First, the good: The Cyclones played a stellar half of basketball in the first half, putting the game away in the first 10 minutes. They led KSU 38-19 at the half, then came out and mustered only 19 point of their own in the second. The 15 point margin belies how out of reaach the game felt for the entire night.
My only quibbles: coming out of the under-4 TO, there were still 4 starters on the floor, including ISU's most important player, Homan. Sure, he got yanked a minute later, but if he could sit at 3 minutes, he should have been sitting at 4.
I know, it's not like ISU goes 12 deep right now, so it's hard to empty the bench without breaking out guys who are only a pair of free shoes away from intermurals, but I suspect Agnew could have learned more in a couple minutes than Jared did.
The bad news? Dave Armstrong announced that he has been renewed for next season.
As Dave would say, Wow.
Dave's a genuinely nice guy, from the very limited time I've been around him. He brings a bunch of enthusiasm to the broadcast. But his forced jokes, puns and play on words make me wince 4 or 5 times a game. "Stinson's teardrop makes the Wildcats cry!" Ouch.
He's like that friend we all have who REALLY wants to be an emcee at any gathering, to hold that mic, and be loved. He tries so hard, but it's just painful.
And ISU gets another season of it. I had no idea we were that far down the TV food chain. Who does Dave have naked pictures of?
