So far this year Iowa state has beaten Kennesaw State by 11, Oregon State by 10, Alabama State by 8, and frog stomping Grambling State by 35 (who knew there is a state called Grambling, let alone Kennesaw). Last year Iowa State had a miserable year but now with a new head coach T.J. Otzelberger (our pretending m
od like to call him TJO) has his team averaging 73 points a game

GUY TO WATCH
Gard Izaiah Brockington a transfer from Penn State as their leading scorer at 13.5 per game and only player in Big 12 averaging at least 13-8

Freshman guard Tyrese Hunter is averaging 12.8 points and six assists

KU transfer Tristan Enaruna had a breakout game against Grambling

Iowa State bench which includes Aljaž Kunc, who is their 3 point surprise with 5 threes in the last game

George Conditt IV 6'9" and 234 lbs. along with Tristan Enaruna 6' 8", 220 lbs are their leading rebounders

X and Iowa state have split the previous two meetings ... ISU and Xavier are playing in the same tournament for the second time in the last four seasons although they did not meet in Maui.

For Xavier

Nunge played in two games against the Cyclones as an Iowa Hawkeye, averaging 16.5 points and 9 rebounds while shooting 56 percent from the field ... ISU was 1-1 against Iowa in games Nunge played.

That sucks. There is an option for his replacement. I still think the final will be X 72, ISU 65.

not starting out good for X with fouls, turnovers and then Scruggs cut lead in half with X's first score

State's big man is killing X on board with O rebounds

Hunter....is....a.....mess. Stanley next in line to fall in love with what he doesn't do well. Chuck up threes.

No kidding neither can hit a three even in warmups. No AK hurts, but our offense is back to being horrible.

Stanley is just to slow to guard the post and why in the world is Hunter still shooting 3's? Play D and we will be back in this thing
