10 years pf playing the SEC challenge, no game against Kentucky?

It almost seems that ISU was screwed over in the SEC challenge on the scheduling. How is it that this went on for 10 years and Kentucky never played ISU, let alone in Hilton? Here are the Kentucky games in this challenge for the whole 10 years.

BU vs UK
UT vs UK
KU vs UK
KU vs UK
WV vs UK
KU vs UK
TT vs UK
No game for UK
KU vs UK
KU vs UK

How the hell does ISU and Hilton not get KU in this whole time? KU get them 5 times? Hell, even TT and WV got KU at least once. Big 12 office clearly not going to bat for ISU.

Honestly, outside of UK, none of the SEC teams ever interests me.

Team versus Talent

Tell me I'm wrong. I have watched every game that the men have played and I believe every conference game the opposing teams have better athletes. Not necessary better basketball players but better athletes. In saying that I think we play better team defense and play as a team. I think TJ has convinced his players that this is the best way to win the games. Fire away tell me how I'm wrong. Go Cyclones!

CF's comments on last night (KSU game)

Got home at 1:10 a.m. I really shouldn't be doing that anymore. Good thing I didn't have anything big today, but then again I don't ever have anything big anymore.

The improvement of Gabe Kalscheur is amazing. I would never have imagined based on last year.

Jaren Holmes, I have a man-crush which is really awkward given my age. He started slow but is so steady right now. He HAS replaced Isiah Brockington.

Osun is rounding into form. He has to get the ball deep as his moves from 10 feet are not good. The problem with his relief is that King, Ward, and Jones can't replicate what he does. And he only does it for about 80% of the time he is on the floor.

Lipsey is rock solid, but needs to eliminate dumb fouls.

Watson has a great floor game and a good looking release. He is worried about missing rather than expecting to make. Form is fine.

The team defense is great. I love watching it. Having the eraser makes a huge difference.

I worry about Grill. He had made big improvement. But he has visibly lost some mobility due to the injury. That might be the difference between good and great for this team.

Fun group to watch. The ability to score, even compared to early in the year, is amazing to me. And without a pure shooter. But several who are good.

Great crowd and energy in the building. Liv is sooooo much better than TV or radio.
