Who's Playing

North Dakota @ No. 23 Iowa State

Current Records: North Dakota 5-3; Iowa State 5-1

What to Know

The North Dakota Fighting Hawks have enjoyed the comforts of home their last four games, but now they must head out on the road. They will take on the #23 Iowa State Cyclones at 8 p.m. ET Wednesday at James H. Hilton Coliseum. The Fighting Hawks should still be riding high after a victory, while Iowa State will be looking to regain their footing.

North Dakota strolled past the Cal State Fullerton Titans with points to spare on Sunday, taking the game 73-57.

Meanwhile, the matchup between Iowa State and the Connecticut Huskies on Sunday was not particularly close, with Iowa State falling 71-53. Center Osun Osunniyi put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 14 points. Osunniyi's performance made up for a slower contest against the North Carolina Tar Heels last Friday.

North Dakota is the clear underdog, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those interested in the spread don't face an easy decision since they are 4-2-1 ATS and the Cyclones 4-2.

The Fighting Hawks' win brought them up to 5-3 while Iowa State's loss pulled them down to 5-1. A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: North Dakota is stumbling into the matchup with the 53rd fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 11. 6 on average. To make matters even worse for North Dakota, Iowa State enters the matchup with 21 takeaways on average, good for seventh best in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked in the Cyclones' favor.

"While Barack Obama was playing basketball, Russia took over Crimea.

" The 44th President of the United States loves the game - he even got his face smashed on the court , also finished off this three-pointer and this "That's the only way I do it."

Obama again came up with trump cards: at the peak of his political career, basketball was an important part of his campaigns and his image.

No American president (well, maybe Dwight Eisenhower, who always hangs out on the golf courses) has been so associated with a particular sport. The former Illinois senator spoke about Jordan and Chicago, regularly appeared at Washington games, showed a deep knowledge of the game even in those witticisms that accompanied receptions at the White House, became close friends with LeBron James and Steph Curry, collected NCAA brackets, coached his daughter's school team . .. And there is a very strong suspicion that it was thanks to his efforts that the NBA abandoned all apoliticality and turned into a stronghold of the Democratic Party. Characteristically, even after he ceased to serve as President of the United States, Obama further strengthened relations with the NBA: he helped with the African League project and resolved the recent catastrophe with the boycott.

And, more importantly, Obama has always played a lot himself: often invited former NBA players to the White House court (he had to rebuild the space where tennis courts used to be), retired to basketball halls during voting days, constantly glowed with a basketball. At the end of his second term, Sports Illustrated journalist Alexander Wulff published an entire book on the subject: in Insolence on the Court: Basketball and the Obama Era, he talked about how the game helped the president "dispel all Republican speculation that Obama is an outsider, suspicious, and generally "hinging with terrorists" .

And, in fact, this viral throw in support of Biden already had a predecessor. A few months before the election in 2008, Obama spoke to the military in Kuwait, after which he took the ball and put it from behind the arc on the first attempt. A rather risky maneuver for a politician (his assistants at that moment were yelling: “No, no” ...) more than anything else spoke of supernatural self-confidence and endless charm.

Republican publications denounced that moment as typical rock star foppishness, and on Fox they could only make fun of their passion for basketball like this: “While Obama was filling the NCAA tournament bracket, Russia captured the Crimea.”

***

Obama has a rather complicated relationship with basketball.

While living in Hawaii in the 1970s, he played for the high school team that won the state championship. At the same time, adored basketball and was worried that he could not break into the starting five, and at the same time tried to quit basketball because of stereotypes linking the game and skin color .

His classmates interpreted it as comical.

“Obama is half black, half white, but no one cared about it: only he saw racism everywhere,” one of them recalled. “When he decided to break up with basketball, his father told him: “No, Barry, it's not that you're black. The thing is, you missed two shots in a row.”

In his own, everything is extremely serious.

In Dreams of My Father, Obama recalls how he lost his temper when a white woman he didn't know in a supermarket asked him if he played basketball, even though he naturally played basketball. But then he increasingly paid attention to the fact that sport not only draws boundaries between people, but also erases these boundaries: his white friends all wanted to play like Julius Irving. “At least on the basketball court, I was able to find a circle of close people. Just where being black was no disadvantage, I found 's best white friends."

Approximately the same hesitations Obama experienced when choosing between the names Barack and Barry (or Barry Bombardier, as the basketball players called him).

The playground was a place where everyone got what they deserved, and at the same time a space where it was impossible not to think about racial differences.

***

Basketball became part of Obama's political career as if by accident. While fighting for the Democratic nomination, he suddenly realized that the game is the best way to get rid of stress.

“He called us the night before the Iowa Democratic congressional vote,” said Alexi Janoulis, a former Illinois treasurer. - He says: “I want to play tomorrow. Can you find the hall? There shouldn't be anyone there. At the same time, so that you don’t have to go anywhere.” I answer him: “How do you imagine that by the morning I found you a gym in Des Moines, Iowa? You want me to find you a basketball gym a few blocks from here in a state I don't know anything about…” And he says, “Yeah, can you do it?” "Of course not".

I ended up calling literally the only dude I knew in Iowa. He told me: "I know a great place. "

And so we come to this hall - there is a dusty floor, it is terribly cold. We don't even have ten people, so we had to hire a guy who let us in there and swept the floors there. We ran, and in a state where 92% of the population is white, he won.

Then we didn't go to the New Hampshire site. And there he lost.

After that he said: “That's it, this will be our tradition. We will play every election day" .

***

When Obama moved to Washington, the playground in the White House was converted into basketball especially for him.

It was a legendary place for sports.

“We came to the White House after winning the NCAA championship in 2009,” Maya Moore recalled. - Everyone is so smart, in shoes, dresses. And here he leads us somewhere along the alley. We do not quite understand where, and then bam - a basketball court! We look around, and there is an agent behind every tree. We all think: “What is going on?!” I don't remember who came up with it, but I suspect that he himself, since he is famous for his trash talk. In general, he made us play three points with him. I never look for excuses, but I must say that he was on his home court and we played in heels. Throughout the entire season in 2009, we did not suffer a single defeat, and he took and beat us . I'm still mad at him. He set it all up on purpose! He congratulated us, reminded us of our achievements, and then took us into the yard and beat us. And then I go and think: “Are we really so fooled now ?!”

One of the most famous games with Obama took place there. LeBron James, Chris Paul, Derrick Rose, Joaquim Noah, Shane Battier, Alonzo Mourning, Magic Johnson and Maia Moore gathered at the White House for his 50th birthday. They were watched by Kobe Bryant and Bill Russell.

“Chris Paul defended against the President in the first possession. Obama took a few steps to the right, then switched the ball to his left hand, walked and passed behind him to Pau Gasol, said Obama campaign treasurer Marty Nesbitt. – It was amazing. I teased Chris about it after that. He replied: “Listen, I'm the best steal in the NBA. If I wanted to, then…” And I told him: “Of course, but you didn’t expect him to be so good, right? He surprised you." He didn't expect Barak to play so well."

“Kobe Bryant was then recovering from injury and not playing,” adds Obama's senior adviser David Axelrod. But he was sitting on a bench. And the president did everything then, he was allowed to do what he wants. Then Kobe called Chris over to him: “You are the most mischievous little motherfucker in the entire league, and you are afraid to approach this dude two meters. Play basketball! Take the ball from him."

***

Obama's charm worked for everyone, so that over time, in the stories of eyewitnesses, his basketball skills appeared more and more advanced.

Former NBA commissioner David Stern was quick to reassure everyone: “ I'm a Democrat. Moreover, I am a fierce supporter of the Democratic Party. But Obama is not as good as everyone says .

We know how Obama looked at school.

“He was very athletic, great at running and jumping,” explained former coach Mike Zinn. – He didn’t attack very well from behind the arc. Speaking in basketball terms, you can say that he played like a "slasher", played from the pass. Moreover, he is a pronounced left-hander; he cannot pass to the right side.

And he had a flair - he always won controversial balls, took rebounds. If he scored 10 points in a match, then most of them were scored from under the basket. He also defended very well."

Even if we take into account that with age Obama has added to the throw, his other skills have remained at the same level.

"He's fine for his age," ESPN writer Andy Katz analyzed his performance. “He likes to hold the ball, he passes well, and he approaches shots with great care. He doesn’t carry the ball, nor does he always try to attack…

It's quite sharp. I would not say that he runs fast from ring to ring, but in attack he can get away from the guardian and get the ball under the ring.

Most importantly, I didn't get the feeling that he was the weak link. He tries not to let the others down."

Well, Obama also has some complexes connected with his legs. He always plays in pants - as they suspect, he is afraid to show limbs that are too skinny for a basketball player, “chicken legs”.

***

The most important thing is, of course, not Obama's skills themselves, but the emotions that accompanied his game. The President - according to stories - did not tolerate when they acted half-heartedly with him, brought his rivals with trash talk, was too worried about the results and repeatedly received from too tough rivals.

“The first time we played with him, I had to hold him,” recalled Arthur Jackson, founder of One on One Basketball Inc. - The game was very tough: we won two matches, they won two. I will never forget how the president says here: “So, no one goes home, we play to win.” We cut further, the score was 18:15, and we played until 21. And then we scored a three-pointer - it felt like we had become the champions of America. Everyone jumped for joy. When I turned around, the president came up to us and said, "Congratulations guys." He shook hands with us. And he added: "But let's play again."

“One time he sprained his ankle, and everyone was like, “E-mae,” and sort of went around,” said actor Don Cheadle. “And he looks around and says, ‘So, what’s going on? I didn't say you could stop. Let's play on."

The first time I played him, Grant Heslov was defending against him, and he didn't really defend against him. I did not think that it was necessary to cut him without fail, but I told him so: "Foli on him." "But it's the president himself." I told him: “What are you talking about? He stepped onto the platform. He wants to play. Do you want to change?" "No, everything is fine." “Then act! Foley on it!" Obama laughed. Then we crossed paths with him at some event. He comes up to me and says to my wife: “The last time I saw Don, he pointed at me and said to the guy: “Fole on him!” “That's right, Mr. President. That's exactly what I said." "Yeah, it's a pity he didn't do anything."

“We were playing in the FBI building one morning,” Obama adviser John Rice said. “And then comes journalist Michael Lewis. Everyone thought that he would just watch, because he hung out with the president for several days. But he went out on the floor. And so he throws out a “draft”, shrugs his shoulders, apologizes. The other team picks up the ball and scores from under the basket, and then the president ... explodes - not the right word, but he was wildly furious because Michael did not run to the defense. He started yelling at him for not fighting and letting everyone else down. Not because of the "draft", but because it exacerbated the error. And the guy at the same time wrote an article for Vanity Fair about the president, but he did not give him a descent.

“We had the opportunity to play with Durant just as he was the World Championship MVP,” Arthur Jackson recalled. “They came along with James Harden and Eric Maynor. Manor and Durant played for the president, Dantay Jones and Harden were on Reggie's team. After four matches the score is 2-2, we are playing the fifth one. We're running 19:11, here Obama changes. Suddenly Harden starts bombing from the center - three, three more. Here the score is already 19:19. What to do in such a situation? Naturally, they gave the ball to Durant. He remains one on one against Harden, starts to beat him - but Harden takes the ball away, runs away, puts a lay-up. We lost. Then I lost for the first time, speaking with the president for one team. Everyone is in shock. Obama comes out and says, "When I left the court, we were driving 19:11, we only needed one ball, we have an MVP on the court, and we couldn't win? Is this some kind of joke?"

“In that 50th birthday game, Obama pissed Noah off,” said David Axelrod. - He teased him because of the throw, let's say, an unorthodox form. The President said: "Who taught you to throw like that?" "I've never seen anything uglier in my life. " At some point, Noah decided: "Yeah, let's see how you throw" . And he just strangled the president in defense - he couldn’t take a step at all.”

***

The most famous moment in Obama's basketball career, however, was playing with his family and close associates in 2010. Then he abruptly turned around to quit, and rested on the elbow of Ray Deserega, director of programs at the Institute of Political Science of Latin America.

He received 12 stitches in his upper lip. And the news spread beyond sports sites.

“I was trying to win space. And then I look: the blood of the President of the United States is on my elbow,” the offender explained. “Before my elbow went into his face, I thought it was a defensive foul. After that, I only thought about the fact that the president was bleeding. The Secret Service did not knock me down, there was nothing like that, but they surrounded the president, and one of the agents looked at me so expressively. Like, “Do you even understand what you’ve done?!” Yes, I understood” .

There were several such situations in the president's career: he was severely stopped and thrown to the parquet, he was beaten on the ribs ... But it came to blood only once.

***

Obama became president when he was not yet 50. By the end of his term, he went out on the floor less and less.

“I got to the point where basketball stopped being fun,” he explained. “I’m not that good anymore, and it’s frustrating. I never played really great, but I played okay and took the game seriously. And now I just turned into an old dude who is trying to get somewhere in time. I play with guys much younger. They pity me, sympathize with me. They tolerate me, but I know I'm the weak link on the set. And I don't like being the weak link of ."

Obama left basketball and discovered golf.

But that was after.

***

His presidency is unthinkable without an orange ball.

In his book, Alexander Wulff insists that basketball is one way for Obama to show himself as real, to show himself as he really is. And his history of relationship with the game - from rejecting racial stereotypes to finding himself in it - is quite revealing.

He liked to talk about it himself.

“It seems to me that you can tell a lot about people if you see how they play basketball. For example, there are those who throw and throw, although they do not know how to do it at all. By this tendency to self-deceive in the game, you can reveal something in the person outside the game.

His associates also liked to talk about this.

“He plays very smart. Quite often it was the case that he did not attack throughout the game, and then took over the final throws. There are guys who like to leave at the beginning of matches, and then, when it smells like fried, they disappear. But he's just the opposite. He is ready for the decisive throw - he does not force it, he will never throw from a difficult position: but after combinations, after jerks, after trying to play a partner, he will suddenly open or go into the passage after a feint.

This seems to say a lot about his character. When a point-for-point game is in progress, he tends to get the ball in his hands. Loves moments like this .”
