If only Drake wasn't terrible.

Fred pulls a full Popovich tonight and starts Custer, Long, Nader, Hogue and Edozie, with Thomas, the Greek and SDW coming off the bench. We still almost win.

There is no need to talk about either school..... The University of Notre Dame! That is the program that both of you hillbilly schools need to copy!

Found an AP article previewing the game, this was in the comments, lol'd.

I like the troll job in that post. If he was serious that would be even funnier since both teams have beaten Notre Dame in the last 2 years.

Notre Dame? Hell... even Iowa has a better basketball program then Notre Dame. Ha!

 

[CyTwins]

No. No. No.

IOWA IS NOT RANKED. That whole "AP: 29 (RV)" is the dumbest thing I've seen all day.

Plus nobody cares about KenPom outside of Iowa City

Thanks @cmjh10 LET's Kick some Smackeye *** tonight.. Come together as a team and go Nuts.

CYCLONES

This would be a great win for the scum at EIU. Not a bad loss for us. I think the only thing we need to watch very closely is Niang's fouls. He hasn't had a problem to date this year. You know their creepy coach will have Whitey focused on drawing Niang fouls.

What is the over/under on technical fouls called on MadFran? For some reason I see that idiot losing his cool and getting ejected tonight. #angerisnottheanswer

Any guesses on who the officials will be?

Definitely Higgins, this is one of only a few games going on tonight. David Hall is another good possibility.

they did this exact same thing last year. tried to drive the lane to draw fouls and we did not contest on many of those, just allowed them the chance at the bucket knowing we could get it back at the other end. they did the opposite, contesting all of our chances in the paint, and sent us to the line a lot. this was an obvious strategy we employed. However following the loss, Iowa fans naturally took the foul disparity as "the refs screwed us" completely overlooking the obvious and responding irrationally.

To the monitor!

If anyone falls for an Aaron White pump fake, I hope Fred benches them.

 

[CloneJob]

Also, key for Houge to have great night.

Blum approves.
Brent Blum ‏@brentblum 2m2 minutes ago Officials tonight for Iowa State-Iowa: Whitehead, Eades, Sanzere. A B+ on the Blum scale. Sanzere and Eades did last year's Cy-Hawk game.

 

[CRcyclone6]

Thomas and Naz must have monster nights from behind the arc for ISU to get the W. They need to play as a team and find a way to win. Hogue has to get out of his slump. I hope the guys are focused and ready to play. (Especially Thomas, really big chance for him to break out and have a massive game.)

Go Cyclones!

MASSIVE!!

 

[cyclones12321]

Ready for this game. Really wish we had bdj and mckay though

Would be nice, but much happier we should have them against the likes of KU/KSU/OU and others in the Big 12.

If BDJ had to screw up, better he did it in the non-conference season.
