I'm sure they had a huge crowd.

According to ESPN they were at 39% of capacity. I've always had a negative attitude towards that OSU BBall program. They get all that hype about tradition and Afro Sutton's programs, and historic Iba Arena, and their base doesn't give a sh$t about that program.

Leslie Jordan, the diminutive actor, died in a car crash a couple of days ago at age 67. He was in a few things I had watched in the past couple of years, like the Cool Kids with Martin Mull and Vicki Lawrence, and he also appeared as both a contestant and guest judge on the Masked Singer.

Up 6-2 early. We are really cold from the field.

All four won their games. Decent individual stats as well:
Monte Morris - starting pg in Wizards 108-100 win. 32 min; 5 RB; 2 A; 8 pt.

Tyrese Halliburton - starting pg in Pacers 129-122 win. 34 min; 4 RB; 13 A; 20pts
6 of 10 on 3s

Georges Niang - off the bench in Sixers 100-88 win over the Suns.
27 min; 4 RB; 1 A; 21 pts on 7 of 10 three pointers.

Talen Horton-Tucker - off the bench in Jazz win over his former team 139-116.
20 min; 3 RB; 3 A; 15 pts.

In total, they were 23 of 46, including 15 for 24 behind the three point line.

Per CKD...

We open up our HOME schedule Sat night at Hilton! Email me at kdresser@iastate.edu for SPECIAL ticket offer. Pre-Match Tailgate next door at Scheman from 5:30-7:30 pm.

Dual meet vs Cal Baptist starts at 8 pm.

This team is going to be very exciting to watch so come out and see us and help us kickoff our Home season. 🌪

IUPUI I’m sure is bad, but we looked really pretty good. Did we score 88 at all last year? That was nice to see as well, and of course defensively we were as good as expected.

Could be fun!

2024 Four-star Bentancur recaps latest Iowa State visit

What happened in the second half/4th quarter, more-so) to the O-line and the running game? What changed? Will it continue? Can it?

I'm actually able to watch via my PS4 ESPN app.

I remember him at MU, but article says he coached briefly at ISU.

Iowa State Media Relations

AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State wrestling program and head coach Kevin Dresser announced the addition of three prep wrestlers Wednesday. Tate Naaktgeboren, McCrae Hagarty and Blake Gioimo - all Iowa high school products – make up the Cyclones' 2023 class and are set to arrive on campus for the 2023-24 season.

"On behalf of our team and our staff, we want to welcome these three young men to Iowa State wrestling," Dresser said. "We're excited to watch these guys in their senior year and then watch them transition into college life over the summer. Tate and McCrae bring multiple state titles along with national-level accolades and will add a lot of strength to our upper weights. Blake is a lightweight guy who we feel has a lot of potential. I am sure we will add a few more to this class in the near future but this is a great start."

Here's a look at the new additions:

Tate Naaktgeboren
Hometown: Marion, Iowa
High School: Linn-Mar
Projected Weight Class: 184 pounds
Naaktgeboren will join the Cyclones next fall after an outstanding prep career at Linn-Mar High School. A three-time finalist with two class 3A state titles to his name (2021, 2022), Naaktgeboren projects as a 184-pounder for the Cyclones. He is tabbed as the No. 19 overall prospect in the 2023 class by MatScouts and the No. 6 182-pounder nationally by FloWrestling. With a senior season still to wrestle, Naaktgeboren has an outstanding 96-5 high school record, including a 44-2 mark last year.

McCrae Hagarty
Hometown: Waverly, Iowa
High School: Waverly Shell-Rock
Projected Weight Class: 197 pounds
Hagarty is another accomplished Iowa High School product and will join the Cyclones from Waverly Shell-Rock High School where he has won a pair of team state championships. Hagarty will enter his final high school season with a 117-8 career record, including 82-1 over the last two seasons. He is a three-time Class 3A state medalist, placing fourth as a freshman before winning consecutive titles at 182 pounds and 195 pounds as a sophomore and junior, respectively. Hagarty is also a 16U All-American in both freestyle and Greco-Roman. He is ranked by MatScouts as the No. 59 overall prospect in the country and is the No. 11 195-pounder nationally by FloWrestling.

Blake Gioimo
Hometown: Fairfax, Iowa
High School: Cedar Rapids Prairie
Projected Weight Class: 125 pounds
Gioimo slots as one of Iowa's top lightweight wrestling prospects and will join the Iowa State wrestling program from Cedar Rapids Prairie High School. Gioimo is a two-time Class 3A state finalist at 106 pounds and 113 pounds, respectively. He has a 62-2 record over the last two seasons. Gioimo, who projects at 125 pounds for the Cyclones, was also 16U national dual team last season after finishing second at the 16U freestyle state championships. He is ranked No. 3 in IAwrestle's 120-pound Class 3A preseason rankings.

I've been out of pocket for a couple weeks.
I just watched the replay of the ladies' game against Cleveland State. I don't believe Jordao played and I didn't see her on the beach. Is she ill or injured?

So there are 43 Bowl games this year, I think (I have seen 41 as well).

I haven't looked to see how many teams might become bowl eligible, but if we finished 5-7, could we get selected possibly?

I did find out that APR matters in selection for 5-7 teams and we were ranked pretty high in the summer.


This team needs all the additional practice they can get.

I guess the other question is would they want to participate, and that answer is above my pay grade.

Off fo a good start. Soares is a beast. 24-11 at end of first.

Interesting if true

As I've covered in another thread, the Cyclones are expected to sign all four members of its 2023 recruiting class during the fall period that runs from Nov. 9-16. However, I'd expect those signatures to come in at some point today. I'll be reporting those as they are confirmed and released by Iowa State. This class will be one of the, if not the, greatest in the rankings era of Cyclone basketball. It includes five-star forward Omaha Biliew, who is the highest-ranked member of the class and will likely end up being the highest-ranked ISU signee in the Rivals ratings era. The two four-stars are each ranked in the Rivals100, including small forward Milan Momcilovic who checks in at 31st nationally. Here's another look at the Cyclones' class of four.

Audi Crooks is the only one to have signed so far. Ariana Jackson is set to sign at 1:30, Addy Brown and Kelsey Joens will be signing at 2:30 and I haven't seen anything about when Jalynn Bristow is signing.

Republicans, independents and democrats speaking loud and clearly down here. Freedom loving Americans on all sides.

We all know that after tonight, the democrats will be running around telling us that the election was stolen. And also who will be the first one to claim it was the Russians! Clearly the Russian are setting this all up for Trump to run!

They seem to struggle with it.
