Redundant stats

From the "things we already know file". In conference games only, ISU is:
1. 9th in scoring
2. 9th in fg%
3. 8th in 3pt%
4. 9th in 3pt attempts
5. 10th in ft%
6. 10th in ft attempts

Duh...I know. TJ has made no bones about defense & rebounding being this program's identity and I'm fine with that. The rebounding stats are middling for the most part, but the offense is poor....shocker. Get better ball handlers & shooters and maintain the defense & rebounding & this thing moves way up. Seems like we discussed this thing with the football team too.

Killer turn of events....

We are up 6, have all the momentum, win a fracas on the floor, get a big WV player ejected, both teams awarded 2 technical free throws.

We miss our two freebies, WV makes their two PLUS a 3-pointer next trip down the floor. Our 6 point lead that looked like we might stretch to 10 or 11 is suddenly down to 1 point. Instead, WV has US in a chokehold....new ballgame. Momentum over.

It also didn't help that it took the refs 90 minutes to sort our the technicals.....

Sad news of the death of a former Cyclone recruit

I remember covering Ryan as an Illinois HS recruit that Iowa State had pursued before he ended up signing with Rutgers. The Cyclones had him on campus for an unofficial visit in the summer of 2019 and later offered.

Now ACC has problems

Florida State AD now threatening to leave unless uneven revenue sharing is enacted. They say them and Clemson bring more to the table and deserve more. And there may be a way out for them. ESPN may have to sweeten the pot for those two schools , but this will start the blue bloods demanding more in the other conferences I believe. Having a conference of equals sounds good to me. I hope the Commish doesn’t screw it up. Now the Clemson AD is saying the same thing. ESPN helped create this mess, now they are trying to put their finger in the dike and keep FSU and Clemson from bolting.
