Iowa St isn’t winning because they have a billionaire bankrolling their program. They play elite defense and just beat Kentucky by 20 without their best player.
There is no reason why Iowa can’t get the quality of players Iowa State does. Hopefully Ben can start bringing them in.

NIL happened.

Clown U has a billionaire bankrolling their MBB program.


I don’t think Albaugh himself is a big Iowa State sports fan, but his son-in-law Jason? HUGE Iowa State basketball fan, and has been for years. I think he’s the one responsible for the financial side of getting top talent there.

That aside, what a lucky SOB. You marry into all THAT?! In fairness, he dated Albaugh’s daughter throughout high school and college, I believe, before Albaugh’s company took off into what it is today. I’ll also add he’s a pretty good guy. Bankrolls CycloneFanatic, too.

ANOTHER missed goaltending in the St. John's game.

Clearly off the backboard.

How are refs continuing to miss these? Then no challenge.

They need to be able to review those without a challenge. I've seen at least ONE mistake on goaltending per game.... Directly impacting the score.

Unacceptable at this level, with replay

No...we don't. That's pure mythology. Have picked up some nice corporate matching funds though...which is why you may see Momcilovich back next season!

Says the Clown fan who claimed a regular season Big 12 football championship....something that does not exist.

Thank you.

Because, as you saw above, @The Big Z thinks otherwise, writing "Iowa State isn't winning because they have a billionaire bankrolling their program."

And @83Hawk wrote that "there is no reason why Iowa can’t get the quality of players Iowa State does."

They both think money is no factor in this!

And remember how we were able to land Bennett Stirtz? He took a pay cut to come to Iowa.

From the linked May 5, 2023 article:

A Kentucky Derby win would be a dream come true for Ankeny’s Dennis Albaugh. Albaugh mentioned that Otzelberger, a longtime Albaugh family friend, will attend the Kentucky Derby race.

“One of the greatest joys in life is being happy for the successes of others,” Otzelberger told The Register this week. “I’m extremely happy for Albaugh Stables. I couldn’t be more ecstatic for Jason and Dennis. “It’s an honor to tag along to the Derby with them.”

Kentucky was scoring the first 10 min when ISU couldnt, then they reversed roles for the final 30 min.

There was a 5 min stretch where neither St John's nor Kansas could make a bunny.
Kentucky got outrebounded, but what stood out to me were the 20 turnovers and allowing 9 steals. That's not valuing the ball.

Officiating sucks across the country. It's not just in the B1G.

And these are the best of the best?

Yikes.
