October 16, 201411 yr McClain apparently had lung cancer for two years and didn't tell anyone, not even Sergio. http://www.news-gazette.com/sports/prep-sp...achs-fight.html
October 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 15, 2014 -> 04:07 PM) Trying to get a read on the Iowa State team for this year, and the predictions are all over the board. People seem to not have an idea what to do with them. One preseason poll had them in the Top 10. But the coaches predicted them 5th in the B12. That's a huge gap. Will be exciting to see how the transfers do, and how Niang develops. Will u be at the KU game in Ames this year? I will be there.
October 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 21, 2014 -> 09:08 PM) Will u be at the KU game in Ames this year? I will be there. I haven't been back to Ames since I moved out, which was in 1996. I'd like to get back sometime, and would probably try to time it with a hoops game if I could. But haven't done that yet. In my younger years I visited a number of different NCAA basketball arenas, including a few noted for being particularly loud. None of them touched Hilton. Closest was probably The Pit (UNM), but it wasn't that close. Hilton really is a special place for those games.
October 23, 201411 yr Comcast SportsNet is running the Illinois-Zona game from 2005. What an amazing team. It was so fun to watch them play.

November 1, 201411 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 1, 2014 -> 09:47 AM) Emmit Holt public enemy number one. Sounds like he pulled a Jamar Smith
November 1, 201411 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 1, 2014 -> 12:22 PM) Sounds like he pulled a Jamar Smith Don't think so. 19 year old college kid with a bac of .02 on Halloween night. The shocking thing is that it wasn't 5 times that. Sounds like the victim ran in the middle of the road for no reason. But I'm guessing there's more to this.
November 2, 201411 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 04:39 AM) It will be insane, especially if Gameday is there. Fingers crossed that it will be a top ten matchup. When are they gonna announce game time for that game? I got to know when to order hotel rooms depending on time of day.
November 2, 201411 yr Sorry all, but it looks like SIU will average 100 pts a game, go 40-0 to win the national championship, as Anthony Beane is the national player of the year and consensus #1 draft pick next summer.

These are all just facts. Take that NAIA school!

So sorry to burst that bubble.

November 3, 201411 yr Iowa State scrimmaged Minnesota today (secretly) and apparently did quite well without their starting center (Jameel McKay). Iowa State 103, Minnesota 78 In Hoiberg's words, he wants to go much quicker than last year, when they were already 16th quickest in tempo.

Wow that's a stomping, Minny is supposed to be decent as well. Illinois had one of those "secret" scrimmages as well, beat Dayton by 4 per reports.

November 3, 201411 yr "Secret" scrimmages crack me up. If it was so secret how do we know who won and how many points each player scored?

November 3, 201411 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 11:37 AM) Nothing is secret with the internet. Just have an open workout then. I love how secret it was, but then we have stats down to turnovers and what each player did in certain sets.
November 3, 201411 yr 3 of the 5 preseason All-Americans are from Illinois. Guess how many play for Illinois?
