  • Game 11-Prairie View A&M 12/12 7 PM

    Fun fact: We have not played a Q4 game yet. One of 5 teams in the country that hasn't (Boise (2 non-DIs), EWU, Texas Southern, UNC-Asheville).

    Tonight's game is also a Q3.

    Line is UNI -14.5.

    This team is not your normal cheap buy game. It took ISU some time to shake free from them Sunday, when ISU has pretty consistently stomped their buy game opponents to this point in the season. Going to play an aggressive defensive style not unlike what Toledo played Saturday. Will be interesting to see the growth from this bunch in a couple days.

      Would love to see a 20+ point victory tonight and a 30+ point victory on Sunday to get a nice boost in the metrics and get some confidence/swagger going into the last non-con game at NIU. I won't hold my breath though. At this point I'll just be happy with 2 wins, which is all that really matters I guess.

        Prairie View A&M plays at a very fast pace, 9th in the country. We've had some high scoring games, I don't see this being any different.
        To avoid confusion - my username is baseball (Cy Young award) related, NOT for the Cyclones.

          We've only held two teams under 70 points this year. That's a benchmark I would like to see. We've shown we can score, we have to stop someone sometime.

            Tonight might be it. They're 320th in offensive efficiency per KenPom. Better than us defensively fwiw (149 v 184)

              We should have a size advantage. Pound it in to Hutty and get #3 Myles in foul trouble.

                I have noticed improvement in SWAC teams these last few years. Years ago this would be an easy game about like playing a D3 team but tonight we need a solid effort to win.

                  Honestly... I just want to see some defense and toughness. I don't even care if we shoot like crap and score 60 as long as we win and play good defense. Let's see some guys start getting mad and fired up.

                      This is not a team that makes you pay for your mistakes.

                        Decent first half out rebounded them by six and went 10-11 at the line. Seemed like pulling teeth at times but managed to get a 15 point lead.

                          ​​​​​​Exactly what you need in a buy game.

                          On to Sunday!

                            Interesting that Jake stuck with his main guys all the way through the final horn. Plenty of opportunity to get the end of the bench some minutes but coach left some starters on the floor. Interesting.

                              I think they need all the work they can get. Mainly on defense, obviously. I'm good with it.
