All three could be the best on any particular game. Ask me which player I'd miss the most if he couldn't play? Gilbert.
Jefferson says they're flying home tomorrow (Thanksgiving) evening.
Thank ESPN for that.
ACC (ESPN)/SEC (ESPN) Challenge takes up the majority of the slate that night.

Dayton could say the same thing about our game. It's OK to say that Auburn was the best team in the tournament. They won the damn thing.
Fair enough. I’m just a lifelong, diehard Cyclone fan, so we just have different perspectives. That’s OK.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel it would be easier to teach/improve defense on an offensively minded player than it is to teach/improve offense on a defensively minded player.
Oh yeah, I’d say that’s true for sure.
Teaching what to do might not be that different, but being able to do the skill things needed on offense probably isn’t changing much in-season.
In regards to our bigs this year, they will get better quickly in the defensive end. But I don’t think any of these guys have the lateral quickness that Rob or Ward had, at least I don’t think they do. It doesn’t mean they are bad on D, it just might limit how much switching they do.
Rob and Ward’s ability to switch and stay in front of guards let TJ do a ton of things defensively. Not sure he’ll want to do as much switching and get Jackson matched with guards too much.
Because this is CF, I’ll take a moment to worry about this after a strong tournament showing.
Is this the same shoulder he had surgery on? It’s clearly bothering him. He has taken few 3s and they are all short. As is his free throws.
If he’s unable to be a threat from deep, he’ll kind of be back to freshman Lipsey. Which is still good, but might limit us some.
Ah, so I guess I'm not a lifelong diehard Cyclone fan. Whatever.
Absolutely. While it may look like a harmless, sportsmanlike gesture, the reality is he's letting the opposing coaching staff know that he could crush their pathetic bird arms with just a little bit more pressure.
Not really it is all about ESPN sucking every last dollar from passionate fan bases. ISU is on + and NwArk is on one of the main espns. (Made up example but some of our games were on plus last yr while some **** games were on espn.
