TCU game —Refs

I know about the FT discrepancies, but I think they actually did a pretty good job. Fran clearly pointed out the leg deal on the 3’s but those are tough to call.

Maybe Jones on the hard pick (thought he was set) and the subsequent blocking call on him, but other that those, pretty fair shake in the road.

Race Thompson

Thought maybe it deserved a separate post since the Clones were runner up to Indiana for Race Thompson. Race’s mom and my wife are good friends and former college teammates.

Per a text from his mom this AM, he is having an MRI this morning after getting rolled up by a Hawkeye last night.

Best case is a sprained knee and he’ll be back maybe for tournaments. Concern is he tore something and would be done for the year/career.

Course it had to happen at the Shit Hole that is Carver when he has 9 pts in the first 10 minutes…bad karma there man.

Should the entire Big 12 go to the dance?

I know it is still early, but Ken Pom has all 10 Big 12 schools in his top 35. There are only 4 Little 10 schools( out of 14) that make the top 35. Right now the last bracketology has 8 Big 12 and 8 Little 10 schools in the dance. The Big 12 is essentially crazy good, actually dominating Mens Basketball. Iowa is currently 52 on Ken Pom, so if the last 2 in the Big 12 can not make the dance, Iowa should never even be considered.

Random Saturday basketball stuff

Watched a bit of the Drake/Murray State game. Our own CSP back in state leading the Racers. He had much the same success in Iowa today as he did in his last season in the state.

Props to Drake and their crowd. I realize it was a Saturday, which helps, but compared to some of the arenas I see across basketball this year, including Oklahoma this past week, good job outta them to fill up their building (with no students-since that is the excuse everyone else gives)

I know many don't care for Chris Hassel on here, but he had this tweet today, trolling all those who made fun of his tweet of 1.75 years ago touting the signing of Kalscheur. He tweeted then that Gabe would be a good fit for CTO. Click the play button to see the tweet scroll.

Is Gundy under fire?

Players are bailing in Stillwater and Gundy has pissed off the media. That is not a good combination.

Procter, Others Talk About NIL Deals


Kadyn Proctor is an Iowa native and committed to the Hawkeyes back in June. But the day before the Early Signing Period opened, he opted to flip to Alabama. Proctor said he had “thousands” of people coming at him about the decision saying it came down to Alabama offering more money.

He finds that a little ironic given the Hawkeyes had a better NIL package.

“When these stories come out, I hope they understand that,” Proctor said. It wasn’t about the NIL money, because I’m not getting as much money as Iowa would’ve paid me.”

***Temporarily locked out of Twitter***

Seems it was about two years almost to the day that I got locked out before, around the time Iowa State was playing in the Fiesta Bowl. Well, it's happened again for who knows why. Twitter asking me to verify my phone number, then not sending a text to me phone with a code to enter to verify my phone number. So...I've started the resolution process with the bloated bureaucracy known as Twitter. How long will that take? I have no clue.

So now seems to be a good time to remind you of the @CycloneReport (https://twitter.com/CycloneReport) Twitter handle that I also utilize and to give it a follow if you haven't already, as that is what I'm primarily using during the @williamseals down period.
