Huh? We shot free throws poorly one game and were leading the Big 12 in free throw shooting until that game.

It's pretty simple: If Niang, BDJ and Monte are attacking the rim and getting to the line, we'll shoot a good percentage.

If Hogue and McKay are the only aggressors on offense, and combine for 25 free throws, we won't shoot a good percentage.

I would like Monte to be more aggressive. He started off the SC game aggressive and had our first 4 points, then he disappeared.

That's along the lines of what I was thinking...minus the 26 point game. Yikes.

I could just see him going off since Smart is no longer on the team. I've been really impressed with Hickey Jr. in the two games I've seen this year. I think those two could be a force in the Big 12. Not an elite force, but definitely a force I wouldn't want to let dominate the game.

I think it was a 3 OT game, and if I remember right, Nash was pretty much their offense for the last two. He seems like a different guy on the road though.

Here's what I love about Naz's three from last year:

1) Crowd quiets as Naz pulls up for the 3
2) Buzzer goes off just at the apex of the shot
3) The *THWUCK* sound as the ball goes in
4) Crowd explosion

I believe Gorgeous Georges will have one hell of a statement game tonight.

He is due, and he always steps it up in conference.

What are people's thoughts on the driving conditions tonight? 15-24 mph winds with gusts to 33 per weather.gov. Hopefully the blowing snow isn't too bad.
I drove from DM to Ames this morning. The roads were in great condition after Ankeny. I don't know what the official wind conditions were then but there was no impact.

I am not going to lie. I am extremely nervous about this game. EXTREMELY.

They've got a good team, but we have a better coach. I think it'll be ISU by single digits.

So excited, this will be my first trip to Hilton!!!!!!

Awesome!! Make sure you cheer loud, particularly when the Cyclones are on defense. Don't be afraid to cheer and yell on defense when the team needs a lift, even when others aren't. For example, after OSU has made two straight buckets and the Clones are on defense. That is when the team needs the crowd to make it tough for OSU to communicate the most, yet, sadly that is often when the crowd is at its most complacent.

Hilton's been a little more quiet and complacent these days. Can't put my finger on it, but the games just haven't been as "rowdy" this year. Hopefully that changes now that conference season is here. It's kind of shocking considering we have sell outs, but it's almost like the fans are expecting wins now and don't feel like they need to get involved.

Enjoy the game!

We're 19-1 at home following an away or neutral site loss in the last four years. Make that an even 20 tonight.
