I'm not even sure Toppin could've saved Tech today. Iowa State is just playing that well. This looks like November-December ISU. #BlueCy

A marketing ploy is starting to get important guys hurt. Well done Big 12. #BlueCy

Amazing what happens when Tech doesn't shoot out of its mind from 3. #BlueCy

That was a team that looks like a second- or third-weekend NCAA team. Need more of that please. #BlueCy

The Sun Devils have quit. It's all over the body language. #BlueCy

So the 49ers sign a kicker to a four-year deal, and they bring in 33-year-old Mike Evans, who played in eight games last year and isn't getting younger. They seem relegated to third in the division again.

Didn't you just love the old Cyclone Television Network coverage in those days? And except for the 1986 team, that was a lot of not-great basketball. It's awesome that the floor of the program now is still in the Top 25.

Buchanan taking a 3 as the shot clock winds down can't be part of the offense. #BlueCy

Bill used to be king of in-state recruiting, but outside of Ashley Joens and Audi, and AJ to a smaller extent, it's been rough for a while. Portal has been meh. The game may have passed him by.

He'll retire when the cupboard is bare after next year.

A lot of people thought this was Bill's best roster (the '99 team is that for me), but this one will end with 10 losses, mid-pack Big 12 finish and a first-weekend NCAA loss.

I don't know what this game plan is. It's just jack up 3s no matter what. They're hounding Audi, but no one is driving the basket at all. #BlueCy

Toure's days of starting the rest of this season should be over. What he is giving you over Batemon at this point? The real games are about to start. #BlueCy

Iowa State's weaknesses have been on full display these last two games. Teams than can D in the halfcourt in the NCAA Tourney will put the Cyclones on upset alert. #BlueCy

I think its time to start Batemon. It's the elephant in the room, but Toure is not giving anything at the offensive end. #BlueCy

JJeff has to stop the hero ball. He's just out of control a little much tonight. #BlueCy

Got to start moving in the half court. Come on. #BlueCy

Can Garcia and Sides transfer to Iowa State next year? I'd take them. #BlueCy

You don't turn it over more than 20 times and usually win. Without Audi dominating, this would've been ugly. #BlueCy

The Iowa State season has three parts: 1) the first several games with Addy healthy and Audi cooking, 2) the part where Addy was hurt, 3) Addy's return and they look completely out of sorts. #BlueCy

The 1 seed is probably gone, but I don't think they were that anyway. They are a good 2 seed. #BlueCy

That double bye is slowly melting away. #BlueCy

At least Kansas hasn't shown up against Arizona. So there's that. #BlueCy

Wake me up when the Cyclones decide to defend and rebound. For now, I'll take a nap. #BlueCy

Time to turn it over to Emily Ryan.

I continue to tire seeing JJeff going coast to coast with the ball. He is not Dybantsa. #BlueCy

He has gotten so much better. Coming off the bench, he's now one of their best defenders, and that's saying a lot with all the good ones they have.

It's the "once they learned about it" that is depressing. He was prattling on for a year about tariffs, but they couldn't take 30 seconds to type "What are tariffs and who pays for them" into a Google search.

Binner has to be like, "Yeah I just got silver in a high-octane, gripping game, but now I have to go back to St. Louis."

Hopefully Blues players are watching this, seeing how engaged Binner can be if they were just as engaged in front of him.
