*** Official #24 IOWA STATE vs #20 BYU Game(Day) Thread ***

[IcSyU]

Didn't Haws play against the Hoiberg teams? If he thought they were physical Otz teams are the Bad Boy Pistons.

 

[Big_Sill]

We have more turnovers, if that stat holds we lose.

 

[CYDJ]

Super slo mo on the last Johnson 3 shows a SOLID 3 steps (MAYBE 4) with no dribble before jumping and shooting. hmmmm...

Hard to see him at he top of the key though.

Thought it looked fishy live. You can just FEEL a travel like that.

 

[CycloneJoe6]

If you would have told me at half we'd shoot 60% from three and they'd shoot 36% from three, I'd have bet we'd be winning. Kind of strange.

Keep up the good shooting and maybe we can pull this one out. Would be a good win.

We need to take more 3’s in the 2nd half. We passed up on way too many open looks for out of control drives to the paint

 

[Erik4Cy]

BYU shot 13/12 from 3pt for 39 points that half. Incredible.

 

[Clonefan32]

Has Hawks spoken this entire halftime show?

 

[t-noah]

Guy on the far right looks like the waiter who shows up right at shift time after a 2 day bender.

Dr. Pepper or Mt. Dew?

 

[ianoconnor]

Those BYU halftime analysts were surprisingly objective

 

[Cardinal2001]

sure seems like more than 7 3's made

 

[67CY]

Don’t know why we aren’t playing better

 

[Die4Cy]

Just an update for you all … Hawkeye fans in the house. Lame.

Of course there are.

 

[Darius Bieber]

BYU shot 13/12 from 3pt for 39 points that half. Incredible.

108% from three, damn

 

[clonebb]

Johnson is 26 years old?!?

Yes, and married with a kid on the way.

Curtis Jones will get there, but he’s learning what “open” is in the Big 12. He passed up a few that were solid looks, and he has to take them. He will in due time.

 

[MartyFine]

Surprise that it’s this close with rebounding and free throw margins

 

[madguy30]

Dr. Pepper or Mt. Dew?

Yes.

 

[ClonerJams]

108% from three, damn

Sure felt that way.

 

[RezClone]

How does that work? I thought that went away for sports programming when they joined....

Big 12 teams still retains some flexibility with their 3rd tier media rights, even with the expansion of ESPN+, which is unique amongst the major conferences.

Similar to Amazon (who outsources production to NBC), ESPN+ often outsources certain aspects of their broadcast to local media entities when it's convenient and available to fill the gaps with the reduced budget that comes with streaming so many games.

The Big 12 is uniquely positioned to partner with ESPN in this way due to their less restrictive media rights agreement.

Yeah, but no one has had their eyes gouged out tonight - so the comparison may be tainted from that incident.

Don’t know why we aren’t playing better

Playing a ranked team in their house 4 states away might have something to do with it.
