Worth noting that, despite how difficult that game felt, Iowa State still covered the Vegas line (3.5, per ESPN) and Kenpom and Barttorvik's score projections (both had a 5 point ISU win). Road games are hard, and so far they've managed to step up to the plate for every one of those games that are possible trip-ups.

Recap from being at the game.

-UCFs Arena is a nice modern Arena
-Not a sellout but very full
-A TON of ISU representation (I’d guess 15-20%). A whole section behind the bench was probably 85% Clones.
-UCFs student section was very loud
-There was a VERY LOUD “Let’s go State” chant after Gilbert’s(May have been someone else) And One.
-The next timeout there was a loud cross court “Cyclone Power” chant

We had a great time, it isn’t a true ISU road game without some level of “heart attack clones” :D

Would definitely come back to another road game here. Go State!

The “let’s go state” chant was audible on tv

Gilbert is a very good player. But he needs to not try to make EVERY PLAY a spectacular one...just some of them. :)
Which ones would you like him to go for? And which ones should he back off? :)

Okay, my previous post was inaccurate and terrible.. I seem to be on a bad run lately. But don't let my bad analysis dissuade you from enjoying my quality, awesome posts. I am always here for you..As for myself, I will be back on the lower 40, scraping out a living....

FWIW, I heard the "Let's go State" chant on TV, and it was pretty awesome to hear.

Reminder for folks expecting this team to be the next best team ever. Tech that season was worse than this UCF team and Marcus Fizer isn't there to take over.

Any win is good. Any road win is fantastic.


I think that’s kind of what people are saying, this team while very good, doesn’t have the best player in the country to fall back on.
