I may be in the minority here, but i don't want the team knowing the result of the ISUR/CU game

Like I said before, I dont think that will matter. Either they know that they will have to win because CU won, or if CU loses, they will be motivated by the fact that they do not want to cut the nets down after a loss.

It's going to be impossible to do that unless they are locked up in a room with no means of communication with the outside all day Saturday. I don't know about you, but I think that would be a worse situation for our team to go into a game following.

I know I'm going to have a watch party for the ISU-CU game, but regardless of outcome, I am going to be loud and proud at the McLeod Saturday night.

The way I look at it is this. We HAVE to win on Saturday to claim the conference title and #1 seed. If it happens to be an outright title, so be it. But I WANT that win and title.

I agree with all of that, but i just don't want them to know that CU won, if that happens, and have them come out play tense known that HAVE to win no matter what and lay an egg.

If we want to win the MVC, we will HAVE to win every game in St Louis.

If we want to win the NIT, we will HAVE to win every game in that tournament.

IMO, it would be a good experience for the team, and it certainly showed its capable of winning that type of game the other night.

This is the biggest game in program history. Winning conference championships are a big deal. It has never happened since we went D I. The last one was in the early 60's. Drake went 35 years between championships. Iowa hasn't won one since 1979. With the exception of the Tinsly years at Iowa State hadn't won one in years & years. All of the other big wins listed were important to prove we belong playing D I and we belonged in the Valley. Winning a regular season tittle takes the program to a different level.

I love tittles!
Been away from here for a while, took a small hiatus and the team started playing well so I went with it. Hope the Mac is packed Saturday with a vocal crowd, including a good student section. And I hope I get to see them cut the nets down, as I had my appendix out 2 days before they did in St. Louis in '04!
Funny story from last home game: Was sitting behind this guy who was yelling at the refs during a free throw (WORST...REFS....EVER! which I somewhat agreed with), and this girl yells down from about 4 rows up for him to shut up. He proceeds to tell her that 1. it was a basketball game, and she could promptly (in not such nice words) take herself to the library if she needed quiet, and 2. that she had a huge nose (which she kind of did). Hilarious. Later, the crowd gets loud, and he turns around to everybody sitting behind him and motions for them to be quiet and starts pointing at the girls as if to say "don't offend them!" Another of the pissy crew flips him off and goes "Look at your face," to which he replies "what is this, a hook nose convention? You are so ugly!" Didn't hear anything out of those two the rest of the game. This was by far my favorite exchange I've ever heard in the student section. Great stuff.

There is not a doubt that this is the most important game in our D1 history. Nothing else comes close.
