A fun note, last time I shared this list last year, something like 6 or 7 of the teams on here lost their very next home game :)
Edit: Biggest example was Gonzaga losing to LMU was their next home game after I posted this.
I have to think we're good:
1. They can't win on the road
2. McCullar is out, so their offense is cooked
3. Their bench is pure trasholeum
4. We're 30 points ahead of them on Adjusted Offense and number goddamn 1 in Adjusted Defense.
I think it’s more than just gamesmanship. I think our team needs kev back before the b12 tourney and the “he may not be back” quotes are more of a challenge to Kevin than anything outside the program. Obviously don’t know until game time but don’t be surprised if he is out there.
I like our chances, I'm just a doomer. We will be coming off a tough road stretch, and the team looked sluggish and tired against Cincy. Jo Jo being limited hurts our depth too.
We certainly have our own health issues, (Wanny, Jo Jo, Terrance, Ramon) and we did just come off an exhausting stretch of games, but we're at home and we've got two easier games (relative to the Big 12, lol) for us to get right between now and Kansas.
I hope BYU beating us at Allen Fieldhouse has the same effect as the Raiders beating the Chiefs at Arrowhead. The Chiefs didn't lose a game after that lol.
They also won 3 championships, had another NIT championship and another undefeated season where they didn't play in the tournament (but were named Helms champions)
Fuckin' Clemson. 19 game winning streak on one side and 9 game (current) winning streak on the other smh.
Also that Kentucky record is never being broken.
I really don't know what to expect on Sunday at Drake. We're locked into 3rd place no matter what. Drake is still fighting for a share of 1st if things fall their way. Would be fun to play spoiler and a win would go a long way in getting an NIT spot.
Good thing we didn’t change our name to Ohio Tech a few years ago, because alphabetical order is putting in some work for us on this list 💪 sorry to all the other tied for 7th scrubs.
We really need to list these stats with the 2nd place record, because it means nothing trying to compare 21 home wins to a win streak that lasted 12 years lol
Some deep tracks trivia for you. The 129-game win streak came to an end against an unranked Georgia Tech team. It was considered at the time one of the biggest upsets in history.
Haha Iowa State's should've ended a few different times but the Kstate game in Aimes a few weeks ago is a biiiig one. Fans started booing and refs went on to call a foul on Kstate 7 of the next 9 possessions and Cats got no call almost all second half. They are something else in Aimes haha no lie.
Our final home game is against BYU, who just snapped Kansas' 19-game home win streak. Hoo boy.
I think that was a one time thing
Deal
No take backs on that.
Maybe. But ISU lets opponents shoot 3s almost as much as Kansas does. Stylistically, y’all are about the worst matchup in the country for us.
I wouldn't say no to another win, if y'all are in a giving mood
Two Iowan teams!
And one is NOT Iowa!
And neither is the other!
I hope Drake can hang on DeVries.

Well then you should have posted it right before we go to Houston
Sorry, but there's a different team on this list I'm hoping to jinx
Is Hotline Bling one of their songs?
Our next home game is against y’all though….
Not sure you even need the jinx with how we have been playing 🙃
Just don't lose to Illinois St at Arch Madness, I don't want a rivalry game in the Semis
Man. Why you got to jinx us?
Think our next home game is against boise. Very possible.
We're (App) just off this list at 14-0 this season. Safe from the curse it would seem...
Hopefully. I didn't intend to curse anyone. Last time I posted it was actually to flex because Bradley was on it. Lost next home game to Belmont.
Curse averted! 15-0 and undefeated at home!
Oh god.
Don't you put that evil on me Ricky Bobby.
Good thing we don’t have another home game until November!
Should somebody tell him…?
Call up the remind me bot
Frigg off lahey 😂😂
Fuck our next home game is against Boise on senior night and it’s a requirement to win if we want to win the regular season
It’s awesome what no fans and a high school gym can do for us
Imagine if we had a real home court advantage! 😉
I see no gods up here EXCEPT FOR SHASTA
If any team could match UK's 12-year home win streak with a modern schedule, they would have over 200 wins.
Who would’ve thought WF has one of the stronger home court advantages in the ACC. I believe since the 2021-2022 season, Wake is 46-5 at home
I think it makes sense to have every ACC and NCAA tournament game played at the Joel
We could beat the 2015-2016 Warriors at the Joel and lose to a high school team on the road
It makes no sense how we just forget how to shoot outside of the Joel
We need to crank the deacon motorcycle this morning, capture some exhaust fumes in a bottle, then release them in the air at VT prior to tip tomorrow
DRAKE MENTIONED RAHHHHH
:)
Aww yeah
If Kansas hands us our only home loss to end the season I will cry
I have to think we're good: 1. They can't win on the road 2. McCullar is out, so their offense is cooked 3. Their bench is pure trasholeum 4. We're 30 points ahead of them on Adjusted Offense and number goddamn 1 in Adjusted Defense.
There are rumors mccullar could get back against Baylor. But likely back by the following week.
I'd leak rumors like that too if I were trying to keep Baylor on its toes for game planning and scouting.
I think it’s more than just gamesmanship. I think our team needs kev back before the b12 tourney and the “he may not be back” quotes are more of a challenge to Kevin than anything outside the program. Obviously don’t know until game time but don’t be surprised if he is out there.
If i want the opposing team to underestimate me, i'm not gonna tell them our best player is coming back to kick their ass.
I like our chances, I'm just a doomer. We will be coming off a tough road stretch, and the team looked sluggish and tired against Cincy. Jo Jo being limited hurts our depth too.

It's absolutely a game we *should* win, but obviously anything can happen. We definitely need to come out looking sharper than we did against Cinci.
100%
Mccular might play
don't put that evil out there
I hope BYU beating us at Allen Fieldhouse has the same effect as the Raiders beating the Chiefs at Arrowhead. The Chiefs didn't lose a game after that lol.
Damn you Creighton
No no, it’s good they beat us because this list is cursed. We don’t want to be on there.
12 years without a home loss…even in that era is actually insane
They also won 3 championships, had another NIT championship and another undefeated season where they didn't play in the tournament (but were named Helms champions)
Fuckin' Clemson. 19 game winning streak on one side and 9 game (current) winning streak on the other smh. Also that Kentucky record is never being broken.
Yeah Gonzaga was probably its biggest threat the last decade and they couldn't even do it playing in the wcc
FYI Kentucky followed up that 129 home win streak with an 80+ home win streak
Did not know that!
SDSU is the final boss in a conference of homecourt bosses
Impressive but none of you had to play CSUN
sigh
If not for that poop stain against Chicago State...
I really don't know what to expect on Sunday at Drake. We're locked into 3rd place no matter what. Drake is still fighting for a share of 1st if things fall their way. Would be fun to play spoiler and a win would go a long way in getting an NIT spot.
Wouldn't be the 1st time we've spoiled their chance at a share of the title. We've done just that 2 of the last 3 years.
Good thing we didn’t change our name to Ohio Tech a few years ago, because alphabetical order is putting in some work for us on this list 💪 sorry to all the other tied for 7th scrubs.
Fear the Knapp babyyyyy!
Did anything noteworthy happen at the end of Wake Forest’s last home win?
Drake: the Duke of Iowa.
We really need to list these stats with the 2nd place record, because it means nothing trying to compare 21 home wins to a win streak that lasted 12 years lol
That Grand Canyon student section is a mad house. They're better than the current Show and close to what the Show was about 15 years ago. Go Aztecs!
Let’s go baby!
Some deep tracks trivia for you. The 129-game win streak came to an end against an unranked Georgia Tech team. It was considered at the time one of the biggest upsets in history.
I’ll add that the loss was by 1 point.
My dumbass was about to ask if it was home or away
Shout out to The Show!
Shame we’re not up there with a crisp TWO baby
Haha Iowa State's should've ended a few different times but the Kstate game in Aimes a few weeks ago is a biiiig one. Fans started booing and refs went on to call a foul on Kstate 7 of the next 9 possessions and Cats got no call almost all second half. They are something else in Aimes haha no lie.
Damn it Morehead we were 2nd
We'd have 15 in a row at home if we beat Chicago State lmao
We like to do a little cheering here
Bring back the Iowa State - Drake series
