*** Official IOWA STATE Vs Miami Game(Day) Thread ***

[helechopper]

We’ll, well, we’ll. If it isn’t the thread that was never meant to be, yet here we are.

Fantastic games last night with great play, bright lights and A+ announcers, now it’s finally our turn.

Cyclones by 6!

 

[CapnCy]

Keep the gravy train rolling. We can frustrate anyone into a loss.

Yep! New season! Same vibes as the preseason where we went out and just WON.

I have the day off so I can TAKE A NAP. Fell asleep during Texas Tech game and had to check score in the wee hours.

But, I won't fall asleep tonight. GO ISU!!

Sweet 16 after a 2 win season.



Call me greedy but I want more, a new E8 appearance would look nice on the banner in Hilton next season.

Because I’m a weirdo and flying from Dallas to Atlanta to Chicago, I have a short layover here in Atlanta.

I’ve seen a few dozen fans already. We thriving baby

 

[isucyfan]

I'll give my firstborn child for a victory tonight. I only have one other, so I can get us to the Final Four. Someone else will have to pitch in then.

If tonight doesn't work out I hope people keep this as perspective. What a ride over the past week and this group is legendary.

I am going to be 100% intolerant of any hot takes and hot threads after this game if we don’t come out on top. I’m not going to have one of the greatest seasons in ISU history tarnished by “why does Tristan Enaruna only play 12 minutes” threads.

What in the actual hell am I supposed to do between and 9 o'clock, keeping in mind drinking while on the job is frowned upon in my profession.

Do it anyway?

I was extremely nervous for LSU, but before Wisconsin and all this week there’s just more a sense of pride than nerves for me. Thank you coach and team for this incredible ride.

My 'why didn't ISU get Dana Altman or Jay Wright?!' thread is in my drafts.

Frowned upon or illegal? Major difference

 

[CoKane]

Using the same attitude i have the last 2 games. Expect this to be it and going into it with the mindset of enjoying one more game of this wild and impossible season.

That being said, we can absolutely win this game

Deandre Kane was 24 when he was at ISU. Close to 25 iirc.

I'm more leery of tonight in a guard's game and after last night's games.

Yeah I actually don’t have a feel on this one. Their guards are exceptional. The first ten minutes will be huge. If Miami gets comfortable in their transition game and blitzes us right out of the gate, that’s what I feel would doom us. If we can get through the first ten with the lead or keeping it close, it will be there to start to tighten the screws on defense as it goes along. Frustrating them in the first half is critical.

And Kane was playing for us, so it’s ok he was super old.
