The Mid-Morning Dump - 1/30/12

SCOTTY! The Pastey Assassin has turned into a leader for the Cyclones, evidenced by the team's composure in the upset of #5 Kansas.

OH, SO YOU'RE TELLING ME MCDERMOTT WAS NO GOOD? SI's Rob Dauster says "Iowa State is as good as it has been since Marcus Fizer, Jamaal Tinsley and Larry Eustachy left town."

BRACKETOLOGY. SB Nation now has the Cyclones in the 12 seed play-game game, while ESPN is still lazy and doesn't feel like updating Iowa State's last four in status as of post time.(Update: Iowa State is now a solid #12 seed, no longer on last four in status)

AGGIE'D. The Iowa State women lost a close one to Texas A&M yesterday, 66-64. Chelsea Poppens led the way with 22 points and 9 rebounds.

WANT TO SEE KEITON PAGE MAKE A 360 BETWEEN THE LEGS DUNK? Just kidding... he got rejected in epic fashion.

THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE GETTING, SEC. While I can certainly appreciate the Kansas hate, this "We Are Mizzou" music video is just terrible.
