wrasslin, now that's a hard sport. Not sure how those guys do it. In off-season football, sometimes coaches would have us wrestle. Hell with that, too damn hard. I give anyone who does it my respect.

OSU's Gallagher-Iba Arena is home to both their wrestling and basketball teams -- the Gallagher is named after a HOF wrestling coach who was 138-5-4 at OSU, including 19 undefeated seasons and 11 NCAA titles. The Iba is named after a HOF basketball coach who was 755-340 at OSU, including four Final Fours and 2 National Championships

lot of people excited about the match-up between OSU's Smart and ISU senior G Deandre Kane (#50)

Sports Illustrated, Jan 7 2014:

Kane is the prime turbine for unbeaten Iowa State, one of the Big 12’s most productive players and surging to maybe more.

He fills every need, averaging 15.1 points and 7.1 rebounds and 6.1 assists while leading the attack that ranks 10th in adjusted offensive efficiency with 117.1 points per 100 possessions – a figure slightly better than Iowa State’s rate that ranked sixth nationally a year ago. Kane was named Big 12 Player of the Week on Monday, a line-item that follows the one for winning the identical award a week before.

To this point, Kane is maddening to deal with, a bruising lead guard nevertheless able to finesse incisions into the lane to find spot-up shooters or run pick-and-rolls with Iowa State’s cavalcade of frontcourt scorers. Or he can muscle his way to his own shot while also wearing down the opposition’s best offensive options at the other end. “He’s been outstanding,” Baylor coach Scott Drew said. “One thing you notice about him, he affects the game in multiple ways – rebounds, assists, scoring, defensively with his size he can guard multiple positions. A stat-sheet stuffer.”

guess OSU fans thought the same thing because there are a lot of empty seats. it is currently 34 degrees in Stillwater but still...

Yeah, like I said in the other thread that he was spamming (and not even a game thread, which might at least make a *tiny* bit of sense) If we wanted to read a bunch of random fucking tweets, we'd get on fucking twitter.

1) they are a bunch of randos, and I barely want to hear what Trolly has to say let alone the general population on twitter
2) all of these people think Oklahoma State is good. thus, I disagree. this isn't a month ago.

well, for one, it takes a lot of work to screen all the tweets and share the most interesting ones. look at it like i'm your bitch secretary doing bitch work for you for free. but yeah, the game thread is a good point. normally, i'd start a game thread, but people bitch about that too. no matter what you do, there is going to be someone who bitches. so try this: Quit Bitching. Do you ever see me bitching at people?

there ya go. the tweets of the people saying the game is good sparked some conversation: it got you to say you disagree with them. the ND vs Cuse game was banging and buzzing with activity in the 2nd half. With this Iowa St vs Okla St game, it's pretty dead. but, i think most basketball games are boring until the last ten minutes. that's when they get fun
