Thanks Rulzzz!

GO CYCLONES!!!

Wild guess, ISU 83 - VCU 71

Should be an interesting and telling tournament with some very good teams. How will the Clones do, away from home, neutral site, stiff competition?

Torvik has Iowa State as a 6.2-point favorite (69-62).

75% win expectation

I’m cooking up so much food and serving it with wine to intentionally knock everybody out so I can watch this game in a quite house at 2:30 my time.

If I were inclined to bet, I would be all over 6 pts!

Iowa State has feasted in tournaments during Feast Week since 2011-12. The Cyclones have participated in 10 Thanksgiving-adjacent tournaments in that span, making it to seven title games and winning four (NIT Season Tip Off - 2021, Puerto Rico Tip-Off - 2017, Emerald Coast Classic - 2015, South Padre Island Invitational - 2011) while accumulating a 17-8 record.

• Iowa State and VCU will meet for the third time on Thursday afternoon, with both previous matchups coming as part of early season tournaments.
  • VCU won the first matchup in El Paso in 1993, while Iowa State won the following season (1994) in Hawaii, 66-59.

VCU coach was the coach of UMBC when they were a 16 seed and at the time were the first to beat a 1 seed when they beat Virginia.

Had it all ready to go and got into watching something else and lost track of time. Sorry.

This will be exactly what ISU needs then.

Hopefully they can pull it off.

Won't be any 26-4 starts today.

I knew we had done well in these tourneys but those numbers blew me away.
