It’s the best time of the year,
I don’t know if there’ll be snow
But have a cup of Cheer!…..


Eastern Illinois 56
Iowa State 91

Go Cyclones!

I looked up the box score out of curiosity and saw Iowa had two players shoot 0-7 from 3 point which is basically the same as a bunch of turnovers.

My strategy is don't have two high volume 3pt shooters make zero 3s.

Looks like they shot 21% from 3 and 62% from the free throw line. That won't beat many teams if you don't play defense.

Boo because?

He has ISU not scoring more than 85 pts.

 

[inCyteful]

Exactly.

Only thing in the tank now is




Rot

I predict an "off" night.

Should we panic now, or hold off a while?

 

[Cupped]

Looking at EIU's schedule I noticed they beat the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy Eutectics 112-50 on December 2. Even the Hoks could beat HSPE, or at least make it close.

Cyclones bring the state bragging rights back home 91-65.

I love how TJ has all five of these guys playing super-intense defense in this mid-December buy-game.

 

[CycloneErik]

Can't be missing a shot. They'll think they can stay in this thing.

 

[rosshm16]

Pretty move!

 

[madguy30]

Lipsey with a behind the back out of necessity.

Might be the first time I've ever seen that.

 

[rosshm16]

Milan may not be the quickest defender in the world but I like how active he is and he seems to be a capable rebounder.

 

[ISUKyro]

OK, enough letting them think they can hang with us. Time to turn it on

 

[Cyched]

Happy to see CJ find his shot the past few games. Need him to be a threat in conference play.

 

[Cupped]

CuJo Bang! Bang!

 

[GTO]

I like this version of Curtis Jones the past couple of weeks.

 

[ISUKyro]

CuJo launching daggers!!
3s away!

 

[xboxfever]

Curtis Jones is starting to heat up the last few games. Hope he can keep it up come conference play.

EIU looks fairly skilled and seasoned.

Getting this far into the season, these 'buy' teams don't flinch.

They've been beaten handily by a few decent teams but not 50'd.
