Not sure how he ended up in Iowa City. George Raveling recruited most of that squad, but Tom Davis capitalized on the talent in their elite 8 run. They had the Runnin’ Reb team down 17 at half and blew it. But Gamble was the least heralded member of that group but he was a great college player.

The premium board is a different place altogether. I generally don’t spend much time in the open forums.

Yeah, this region is by far the toughest. Whoever comes out of it will be the most battle tested in this dance. Just wish it was Thursday night already!

This! No lies though, I grew up a Hawk fan. I was a freshman at Iowa State when BJ Armstrong, Roy Marble, Ed Horton, Kevin Gamble were playing. I rooted for that team, but then fell in love with Hilton Coliseum. Some of the Big 8 matchups with Kansas and Oklahoma State, Missouri were just...

Check your seasons. You’re looking at 20-21 season. Steve Prohm’s final season 2-22 record. The next season was TJ’s first season and we beat Tech 51-47 in Ames then lost there.

Shannon has faced TJ's defense before while at TTech. He scored 4. Granted he was a Sophomore. He didn't play in both matchups that season. The defensive scheme was pretty much the same that year, our guys just execute it better this year.

Another Clone fan pointed it out, but the A&M game as well as the Virginia Tech game we were without Hasan Ward. He was out from the 3rd week of November until the start of conference play. We're likely two wins better with him in the lineup. But the BYU shellacking in Provo was with our full...

Cyclone fan here. I think a better comparison would be Baylor. Baylor's adjusted O ranking was #6 prior to the dance and you guys were #2. Adjusted D, you guys were 143 Baylor was 152. The Bears averaged 82 and change PPG compared to your 84 and change. We played them at Waco, they won 70-68 (we...
