Forgot to post this this morning.

Good win. Thought we were going to blow it but the guys never gave up.

Completely perplexed by Otz's choice to take Ward, the most impactful player on the floor for us, out of the game the last few minutes. Just a terrible decision, especially having both Jones and King on the floor at the same time.

That shot by Milan was Biblical.

Then God created Milan, and he said it was good.

Rough second half offensively, but it was against the #1 defense in the country. Nice of them to grind out the win.

Best $5 bet I've ever lost.

I mean players do get tired...not sure why you have to 2nd guess every decision he makes.

Tre was awesome, we'll need similar from him every night. He, Jones and Ward held their own against a big, athletic, physical, talented frontcourt.

Free drinks at wallaby's!

Oh man, now I want Wallaby's.

Is Houston the last undefeated team remaining?

Not any more!

Sure glad ESPN decided to put Kentucky - Missouri on their flag ship station. At least we weren’t on ESPN+

When was the last time we defeated a #2 team??

The stretch were King dominated on both ends saved us from that rough stretch.

Really was a balanced team effort. Gilbert will get knocked but he locked down Cryer. That dude usually salivates when he sees Hilton on the schedule.

A great win for Iowa State Universi-D.

All of our guys have offensive limitations but you can never fault their effort and the leadership of guys like Tamin and Tre. I didn't think that Ward would be so much better this year - I wish he could've played in Orlando.

And that baseline fade-away was a Bird-esque piece of art.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

I'm normally as optimistic as they come, but I'm worried about Houston's aggressive play at every level causing us fits offensively.

Gonna say 76-62 Houston. I look forward to quoting this post later and calling myself an idiot for doubting Hilton Magic.

Look at this idiot. JK

Iowa State made their last 11 free throws in a row (Ward's technically doesn't count as a miss) to go 18-22 on the night. That's how you win B12 games.

 

[Kinch]

Milan’s shot at the end was a lot like Larry Bird.

Just saw your comment Istatethetruth

 

[CycloneVet]

Not that anyone cares but that airhorn that went off during Milan's first game icing FT was definitely an illegal noisemaker, and whoever that fan is should be fined and caned.

And beat up

It's what it does.

Smart. They have the athletes and the length to bottle him up when they pick and choose their spots wisely (which they mostly have).

Sampson is much butter af coaching the trap than Otz.

He has better athletes.
