Great timeout there. Gilbert was clearly aware that he could gamble on the steal and risk the foul, and it paid off.

The start was everything Omaha could wish for as we came out lackadaisical and they came out hot.

Guys put a ******* cork in that in the last 8-10 minutes

This will happen against some bottom B12 teams, especially with a #3 tacked on our name.

he was 3rd team all conference in the MVC last year. he is a winner and a leader.
He’s everything I thought he’d be. Just a really, really solid all-around basketball player. Does every single thing at a high level.

he is a more physical rebounder and defender than i thought he would be. i was thinking he would be a little more like gabe and be an excellent defender using elite positioning and timing, but he is so much more physical than gabe was. him an chatfield are both built like football players.

Pretty amazing Cujo has such a good temperament too. His line is elite nationally, especially if you look at defense and efficiency stats. This team’s strength is 5-6 guys who could be “the man” playing for each other.

And ISU may drop a game on one of those days/nights.

Any team especially as the season goes on can have a day where everything just works.

on the road it may not be as easy to right the ship after a sloggish start against an upbeat underdog.

And it may not be a sloggish start.

ISU might still play well and hard, etc. and the ball just doesn't go down for them.

Omaha's defense seems to be pretty good and I was wondering how they're 4-8 but some of their turnovers, etc. tells a different story.
