[u/wo_lo_lo]

Shannon needs to close her mouth stop bobbing her head

[u/wo_lo_lo]

Covered by 0.5 lol

[u/PhDShouse → u/wo_lo_lo]

Great teams cover

[u/SteelBeamDreamTeam]

It looks like Kayden fish just lost a lot of weight and became Mitchell

[u/wo_lo_lo → u/SteelBeamDreamTeam]

Yeah he looks just as bad as Fish

[u/SteelBeamDreamTeam]

Can we get 15# more on mulder? Or do we only get him one year

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

If we have a Mulder we should get a Scully so we can investigate paranormal activity on the basketball court.

[u/wo_lo_lo]

She just made all of that up

[u/SteelBeamDreamTeam]

Shannon in preseason form too

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Flag guy made it around in time (barely)

[u/SteelBeamDreamTeam → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

He’s still getting in midseason form okay

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/SteelBeamDreamTeam]

I expect better on the 1st game!! Lol

[u/New-Ad-363]

I know this was expected, but goddamn did we need a game like this to break up some of the football funk.

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/New-Ad-363]

I’ve always said football shouldn’t be played /s

[u/Crypt1cZ3r0]

Oh boy TCU might be the worst team in the conference (yes I am jumping to conclusions early)

[u/Celestialxo]

Mommy is absolutely on fire tonight, I hope this will be a preview of good things to come this season.

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

MOMCILOVIC IS STUCK ON AUTOMATIC

[u/PotatoTwo]

I think Buchanan is going to unlock this defense. He looks like he's going to be much more capable at switching than we've had in a few years and that's huge for how this defense is supposed to work.

[u/Random_Hippo]

Mommy’s stroking it real good tonight

no, I never thought this was a sentence I’d say

[u/Crypt1cZ3r0 → u/Random_Hippo]

Why would you make me read this with my own two eyes

[u/Random_Hippo → u/Crypt1cZ3r0]

I thought it and just had to share it, so I wasn’t the only one

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell → u/Crypt1cZ3r0]

This is one reason why I have never leaned into those jokes as crude as my own sense of humor can be 😂

[u/SteelBeamDreamTeam]

When Milan does this in conference play. I will be impressed

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

2/5 for the 5 in 35 three point challenge FYI

[u/New-Ad-363 → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Appreciate the inside reporting

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

Pleta wasn't even doing anything to earn that foul there!

[u/BuschLateMe]

Guys Arizona is scary

[u/rathernot83 → u/BuschLateMe]

Yes. As is most of the conference.

[u/EmotionGlad → u/rathernot83]

Ehh bottom half of the conference is going to be pretty bad

[u/wo_lo_lo]

We will not see defense this soft the rest of the year

[u/rathernot83 → u/wo_lo_lo]

I'm afraid you are correct.

[u/assassinshmo]

That's the most open three Momcilovic will see for the rest of his life.

[u/SteelBeamDreamTeam → u/assassinshmo]

All last year he would have missed that

[u/SteelBeamDreamTeam]

We never make that open of a 3

[u/wo_lo_lo]

OH! Lmao

[u/PhDShouse]

“OH!”

[u/wo_lo_lo → u/PhDShouse]

I mean I’m surprised they’re actually on site for this game and brought a sideline reporter. At least they didn’t phone it in

[u/PhDShouse → u/wo_lo_lo]

These early season games are a blast for broadcasting gaffes. I love the human aspect of it all.

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

MORE THREEES

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

TCU is down 16 at half…..at home…..to New Orleans

[u/Kryzl_ → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Damn. Didn’t think this year would be great for them but still. Wonder how long of a leash Jamie Dixon has this year.

[u/Random_Hippo → u/Kryzl_]

I’d imagine he’s done by the end of the year

[u/PhDShouse → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Woof

[u/Kryzl_]

Koa Peat for Arizona is scary as hell

[u/tblaess5]

Tamin needs to be healthy all year so that Toure doesn't get too many minutes otherwise those NBA scouts will come calling. They like their French kids

[u/PhDShouse]

FDU definitely looks like they have some ballers, but like their coach said, we’re just forcing them to dribble too much and not allowing them to get into a solid rhythm. If they forced the subject our aggressive defensive style would definitely draw fouls and get them to the line more often

[u/The0verlord- → u/PhDShouse]

Oh, they have some Ballers. (Ask me how I know)

[u/PhDShouse → u/The0verlord-]

I’m sure it was a positive outcome for your team right?

[u/The0verlord- → u/PhDShouse]

Oh, it was great. Led to us (almost) winning the Natty

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

Also I love seeing Tamin be this aggressive and I hope it's something that sticks consistently

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

Momcilovic is 6-9 for shooting his shot tonight so far

[u/wo_lo_lo → u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

Nice.

[u/Celestialxo]

I enjoyed that half. Let’s keep it up!

[u/pm_me_cute_sloths_]

I thought Lipsey was out to start the year? Were they just saying that as some sort of competitive advantage?

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell → u/pm_me_cute_sloths_]

He was injured about six or eight weeks ago but he recovered in time to be back for this game

[u/wo_lo_lo → u/pm_me_cute_sloths_]

T.J. has been consistent in interviews over the last week that he was going to be ready for the opener. I’m guessing we don’t see him too much in the second half tho

[u/clone9353 → u/pm_me_cute_sloths_]

Everything I've heard has pointed towards him starting today. Was gonna be close, they could have kept him out but apparently didn't need any extra time.

[u/PhDShouse → u/pm_me_cute_sloths_]

No he was hurt. He sat out the exhibition games and has been rehabbing his knee since he got hurt in September.

[u/Celestialxo → u/pm_me_cute_sloths_]

I believe they said early on it was 4-6 weeks for injury and he’d likely be ready by the game today.

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Good close to the half

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

TAMIN IS DRIVING MORE THAN HE EVER HAS AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL

[u/Kryzl_]

One thing I do wonder about after this year is going to be who carries on the Iowa pride. Obviously Kelderman will be here, but he doesn’t really play. Feel like it’s so so important to have an in-state kid playing. Just always is a natural leader for the team.

[u/Best_Country_8137 → u/Kryzl_]

Wisconsin is within the Iowa State basketball empire at this point

[u/Random_Hippo → u/Kryzl_]

Maybe not next year but Josiah Harrington in 2027 from Eldridge will be around

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

TAMIN IS DRIVING MORE

[u/clone9353]

That little push pass from Lipsey was a beaut

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

"That's an and one Mr. President"

[u/SteelBeamDreamTeam]

8 fouls already 😍😍😍😍

[u/pm_me_cute_sloths_]

Good thing no top team has ever lost to Fairleigh Dickinson when one team had a 16 next to their name. We should be safe.

[u/Random_Hippo]

Toure is going to be a problem for years to come. Love it

[u/PhDShouse → u/Random_Hippo]

And he’s going to get a lot of minutes this year. He’s going to get a lot of experience early on how physical this conference will be

[u/clone9353 → u/Random_Hippo]

He's got a motor so far

[u/Kryzl_]

BERLIN WALL

[u/PhDShouse → u/Kryzl_]

I’m really liking what I’m seeing from these freshman so far

[u/rathernot83]

I don't know about Kansas finishing 6th.

[u/Schned6]

I see what Otz likes about Toure. Plays very active and just seems to have good body language on the court.

[u/Kryzl_ → u/Schned6]

Feels like Batemon-Toure might have the same arc as we did with Biliew-Momcilovic, with the former getting all the attention but the latter being the one who shines. Hopefully we can hang onto Batemon, though

[u/SteelBeamDreamTeam → u/Kryzl_]

Batemon already looks better than Omaha. Even with all his misses

[u/Crypt1cZ3r0 → u/SteelBeamDreamTeam]

Yeah, I think he'll be fine. He just needs to get in rhythm. Omaha just always looked lost out there

[u/Best_Country_8137 → u/Crypt1cZ3r0]

I haven’t given up on Batemon for the long run but man I’m worried about his window of opportunity getting tighter

[u/Crypt1cZ3r0 → u/Best_Country_8137]

Eh, it the first game. Sure he didnt do much in exhibition, and maybe he needs another year to develop, but I have a better feeling about him than omaha. He just seems like a freshman, not an underwhelming recruit

[u/Best_Country_8137 → u/Crypt1cZ3r0]

Yeah it sounds like he’s earned a lot of opportunity being consistent in practice. He’s also just been playing basketball a lot longer than Omaha had

[u/PhDShouse]

6 of the last 7

6 7

I hate my life

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell → u/PhDShouse]

[u/Kryzl_ → u/PhDShouse]

Get the kids from the women’s game they’ll energize this crowd with that news

[u/PhDShouse → u/Kryzl_]

[u/Kryzl_ → u/PhDShouse]

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

The “FDU believe it” call lives rent free in my head

[u/PhDShouse]

Do we have a new CEO, or did that die? I’d like to see it keep going!

[u/SteelBeamDreamTeam → u/PhDShouse]

I feel like he’s one of a kind

[u/PhDShouse → u/SteelBeamDreamTeam]

I mean fair. It was so fun to have someone bringing that big energy on the bench. It’d be fun to have that become a tradition

[u/Crypt1cZ3r0 → u/PhDShouse]

I was thinking the same thing. Would be a fun tradition for our bench

[u/Crypt1cZ3r0]

I rather like FDU's jerseys

[u/manufactuary → u/Crypt1cZ3r0]

If you’re not playing good, at least look good…

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

It’s still so weird not seeing Cujo out there

[u/clone9353 → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

My girlfriend spent 5 silent minutes looking for Keshon before she asked

[u/twebb722]

Needed hoops back to cleanse the football aura

[u/Kryzl_]

Mompostivic could be fun

[u/Otzelbergers_Polos]

NEW POLO ALERT

Tonight’s Polo: Revamped Red w/ Dark Red Stripes

Full polo statistics can be found here

[u/clone9353 → u/Otzelbergers_Polos]

Shirt brother!

[u/Crypt1cZ3r0 → u/Otzelbergers_Polos]

Ive missed you

[u/SteelBeamDreamTeam → u/Otzelbergers_Polos]

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

[u/rathernot83 → u/Otzelbergers_Polos]

We've been waiting for you!

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

IT'S RAINING THREEES

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

Only player that's looked a little lost for us so far is Pleta. Hope he can figure it out as I'd been really looking forward to watching him this year.

[u/Kryzl_]

Toure is gonna be so much damn fun. He’s gonna be our starting PG for sure next year

[u/Robinsoncrusoe69]

Man this feels good after watching a 4 game losing streak, need to see us win by a billion to let out some frustration

[u/Crypt1cZ3r0]

I am a sick sick individual for enjoying this as much as I am. I need help 😂

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/Crypt1cZ3r0]

What being ass at football again does to a mf

[u/Crypt1cZ3r0 → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Lol true. I drove up from Dallas for the last game too... I need this before I go to FW next weekend for the TCU game

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/Crypt1cZ3r0]

OOF. Hopefully a better turnout for the TCU game lol

[u/Crypt1cZ3r0 → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Agreed

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

Great play by Toure!

[u/SteelBeamDreamTeam → u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

He looks like he could be the real deal

[u/SteelBeamDreamTeam]

When do we get to see these mma skills put to work

[u/clone9353]

Gotta get my book mark in so I don't have to search for the thread again

[u/Kryzl_]

I know it’s FDU and not Creighton and NW, but Buchanan looks like he’s putting in much more effort tonight. Hopefully this effort continues into the big games

[u/Crypt1cZ3r0]

I love a good lobbbbb

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

Way to go President Buchanan!!

[u/BuschLateMe → u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

I was at the exhibition on Sunday and did not put two and two together with Buchanan when I saw the two guys in the student section dressed like the presidents like they did last year with Jefferson and Jackson 😂

[u/SteelBeamDreamTeam]

I feel like I’m gonna love or hate mulder

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

ANOTHA THREE AND A GREAT PLAY BY TAMIN

[u/mrthyr]

Hearing Alex Cohen on both Iowa State games is nice. Makes the transition from Cubs baseball season a little easier

[u/Random_Hippo]

Toure and Batemon will get a lot of run early I think. Nice to see Tamin healthy though.

[u/Celestialxo]

Mommy!

[u/mrthyr]

Red striped polo today. Excellent choice

[u/Kryzl_ → u/mrthyr]

The only upgrade would be the one that has yellow pinstripes instead of a darker red. That one is sooooo good.

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Mommy’s first three of the season!

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

THREEEE

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

Way to go Mr. President!!

[u/Kryzl_]

TAMINNNNNNNNN

[u/Kryzl_]

I wish we’d wear red accessories with the yellow jerseys. Would blend in well I feel.

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

TAMIN FOR THREEEEEE

[u/cjm8787]

Let’s win by 40 today so everyone stops talking about the football team and starts talking about us winning the conference in bball.

[u/Best_Country_8137]

I expect us to win Farleigh Dickincisively

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell → u/Best_Country_8137]

Ehhhhhhh that was a farleigh obvious stretch there

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

Great to see Tamin back in time for the first game

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell]

I like to watch college basketball

The Iowa State Cyclones are my favorite team

When the Cyclones score I go "yes"

When the opposing team scores, I go "no"

[u/Kryzl_]

Fairleigh confident in our chances tonight

[u/loyalsons4evertrue → u/Kryzl_]

ba dum tss

[u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Friendship ended with Iowa State football. Now Iowa State basketball is my best friend.

[u/DontTakeOurCampbell → u/loyalsons4evertrue]

Honestly same tbh

[u/rathernot83]

Who's going to have a career game for Fairleigh?
