Iowa State took on a team with some great players (see M. Beasley and B. Walker) and stood tough. The Clones may not have the depth and talent of most teams, or any team for that matter. But Coach McDermott finds a way to his players into position and you can just see that the foundation is set for success. I realize coming from a guy who couldn't make a shot if his life depended on it. However, I see a huge difference between this team and the Wayne Morgan team. Watching those games left you wondering "what the heck is going on?" When things got bad and their athletic ability (which was at a higher level under Morgan) couldn't carry them, things fell apart.
Now I see a team that shouldn't keep with a KSU team loaded with talent, and there was no quit. None, at all. They fought back from 8 and 14 point deficits to keep the game close to the very end.
So Cyclone fans, rejoice, the future is bright. Basketball, (and football) is on the way up in Ames. Jamie Pollard has a plan and the men in charge are poised to led the resurgence of ISU sports.
The best news of the day, we're still not the Hawkeyes.

I watched the ISU-Baylor game earlier this year and saw a team that had many chances to win. With some time and maturity, those are the types of games I hope we can pull out.
And who is this Brackins character? Why is he not putting up 25 points a game?
Brackins is a star in the making. Lots of students compare him to Fizer, though I think they represent two different styles. He'll be good next year. He hit a huge funk in conference play, partly because our offense was so stagnent. With some whole milk and lots of weight lifiting, coupled with Coach McD's teaching, this guy will be a stud.
