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!

It's never quite as hostile at Hilton before the New Year and conference play starts. I don't know what experiences you've had in the past but I think the non-conference crowds have been the best I've been a part of since I've been going. Sorry but you're going to have to be disappointed because people aren't going to be going nuts for a defensive stop if we are still up 20 after the other team has scored a couple times.

We hold a two point haltime lead after a sluggish start by both teams. We start the second half on a big run. It is between 15-20 most of the second half until the end when we give up easy buckets and win by 11.

Does anyone know how to get one of those "Please excuse YOUR NAME HERE for the fact that he/she didn't get any work done today because of severe Hilton Magicitis. Sincerely, Dr. Fred Swagberg."

Thanks in advance.

Way up there
The ISU/Okie St games the last 3 years have to be one of the most underrated matchups in the country. Seems like it always comes down the last minute, often last shot of the game.

Under Hoiberg we've played OSU 7 times:
- 3 have gone to OT (including 5 OT periods)
- 3 have been decided by 3 or fewer points in regulation
- We blew them out in Hilton in 2013.

ISU 87 OSU 85

Naz hits a 3 at the buzzer to win it.

I'm dead serious.

I hope not--would like something more like where ISU wins going away.

I'd like to sleep tonight.
