every time you saw him, he was doing something like hosting a party on a yacht in the Mediterranean surrounded by 10 gorgeous, scantily clad women. The dude lived a legal version of The Wolf of Wall Street. Big, big time for a guy who Larry Eustachy...

    Dishon Jackson has entered the Transfer Portal

    Jackson did a lot of good things but we need a more athletic big. Someone who is more of a rim protector and can still guard a big away from the basket. This type of player is highly sought after and may be outside our budget but let’s see who TJ and staff can come up with. Another Hassan Ward...

    2025 MBB Coaching Carousel

    McCollum will want to bring Stirtz with him where ever he goes. His chance for immediate success goes way up. IMO Stirtz is as good as Braden Smith from Purdue, he was an honorable mention All-American. The challenge for Iowa is that a big name program is going to offer Stirtz a million or close...

    ***Official 2025 NCAA Tournament Thread***

    Yeah, this really sucks. The #1 seed playing a true road game against a good Purdue team is unfortunate. Then essentially another road game in the regional final. Seems like something that could only happen to a Big 12 team.

    Injuries - the concern…

    I haven’t read much of this thread but I have seen lots of posts on twitter suggesting that there may be more to shutting Keshon down besides injury. But I don’t understand that conjecture at all and haven’t seen a stitch of info to support it. The guy is an absolute warrior. Do people remember...

    Is this team tired? Does TJ need to ease up the rest of the way?

    No. It means shortening practices and giving a day off here and there to let the guys rest their bodies, recuperate from injuries, get a mental break. And if we do have a seemingly insurmountable lead then give some late game minutes to Watson, Nojus, whomever. Earlier in the season I think TJ...

    Is this team tired? Does TJ need to ease up the rest of the way?

    It isn’t taboo. This thread is doing just that from many angles. Across all the cyfan forums there is a small percentage of threads where we debate something as impactful as the mental and physical state of the men’s basketball team heading into the NCAA tournament. I enjoy the insights and...

    Is anyone into Yacht Rock?

    Seems a lot like Jimmy Buffett. What’s the difference between Yacht Rock and his music?

    Is this team tired? Does TJ need to ease up the rest of the way?

    We know how grueling TJ’s regimen is for his team starting with summer workouts. It’s allowed him to take patchwork teams to 3 straight tourneys including 2 Sweet 16s, with this year’s team ranked in the top 10 all season and seemingly poised to go even further. Unprecedented in the history of...

    Williams & Blum: The Big 12’s officiating problem, Iowa State No. 9 in first seeding

    My best HS buddy went to Marquette so I’m friends with a whole pack of MU grads and I’m on their group text every season. One of the basketball junkies in that group described Keshon as “pure naked aggression” during that game. I think he nailed it.

    33 Years Ago Today

    The uber Michigan fan Deace posing as an Iowa State fan to be the counter to Jon Miller was the biggest fraud in Des Moines sports TV and radio. So obvious and painful to watch. Then Deace veered off into this holier-than-thou Christian fanatic which I think in hindsight was mostly schtick...

    33 Years Ago Today

    I thought a guy named Todd Stevens ran Cyclone Illustrated and he wrote a lot of the content. I enjoyed that publication for many years.

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

    Hmm, every opponent thinks ISU is the best in the nation at trying to bump and restrict their ball handlers, trying to create turnovers and bad possessions. Cinci’s coach mentioned it in the post-game presser. That has been ISU’s identity since TJ took over 4 years ago.

    33 Years Ago Today

    I worked for the Sports Info dept my senior year and sat courtside at about the foul line for Alexander’s 2 FTs, across from the OSU bench. Still my favorite game of all time. Justus went off late in regulation and overtime to will us to victory.

    RECRUITING: Pleta on Iowa State: "I'm a winning guy."

    If you were from eastern Iowa at that time, not only did you have to watch Lawrence Welk, on Sunday mornings you had to listen to the Leo Greco Show on WMT radio. That was straight up cheese.

    Milan Rumors - Hand Injury

    Need Milan to heal and be 100% by the tournament. This is a national championship roster and we need to have all of our options available. I was at The Palace in March 2000. Despite Sparty’s home court advantage, the blarge and other calls that went against us in that game, I will go to my...

    Here’s one for ya…

    Smart move. I wouldn’t go near FSU right now. Even though Norvell got a big extension and had that 13-0 season before getting walloped by UGA, he’s got a dead man walking vibe right now. Kind of like McDermott his last couple years here. Then you throw in the repressive ACC TV deal and that...

    Athlete's perspective on coming to Ames for a tough Big 12 basketball game

    Love that he recorded the final segment with his girl in bed in the background. Top notch. His BYU rivals will be jealous because that’s not allowed.

    TJ and staff put on a clinic

    If I remember right, Fred gave some junior coaching position to a former Cyclone (Keith “Lefty” Moore I think), and the guy went to a couple AAU tourneys outside of the designated recruiting periods to watch Jok. To Fred’s credit I think he self-reported and cut the coach loose. Fred stopped...
