The "Dave Sprau" curse was certainly in full effect in the first half of Iowa State's Big 12 Tournament quarterfinal game against Oklahoma Thursday. The Cyclones made just one three-pointer on 12 attempts in the first 20 minutes and their defense looked just as lost. Oh but the Cyclones rallied in the second half, carried almost entirely by Will Clyburn and Melvin Ejim. Clyburn's seven straight points was part of a 12-0 Cyclones run that gave ISU the lead after Ejim busted his tail in every way to keep the Cyclones afloat. Chris Babb stepped up with a clutch three to help salt th egame away and ISU could party like it's 2005, the last time they won a Big 12 tourney game and, coincidently, the last Big 12 tourney before I became sports director for this very station. You'd better believe I'm glad to get that monkey off my back and you'd better believe I'll have a thing or two to say to ol' Mel in the morning on tomorrow's show. So, by the way, will our buddy Georges Niang...

A little bit about me....
I've been Sports Director at News/Talk 1430 KASI since December 2005. I graduated from Iowa State just a few months before that. My career has also taken me to such exotic locals as Estherville, and Storm Lake, Iowa, Owatonna, Minnesota, and Silver City, New Mexico (long story-don't ask). I've also had the pleasure of working part-time at WOI Radio in Ames and WHO Radio in Des Moines while I was a student.

I'm a native of Maplewood, Minnesota, a suburb of St. Paul. It was there that I was inflicted with the curse of being a Minnesota Vikings fan. There is still no known cure, though many times I wish there was. I'm also an avid follower of the Minnesota Twins and of course, the Iowa State Cyclones.
