Just asking...why is the Senior Ceremony after the game?

Basically comes down to, it is how Pedon wants to do it. He mentioned on the coach's show this week that he preferred go do it like they did at Ohio St, so after the game. I feel like he made it sound like it will be more than just them walking on to the court. Women's basketball honors the seniors before but then invites everyone to the legend room to listen to the seniors speak. Men's basketball use to do after the game and let players speak. Anyone that was there for Rob Gibbons senior speech remembers that.

My concern is that there might not be that many fans hanging around post game. Maybe a pre-game event could be used to up the crowd. Just a thought.

Congrats to Sissoko. Senior night for guys who have been on campus less than a year. I guess I'm getting old but what a joke.

Not really a joke. Guys still complete one of there goals they personally set by going to college. I’m 54 and will graduate from online studies in May myself in Data Analytics. So kudos to them I’d say.

Congrats, Pops! That’s a great accomplishment. And data analytics isn’t for slouches. Tough field with tons of potential. Best of luck!

Just win, that’s really all there is to this game today. Send the seniors out with a win and let’s see where the chips fall in St. Louis.

I’d like to see a win in St. Louis, just to check that box. Get this staff’s first STL win out of the way before heading into next year.

Glad Sandage got to suit up and start, it’s a shame injury really curtailed his homecoming.

I can’t understand a single thing this PA announcer says. It really hinders the gameday experience.

GameDay experience needs a complete revamp.

First half: uggh! Second half: Good

Knight with a good senior day performance. Nice to see Colton get a three in final minute.

Exactly, good second half, agree on Knight and Sandage both.

That senior day presentation tells me everything I need to know about Coach Pedon. The epitome of class, it was fantastically well done to celebrate our seniors.

Well said.

I was a little skeptical of the Senior ceremony after the game - but, it turned out fine. The video presentation for each player was a nice touch. Several recruits and their parents stayed for the whole thing.

 

[Dmills]

Notable from the Senior day ceremony was how Sandage and Knight both said something to the effect of "Coach Pedon kept his word on what he sold them during recruitment and they hadn't experienced that before".

Also, I don't know where Sandage is at in his education or if Betz and Hicks are sticking around next year, but I would love to see him in a grad assistant role with this being the end of his playing career and given his love for ISU.

Kendall Lewis with his 5th double double in the last six games ... thats the consistency we need from him.

Nice win for the seniors

Didn't mention this before because it was so trivial, but the first home game that I could attend after my hospitalizations was the UNI game at the end of December and as soon as I heard the P.A. announcer I thought that he sounded very similar to the Arch Madness EnterptiseCenter P.A. announcer.
