"if you win your home games and win on the road.. you know 5 and 4 on the road... you're going to have a chance at 14- 4. i think 13, 14 wins because of how good this league is... i think is going to put you right there." it's been over a month since the panther men have won back to back games -- - they've been on a win -- loss pattern since november 30th -- so if it stays true u-n-i should beat missouri state on wednesday -- but ben jacobson isn't a fan of that papaern -- he wants consecutivivwins, but knows the pattern isn't all bad for his panthers. "i will tell you this... there's some good and bad in and neutral games we've played to be gogog bbk and forth and not have consecutive losses, there's a lot of good in that with the schedule that we've had. and i thinkhat's a rea positive. we've jt got to get as we've talked about here today again... and we are getting there, we've got to be more consista

steve prohm could use a signature moment at iowa state, and an early opportunity tonight. prohm can do something no coach years: beat the #1 team in america. of the most successful cyclone coaches in the modern era, the late johnny orr went zero for six against #1 teams. tim floyd oh for three. larry eustachy oh for two, and fred hoiberg had just one shot, but isu lost. this photo shows the most recent isu win over #1. the cyclones upset kansas with wilt chamberlain, 39-37. 2 player of the year candidates. georges niang and buddy hield 1at half monte morris drives, layup good. cyclones up 2. later morris up top to jameel mckay. alley oop. isu down 3. sooners keep rolling with hield. 3 later morris up top to jameel mckay. alley oop. isu down 3. sooners keep rolling with hield. 3 ball. 15-12 ou. niang starts to take over. spin, inside off glass. 21-19 isu. off glass. 21-19 isu. then its abdel nader. baseline for 2. isu still up 1. morris drives, blocked, but right to niang. buries the 3. 32-31 isu. niang on the break, goes glass again. isu up 3. just before half. morris hits
