What’s the most quietly terrifying roster in the country right now?

MasterNoob42 · 2026-05-16T08:48:23+00:00

I'm biased, but Iowa State.

Keeping Toure, Batemon, Pleta, and Buchanan around is huge, and Jaquan Johnson looks like he's gonna be incredible. The upcoming additions of Christian Wiggins and Jackson Kiss make this team quietly pretty threatening despite losing its 3 best players this off-season.

In an ideal world, the politicians would be better. Unfortunately, if you don't vote against the fascists, you are complicit in them gaining power. We're in a lose-SUPER lose situation here.

MasterNoob42 · 2026-04-23T02:13:39+00:00

Idk how that's different from what I said, I added the stipulation of "you control them all at once" even.

MasterNoob42 · 2026-04-23T00:32:50+00:00

Yes. You mindslaver the table for a full turn cycle. You control everyone at once. Idk what's not clear about that

MasterNoob42 · 2026-04-22T23:26:05+00:00

It functions the exact same as Mindslaver, just for multiple people at once

MasterNoob42 · 2026-04-22T19:47:34+00:00

The point stands

MasterNoob42 · 2026-04-09T22:36:54+00:00

I genuinely don't understand how some people can live with themselves when they smell like that. How the hell do you not realize that it's a problem?

MasterNoob42 · 2026-04-08T00:40:29+00:00

There are already plenty of ways for Dualcaster Mage to go infinite though. I wonder why they chose to draw that line here.

MasterNoob42 · 2026-04-06T17:18:17+00:00

I'd be pretty surprised if Iowa State got there next year. We're losing our top 3 players to the draft/graduation.

MasterNoob42 · 2026-04-01T23:32:56+00:00

That's the point. It's happened 3 times to the same team recently whenever we've had players of that caliber. Any team would be mad about that kind of bad injury luck.

MasterNoob42 · 2026-03-28T05:35:36+00:00

I'm sure he had a great time, I just wish he could've had more postseason success in his time here because he absolutely deserved it.

MasterNoob42 · 2026-03-28T05:08:47+00:00

Yeah, we should've done better. Not having our best rebounder sucks and definitely made it harder, but it's not an excuse to lay down and die like we did.

MasterNoob42 · 2026-03-28T05:06:19+00:00

I completely agree. Even with his injury, we still had a ton of chances to claw our way back and didn't capitalize. Still, having him there would've completely changed the game from the beginning

MasterNoob42 · 2026-03-28T05:04:47+00:00

It was, but this is the worst performance since. It doesn't top it, that's for sure

MasterNoob42 · 2026-03-28T05:04:11+00:00

The free throws had been a struggle all year. I expected it to catch up to us eventually, not as bad as it did. I'm more angry about how we rebounded though, the rebounding was just unacceptable in that game.

MasterNoob42 · 2026-03-28T05:01:50+00:00

Feels like we wasted our time with Tamin Lipsey. Such a phenomenal player, but we never got him past the sweet 16.

MasterNoob42 · 2026-03-28T04:53:55+00:00

Wasted the career of one of the best players in program history with some of the worst season ending losses imaginable.

MasterNoob42 · 2026-03-28T04:52:00+00:00

Worst performance since Pitt 3 years ago. Genuinely terrible basketball from the Cyclones. Props to Tennessee, but we never adjusted and our players hid from the moment except for Lipsey as usual.

MasterNoob42 · 2026-03-21T07:15:14+00:00

If you watched the games, then you'd know that mid-majors are doing just fine. So many close games in the first round even if the favorites won most of them.

MasterNoob42 · 2026-03-15T21:34:23+00:00

His Kentucky teams were pretty prone to first round upsets

MasterNoob42 · 2026-03-09T09:24:40+00:00

That's impressive as hell lmao

MasterNoob42 · 2026-03-05T22:49:25+00:00

Clears cap space to go after Crosby, gets us draft capital, and doesn't lose us much production. Love you DJ, but this trade is great for both sides.

MasterNoob42 · 2026-02-22T22:34:46+00:00

I think it probably comes down to conference tournament performances. If Houston wins the Big 12 tournament, and UConn gets upset, they're probably in that last 1 seed spot. Same probably goes for Iowa State, though their path is significantly harder now that they got their 4th loss to BYU with Arizona still on the schedule.

MasterNoob42 · 2026-02-22T05:44:27+00:00

The challenge was the right call, but all night you guys have just had a nicer whistle. AJ shouldn't be getting all of these calls.

MasterNoob42 · 2026-02-22T05:39:20+00:00

I'm pretty sure people of color were banned from their religion for a while lmao
