Yeah, I could hear the dog yelps all the way from Ames on that cold, winter eve.

So much anger. So much kicking.

ISU is 35th in the NCAA in 3PA/FGA with 40.5% of their shots coming from behind the arc. It's not where they were in previous years (18th at 41.6% and 8th at 43.8%), but it still could be described as living/dying by the three (which puts a little more luck into the equation than an offense reliant on 2PT FGs).

ISU also plays at the quickest tempo in the B12 and one of the quickest in the NCAA, which I rather like (and not only because it makes for better basketball viewing). When you're a good team like 2014 ISU is, it's beneficial to get as many possessions as possible.

Rumor is he's fine.

Always had to take the good with the bad with EJ. I still appreciate his accomplishments, though.

I had forgotten how much the commentators were one sided for ISU. Nevermind all the fouls that ISU got away with.

The natural inclination to root for the underdog (does that mean Fran will be on our side tonight?). In the aftermath of that, everyone pretty much ignored how the game was actually reffed to focus on that one call at the end of regulation.

I'm sorry did a person living in IOWA just laugh at us for having to still live in Kansas? Did I read that right?

This guy is taking an unofficial tonight. 6'9" and shooting 46% from three point. Type of mismatch Fred loves to have.
