Lmao, I havent even mentioned Iowa in this entire discussion about football.
The winning team put up fewer than 19 in one quarter of your hawkeyes' regular season games last year.
This x1000, have Big Ten defenses been better in the past ten years? Absolutely. We're they much worse than the Big 12 this most recent year? Without a question yes they were.
Texas Tech has quite possibly the worst defense in college football every year. This is like trying to prove Iowa has a really good defense by saying they held Rutgers to 7 points.
No, it's more like saying the big ten has good defenses when they get to play against the worst power 5 offenses, and then only looking at those games where they play against bad offenses as proof. AKA jereseib logic.
So explain why Ohio State put up 45 at Oklahoma, or Iowa put up 45 against us. You guys are fighting a losing battle. If you want to talk small sample sizes I can play that game also.
I was talking about the fact that ISU held Tech to 10 points was more impressive than ISU hanging 66 on Tech.
You said that 19 points isn't enough to win a game and yet 4 of your hawkeyes' regular season games last fall were won by a team scoring fewer than 19 points.
Now that we can all agree the Big Ten defenses were terrible at football last year, let's get this thread back on track and talk about how much better ISU will be than Iowa next year at basketball.

With each update we’ve done to the 2017 rankings over the last two years, Iowa State-bound combo guard Lindell Wigginton has moved himself closer and closer to five-star status. When the final ranking of the senior class hits in late April, he’ll be the hardest to deny when it comes to making the jump from four to five-star status.
Currently ranked No. 31 overall in the 2017 Rivals150, Wigginton has spent the last two years putting up huge numbers for Oak Hill in the high school season and on the Adidas Gauntlet circuit during the spring and summer. Sure, there may be some concern about whether or not he projects as a true point guard or as more of an off-the-ball scorer at Iowa State, but his production, skill, toughness and consistency can’t be denied.
Positions and roles continue to change in basketball and the things that Wigginton does well – primarily score it off the dribble and drain contested jumps – not only translate to the Big 12 level, but are things that the Cyclones are going to need from him right away.
Others that continue to really make me think hard about a potential bump to five-star status are Alabama-bound shooting guard John Petty and Kentucky-bound point guard Shai Alexander. A 6-foot-5 two guard with versatile game, Petty has done a great job of erasing concerns regarding his consistency as a senior and he’s developed into a dangerous jump shooter.
Like Wigginton, Alexander is originally from Canada, and the long and athletic 6-foot-4 ball handler has huge upside. He’s still got to improve his jump shooting from beyond the three-point line but his size, athleticism, floor vision and ability to get to the spots he needs to be are reasons he’s going to get serious five-star consideration.

Thats funny cause I coulda sworn this was a basketball thread! I AM SO DUMB YOU GUYS!
Yeah, I would agree with that. It was a solid defensive performance, everybody puts up huge number on Tech though, since they dont recruit defenses.
