Hopefully all of our players play. Do we expect some players not to play? Last time we had two that could not play.

I wonder also. I guess we'll find out at gametime.

Glad the first game out of the shoot from the long layoff is a home game against ISU (hope I don't ultimately regret that statement).

Probably a little bit of truth to that, but mostly coach speak.

These guys are in terrific shape; 2-3 weeks is not going wreck them unless they went completely nuts.

At least a few studies show that taking two weeks off from resistance training doesn't lead to loss of muscle mass. Conditioning is different, but it's similar.

They may not have had team practice but I find it hard to believe they did ZERO fitness during this ridiculous layoff period.

That hurts if Flo gets in foul trouble, which he usually does.

Ugh - any other opponent would make me gravely concerned, this one, not so much. Hope I'm right...

Glad this game is against Iowa St. Hopefully some buckets start to drop.

Do we know why Iowa St is doing so poorly this season? Are they just young?

I think few expected different. Hopefully we can shake off the rust by the second half. The last two offensive possessions were rough, but most of the others were just fine other than missing the open shots.

This isn't looking good
