And this is a good post. In the grand scheme it means nothing outside of maybe shoring some things up before conference starts. But it's the personal side of this that makes it special, and I have no doubt TJ will have the guys ready.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I'd love to win this game for a million different reasons. Stay undefeated, beat our rival who has owned us for years, etc. But ultimately this year has just been awesome and will continue to be awesome if they continue to play this way.

Any thoughts on how loud it will get in Cyclone Alley if Joeblow has an airball?

Conditt HAS to stay out of foul trouble...I do not trust Rob Jones to do anything to stop anyone. I'd like us to also try and get to the foul line tonight. Still get your open looks for 3's but if you can get the Hawks in foul trouble early, that sets up well

I just can't hate Bohannon. He's not good enough to hate. He just tries way, way too hard. Just comes off as wanting to be hated but not being good enough to deserve it.

Yup. My hate for him is nowhere close to what it was for someone like Aaron White. Bohannon is more like a Woodbury-style hatred

IMO this game will all boil down to how we attack Iowa's zone. I believe this team is disciplined enough to work the ball and force Iowa to defend but if we settle for 3's we are going to be in for a long night. I like the ability of our guards to beat Iowa off the dribble and open up those passing lanes.

The whole key to this game will be limiting the damage the Murray twins do.

I'm not worried at all about our backcourt. Bohannon can't even get a shot off against athletic guards and Conor barely plays anymore. Gabe will completely shut him down.

Joe T vs Hunter will be a good matchup. Hunter should be able to frustrate him and he's not much of a shooting threat.

Patrick will be a mismatch on Brockingon, can't let him get by for easy layups, the key will be making him force his patented runners in the lane which have about a 10% chance of success.

Murray will be a handful, I think he's a better all around player than Garza or Weiskamp was. He'll get his 20 but we need to make him inefficient. This isn't a game I see Enaruna playing much as I think he gets manhandled early and benched. I think we'll see Kunc on him most of the game.

Rebraca does a bunch of little things average, and nothing really well. I think Conditt shuts him down also.

Perkins and Uhlis will probably come off the bench and hold Gabe and Brockington in check most of the night, but neither are shooting threats.

If our defense shows up and we can frustrate the Murray's into taking bad shots we win. Iowa is really bad defensively and I think we are a better rebounding team.

Cyclones win 70-64.

Perkins has been playing well for them.

One of many things I love about that clip is the look on the faces of the other four - almost like they have seen this before with that look of resignation.

Pay defense like we have been
Cause 12+ turnovers on them
Hit at least 6 threes
Limited issues with breaking their press
Hold Murray twins in check
Do NOT let JorBo go off

Those are the keys. We do well (not perfect) in those areas and we win.

Crowd will play a big part...hope the new players for us can feed off of us!

Looking forward to seeing this one in Hilton. As Johnny liked to say, “ It’s gonna be a dinger”.

This is what makes him so hate-able. If he was any good I'd respect the trash talk, but he's nowhere good enough for his level of cockiness.

Ok, this seems to be working so.....

Pretty sure this is where our undefeated streak ends, but if we win holy ****.


Now, I remember towards the end of last year I made a post about what I want from the program. One of the big points is that mediocre programs don't win in Hilton anymore. The Iowa Hawkeyes are the definition of a mediocre college basketball program. Let's remind them of that today

I do trust in him to get 5 fouls if we need him to.

I know he's not very skilled offensively right now, but he is a big body who's not afraid to mix it up in the lane if he needs to. That can go a long ways in certain games.

I really hope this is a good game like last nights ladies game. Back and forth all game, great athletes, close game. Murray is an athletic freak and is fun to watch. This ISU team and their miraculous turnaround has been awesome to watch this season.

I would also be okay with just destroying them too...but I don't think that'll happen. Just got to play stellar defense and force them to turn the ball over. We've done a great job at that all year long and this will be our biggest challenge, as Iowa takes care of the ball pretty well.
