Most concerning things to start the season, in terms of what you'd prefer to see (but arent) are Omaha getting some offense going and C Jones. I'd probably put Wards foul trouble up there as well.

The more attention MM, lipsey and Gilbert demand (I think they will demand a lot) the more opportunity this line of bigs will have.
You can tell this is a bit of a step up in competition but still taking care of business in a somewhat haphazard way
Tamin is more explosive, Buckets' shot unguarable, Gilbert adds a dimension we didn't have, and our bigs have shown MASSIVE improvement. We are also more athletic, deeper, and with fewer holes teamwide.
I'm going to make a very bold prediction and say this will be the best Iowa State team since the Fizer/Tinsley team that probably should have won the National Title.
Barring injuries or something unforseen this team is, at worst, a 3 seed. Personally I think we will be a 2 with a possibility at a 1. Yes, we are THAT good.
He’s “our” guy from when we met him this summer at Georges Niang’s trivia night.
They had 5ish pts that were pretty fluke.
On offense I like the energy but a little out of control, good to see more guys off bench earlier.
yup, everything in that 1st paragraph was exactly what I was thinking. I thought Lipsey would be better, but he looks to have taken a big jump. I didn't expect our bigs to be this much better. Granted against poor teams so far, but the bigs are doing the right things on both ends. I was worried about the new guys buying in to the def, but that looks fine too.
Not as fun of a half to watch but a nice half for TJ to coach against.
<50% shooting, only 6 assists on 16 shots. 0-4 on 3's. Bengals got some easy looks. Still up by 19.
I would expect us to really lock down and put this away in the first 4-8 minutes of the 2nd half.

Another reason I'm confused as to why they chose today to honor Dedric. Save it for a conference game or Iowa where the place is full. He deserved better than a mention in front of 8000 people.
As a mostly NBA fan outside of ISU it was nice to see a rational 2 for 1 to end the half and cash both of them. I shake my head how infrequently college teams pull it off or even try.
I got goosebumpy watching the Willoughby montage at halftime.
Marijka improving, now we are firing on all cylinders. Get her a contract.
I switched to the good guys the year after he left but have become a fan just watching old highlights.
Hopefully a high quality video is put on YouTube.
