I'd like to see Iowa State do well in the NCAA's

[coolm]

I like the mayor.
I like their team.

and it's cool that this is the 8th team in a row they have played that is ranked or has been ranked. that should make them pretty salty.

I agree with the exception of Niang. There is just something about that dude, can't stand him.

I really like his game. Great low post scorer with a good jump shot. On the other hand he always plays well against OU. I know I've disliked guys for that in the past.

I have never seen Niang not play well. I don't watch a ton of ISU but he seems pretty consistent to me. Much better player than Marcus Smart.

They talk A LOT. Kane and Hogue seem to usually be at the center of it. There were quite a few quotes from our guys about this after we played them in Norman.

I agree. They're a tough match-up because they have 5 good players and any one of them can hurt you .... like OU. Niang is such a tough low post player. He's smart and crafty. Niang, Ejim, and Kane are all 3 special talents.

I thought I heard someone say during Monday night's game that DeAndre Kane was 25 or 26 years old. Is that correct?

They said he was born in '89, so he's 24 or maybe 25 if his bday is in January.

Born in 1989.

I wonder why more guys don't do that though? Is there anything that prevents an 18 year old kid from graduating HS, spending two years working out with a basketball guru daily, then going to college from ages 20-24? Obviously not everybody would need to do that, but maybe some kid that is flying below the radar, or that just picked up basketball.

I mean if you are doing it to increase your potential NBA value, you are also hurting it as age is always a drawback in the draft.

If you simply want to try to dominate the NCAA, there is nothing that would stop you. Your 5 year clock starts when you enroll in an NCAA program.

I like Iowa State, especially the Mayor. However, would have rather had OSU win last night. Better to have ISU at 4-5 instead of picking up a road win to go 5-4.

I'm not going to argue at all with picking up another game on finishing ahead of this "final 4 OSU squad"

They have a fun fanbase. I think they'd represent the Big 12 well if they make it to the later rounds. It's also cool to see a coach lead his alma mater like Zoidberg has

 

[AdaSooner]

Fred Hoiberg is a good coach and a class act. His players are good, but they also mimic his demeanor on the sideline. I will definitely pull for ISU to do well in the NCAA tourney!

I worry about ISU in the NCAA tournament because they often shoot a lot of 3s - and it seems like The Mayor let's hoist up 3s - anyone anytime. I'd love to see them do well, like Cool M, I love the way they play and how verisital they are. Fun teams to watch

 

[SilliSooner]

A lot of older guys for their class. Preps, transfers and late enrollers will make for a more mature than normal team. Niang as a 21 year-old (or close to it) soph is typical.
