CAN WE GET ONE WITH THE OTHER? The Cyclones have played well on offense and defense for stretches this season, but have yet to do both at the same time.

WHEN WILL THIS TOPIC DIE. Uncle Rand-dawg thinks Darrell Bowie violated unwritten rules of locker room talk with his post-game comment.

HOOPS PREVIEW. The Cyclones take on the Delta Devils tonight.

UPDATES FROM CAMPBELL CLAUSE. The big man himself has updates on Cotton-Moya as well as our highly touted Junior College signings.

HOLD ON, WHAT? Two-time Wimbledon Champion Petra Kvitova was injured by some deranged person with a knife. The attacker, of course, injured her hand?

BUYER’S REMORSE. Well at least the Vikings and Texans tried.

PICKS. Week 16 is upon us, and that means big things for playoff hopefuls.
