If you think this team is going to win a lot of games this year, you're high. Cross your fingers for .500.

This game has been full of Iowa State not being able to hit shots, and awful calls by the refs. (Not just against ISU. Both sides have been suspect)

I would like to remind everybody, that a loss at the beginning of the season is not the worst thing in the world. Talented teams can lose games early. It happens all the time.

no leadership on this team. scotty c has been terrible tonight. really bad defense. until someone takes charge of this team I don't see this team being very good. We have the talent, but there is no TEAM! Hope we can pull it together, but as far as this game goes....we're done.
I am thinking the same. No leaders.

time for the overreactions from the cry-baby fans.

everyone here does realize that the Fizer/Tinsley team lost at Drake as well, right?

Oh,well. Hyper, juvenile fans will overreact. Do as you will.
No over reaction. We look stinko against a weak team.

Drake drives and it's a foul. ISU drives and it's a foul. In both cases the foul is on ISU.

Game over. Not a smartly played game by the Cyclones.

Disappointed, but not worried. Early season road test against a motivated little brother, had trap written all over it (just like 1999). We're still finding ourselves. We'll be fine.

In fact, this game reminds me so much of the '99-00 game it's scary.

There is no leadership with this bunch. No team play at all.....they just look lost out there and seem to think it is still summer league.

This will be the first loss this year for a Big 12 team. Good job!

Someone needs to step up as THE PG or this is going to be a long, long season.

Oh another thing....Drake had a PG, we didn't. Actually Drake has two PG's and we have none. That is going to play a bigger role than I thought this year. Scotty C looks lost and is not the same player at the PG position.

Maybe if we hired a real basketball coach we would win games. I don't care what you all say. I wanted a coach. Not a player. I'll burn my season tickets. how about you teach rebounding and free throws? We won't win with him. And if you think we will. Then keep dreaming.

Please do. Cyclone Nation will be better without you.

99% of this thread is pathetic and embarrassing. Good god.
