*** Official #9 Kansas vs #2 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

What 3 games is Houston losing???
I'm not sold on Arizona to lose only 3 games though.

Tech, Kboo, Us.

Last night I was looking at various rosters and discovered that Darlinstone Dubar is playing for Tennessee and scored 12 in their win over Texas last weekend. That was more fun than stumbling on ZRF.

Completely unrelated ……but yes it was announced he was picked up this offseason after killing it at Hofstra. Happy for him.

I don't think we've had many transfers from P5 programs.

Gabe (MN) and IZB (PSU) as you noted

Enaruna and CEO from KU!

That's all I think.

Does Tre King count as a Georgetown transfer if he didn't play there?

 

[Rural]

The transfers from Charlotte and Seattle and St. Marys. are doing work.

I expect to hear a GOOD amount of Cyclone talk on the CBS College Basketball Podcast this morning, Enjoy!

Michigan State was the last program in my mind to go from moderate historical success under Judd Heathcote to near blue blood status for a period of time under Tom Izzo.

Is that the model for TJ and ISU?

 

[FinalFourCy]

And we weren't looking for a guard. We did look at his teammate William Kyle III, though. He's coming off the bench for UCLA playing spare minutes.

I wonder if the fit is better this offseason, if he’s available.

He can look at Ward and see he’d get more minutes here than UCLA if playing the 3rd big role. The staff will know, given the SDSU connections

 

[trajanJ]

Cyclones look amazing. As of right now TJ should be coach of the year.

 

[moneyball]

Does anyone know what KU was on Kenpom before Wednesday? They're 7 overall now. I thought they were like 10th prior.

Did they go up after losing in Ames?

They were 7th before the game too.

 

[dafarmer]

What is amazing is that ISU played a good game against KU and still handled them. A great played game would have blown Bill’s Toupe to the roof. Time for the legend of Toupe Bill!

 

[rosshm16]

I think we gifted them perhaps up to 10 points in transition from the unforced turnovers.

Still won by 17!

ZRF can be found over at the Houston Cougar basketball forum Coogfans.com. He is a frequent poster and claims himself as a representative of the Iowa State Basketball fan base .

Every once in a while, I’ll scan other forums to see what news I can find on other teams. Last night I stumbled upon him and had a good laugh.

ZRF still thinks we have a lot of weaknesses... Guy just is brutal

 

[t-noah]

Respectfully, anything Coach Self says in regards to money can be trusted as much as about anyone.

He is sort of used to having it his way, bending the rules or not.

Oh yeah, a true cross section of the CF community!

So much so that he's apparently been perma-banned.

lol, he played a season high 27 minutes (previous was 17) and scored 12 points (scoreless last 3 games) in their drubbing of the Hoks tonight

the other thing is that he's now gone 1-11 from the FT line since thanksgiving. I really REALLY like that our bigs make their FTs this year

 

[rosshm16]

Kyle is shooting 30.8% on free throws on the year, oof!

He has great energy/activity/athleticism but if we're going to commit a chunk of ISU's limited $$$ to a transfer big, hope we explore our options there.

 

[Acer88]

Kyle’s free throw shooting technique has not improved from last year and is still incredibly ugly.
