We let a big one slip away against Baylor. The men need to regroup and take care of business today. Put up points fast and furious, play a full 40 minutes, and no mental let downs. I have faith, and Hilton shall be rocking! Go Cyclones!!!

Here is Texas basketball forum. Sounds like they have very poor guards. Monte and Naz should clean up.

Oh so sweet. Bad ass Cyclones just bumped up to #5 defense efficiency. I'll take that.

Should be interesting to see how the team plays - do they play 40 minutes or do they regress and only play part of a game and struggle. If they come out and play hard and win comfortably then maybe they have turned a corner - if they come out with an effort like they did against TT then maybe not.

Look for a good effort tonight and hope this isn't the night Texas figures out how to play.

No Felix, Lammert and Ibeh, seems like UT had those guys for a decade.

Felix graduated? That guy was Perry Ellis before Perry Ellis.

I haven't watched Texas play much other than few mins. Do they have much size?

From what I can tell and basing from what Shaka has done in the past. They like to play like us when we run 4 guards. They get after it defensively and run and press.

If they play like that against us I'd like to think that we have the edge to win but not sure on covering.

One less guard for Shaka's Havoc.

@JonRothstien Texas guard Kendal Yancy (ankle) will not play today against Iowa State, per Shaka Smart.

83-70 good guys. We come out on fire and stay that way.

Yancy seemed to have some kind of super power inspired by playing the Cyclones. That's very good news.

Assuming the Cyclones keep up this awesome defensive effort I'm expecting Texas to produce a much lower average score.

73 - 58 Good guys.

Gonna be a tough game and hopefully ISU can pull it out.

Glad I get to watch it as I couldn't see the Baylor game.

Thanks Rulzzz. A little nervous about this one, we seem to play harder against good and bad teams, but these middle of the road ones give us trouble.

Let's welcome Cameron to Ames with a win Cyclones!

They have a stud freshman big guy Jarrett Allen. 6'10 McDonald's AA
