Until now we haven't had a game where we needed Man Man to drop 20. I think he's capable of it though. This would be a good night for it.

His ability to score has been underrated, I think he'll abuse Gessell off the drive tonight.

I want to see ISU start off with Georges running the show and spread the court and let him take Woodbury off the dribble the first couple positions. Get him in foul trouble and negate some of their size.

Hey Fred... I always knew you were a member of this site. #hoiball

I hope we just have one of those games where it feels like you can just kick the ball in the basket.
Like 15 threes kind of night and running up and down at a crazy pace.

What a week. I had been looking forward to seeing BDJ destroy Iowa all year, but unfortunately he can't keep from doing dumb ****. My excitement for this game has plummeted.

It Iowa City, BDJ is now a cult hero there.

They are renaming S. Johnson "S. Dejean-Joneson" for the day. In fairness to Iowa City Matt White would have gotten his azz kicked a long time ago if he lived in any popular off campus student area there.

No. The last gameday thread people started talking German in was the Maryland game. Put an end to this quick.

All posts in German must be deleted and the user posting them should be banned for the next 24 hours. If the Clones lose then the ban should be made permanent.

I'm less worried about this than I was before. Unless we are playing in March without both McKay and BDJ the comitee will most likely ignore or put little weight into this game if we lose since we were playing without 2 of our top players. I'm not sure how they look at it if we win, but no doubt it would go in our favor. That being said, I'll still be incredibly ****** if we lose.

I'd take an L tonight if it means we can sweep KU during conf play and Big 12 tourney. Conf games just mean more to me I guess.

Lack of confidence? Come on bro... this is freaking Hoiball you're talking about. Anyone remember what happened last year when the Clones lost Niang in the NCAA tournament a day before they played North Carolina?

ISU 85 - UNC 83

Monte will be a little more aggressive offensively, Naz gonna Naz, Thomas will let the ice run through his veins again, Edozie is going to get in there and pound on Dingleberry and White, and Nader will chip in some points and boards.

This isn't about 1 guy replacing BDJ for a game... this is a collective effort to replace BDJ's production by committee. This is where Hoiball shines...

That had something to with the fact we still had 2 All Americans and 1 Big 12 player of the year on our team, both of which were playing great basketball at the time. Georges only makes up for one of them. Hogue or Morris playing at the level Kane or Ejim played in that game would be what we need.
