Today was our second Iowa State Men's Basketball game of the regular season. It was a fairly sparse crowd, student section included, but that's not too surprising given that it was a Sunday afternoon and the game was not expected to be close. It wasn't, as Iowa State won without any real challenge, 74-47. We continue to be excited about the up-tempo style of play, and hopefully the numerous newcomers to the team this year will continue to gel and play well together.
The pep band was there in full force, as they are for every men's and women's game, and they added their usual spiciness to the mix. Along with the music, they also bring out some trademarked chants when the opposing team is shooting free throws, like yelling "the ball is bigger than the basket", or singing "You're not gonna make it" to the tune of Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It." And finally, perhaps most off the wall, they occasionally chant "Block that kick! Block that kick!"
I love ISU basketball!
