π™π™žπ™£π™–π™‘: 𝙉𝙀. 4 π™π˜Ύπ™€π™£π™£ (10-1) 101, 𝙄𝙀𝙬𝙖 π™Žπ™©π™–π™©π™š (9-4) 68 Iowa State needs to find a reset button of sorts before the start of Big 12 play, or this could turn into a long season. This team has looked like a night-and-day difference with the one that took Stanford to the ropes on the road last year.

π™π™žπ™£π™–π™‘/π™Šπ™: π˜Ώπ™§π™–π™ π™š (10-0) 73, 𝙆-π™Žπ™©π™–π™©π™š (6-4) 70 The Bulldogs got out to a hot start and fended off Kansas State in overtime to remain undefeated on the year. Mitch Mascari went 6-6 from deep in the first half, while Bennett_Stirtz cashed Drake's check late Bulldogs start 10-0 and are 1/5 undefeated's

Rough waters so far in Uncasville. Cyclones have got to find a reset before Big 12 play

Four and a half minutes in and Drake is out to a 9-0 lead on K-State. Ben McCollum's squad has Jerome Tang in a bind. Dogs are (still) playing great ball.

Iowa State's confidence never wavered as it fought back to its first victory in Iowa City since 2014. cyclonefanatic.com/2024/12/conf...

Just out here blue sky'n with @robwgray.bsky.social How y'all feeling about the Cy-Hawk tonight?

Almost that time.

Going down to Dallas with Bill Seals and Rob G. We're working on a Drake Football head coaching wishlist, and will take suggestions. #bluecy exclusive

NOTEBOOK: In No. 6 Iowa State's 81-70 win over No. 5 Marquette, -Nate Heise breaks out, locks down defensively -Jefferson & Jackson show out -Tamin Lipsey's status My story from Hilton: cyclonefanatic.com/2024/12/note...

Keeping up with all of Iowa State's 2025 signees cyclonefanatic.com/2024/12/2025...

This referee is yelling into the microphone louder than a disgruntled employee at a nursing home.

According to a transfer portal tracking Twitter account (@CollegeFBPortal), K-State's leading wide receive, Jayce Brown, has entered the transfer portal. He's 657 yards on 39 receptions this season.

Keshon Gilbert might be the coldest dude to wear No. 10 since Ricky Rudd in the Tide car.

Nojus Indrusaitis is not afraid to take the ball to the rim. Impressive stuff from the true freshman.

I never thought I'd see an Iowa State crowd chant "Kill" repeatedly while the Cyclones wore fauxback uniforms in a game played in Maui but that is what we're seeing and it is magical. #ThankYouCBB

I cannot overstate how good Dishon Jackson has been when he's on the floor tonight. Wow.

An Auburn player just threw the ball off of Keshon Gilbert's head and is now at the line shooting free throws. We have a major officiating problem in college basketball.

Dylan Cardwell just obviously and emphatically embellished a foul call with minimal contact that was reviewed for over 60 seconds and then called a flagrant. The massive officiating problem in college basketball continues.

If Iowa State plays like that for the next 100 minutes, it will be No. 1 on Monday at noon.

Hilton vibes in Maui #BlueCy

Keshon Gilbert continues to surprise me and he probably shouldn't but at this point I'm ready to say he's elite.

Helluva first game. If you're looking to learn more about these teams, check out our intern Jackson Pence's latest piece. He eats and breathes college basketball. Really good stuff. cyclonefanatic.com/2024/11/scou...

Can y'all imagine a hockey ref hearing a complaint about a bad call he made, and then giving the other team a penalty shot? Absolutely not, because it's ludicrous! The ref culture in Basketball has a problem!!

UConn and Memphis coming down to the final moments on ESPN2. Former Cyclone Tyrese Hunter has 17 and this dude named Dane Dainja (pronounced like danger) is going off. Fun game in the Maui opener.

Everyone in the gym knew where that ball was going.” β€” Emily Ryan after ISU's 80-78 win over Drake. That was to Audi Crooks for Sunday's game winner in the final second. cyclonefanatic.com/2024/11/audi...

WBB: Iowa State had to overcome a ferocious effort from Drake on the offensive boards, and used a little luck to come away with a win Sunday. cyclonefanatic.com/2024/11/wbb-...

Converted another one today.

#MadnessInTheValley

Drake might be better now than they were under Darian DeVries. Shocked Miami yesterday, curbstomped FAU today. They've jumped from #125 to #83 in KenPom in TWO DAYS. The Bulldogs were picked 5th in the Valley, but they are absolutely going to be a conference title contender.

Cade McNamara has released a statement addressing rumors that alleged he was no longer with the Iowa football program. He states that he has every intention to play against Nebraska next week.

Drake beats Florida Atlantic behind 39 points from Bennett Stirtz and Mitch Mascari. Mascari 6-8 from 3. Tavion Banks and Isaiah Jackson are as gritty as it gets. Bulldogs improve to 5-0 and advance to the Charleston Classic finals to face either Seton Hall or Vanderbilt. #MadnessInTheValley

How can you possibly screw up jerseys this badly??

This Drake team is fun as hell. Dogs down Miami in a March Madness revenge game. #MadnessInTheValley

In the first Charleston Classic game of the day, Drake has thrown four alley oops against Miami and the announcer just compared the matchup to the Netflix show Outer Banks. So if you're looking for entertainment I don't know where else it'd be. Espn2.

First snow of the year and I am like a kid on christmas

Iowa State got out of sorts and couldn't hang on to much of anything defensively. UNI's trio of Maya McDermott (who scored 37 points), Elise Jaeger & Kayba Laube went 11-15 from the 3-point line. A couple of big plays from Emerson Green too. Wish the men's side played these games, great atmosphere

Made it to beautiful Cedar Falls

New CFP Rankings just dropped, and they aren't good. - Alabama (beat Mercer) jumps Miami (bye). - BYU falls 8 spots with a loss to KU, behind a team it neat on the road (SMU) - Missouri still ranked with three losses - Iowa State at No. 22 (other B12 teams Colorado #16 and ASU #21)
