We’ll need Lipsey back. You can’t depend on Gilbert and Jones to have games like that against ksu. And you can’t count on 27 turnovers against them either.
Considering Tre is a very good FT shooter, I also thought he'd be in late, in place of RJones/Ward.
I didn't expect to hear from them, since it was a win. But I guess there's always something to ***** about.
If we would have played a tougher noncon I think we win this one by two (jimlad)
I would have rather had Tamin for today's game, than Wednesday at home vs K St. I still think TCU is a better team than KSt, and the Hilton advantage will be big, especially if we still don't have Tamin.
Yes, you can never count on the opponent turning out over 27 times, but I expect Iowa St to rebound better Wednesday, and hopefully get more free throws. And honestly, they should be able to shoot better in Hilton too. 47%/33%/62% today was just enough.
With the good game from Curtis Jones and Gilbert, plus Watson stepping up providing bench depth, I could see the staff not rushing him back, especially with KU in one week.
Not to worry, the next loss or the next 'bad' stretch, the naysayers will be out, complainig how TJ does doesn't do this or didn't do that.
Count on it.
Weird you didn't pull up my other post where I admit I was wrong.
Still doesn't change the fact it was the best game I've seen them play in 3 years under TJ considering the circumstances and they still almost choked it away.
Ahhhhh…you really had your hopes up when TCU cut it to 4 didn’t you? So disappoint.
Eh, look at TCU before him. He's a good coach, even if he is kind of a turd.
How many games have you watched? Haven't you been on here saying you don't watch games?
Big 12 on road is nuts. Ku lost and ucf and losing late at wv.
When people talk about almost “choking this game away” remind them that TCU made a run after half to get it to 11 and ISU responded to get up by 19, then TCU got it to 10, and ISU built it up to the 15 and held them at arms length until it would have taken almost perfect play and luck for TCU to win. If they would have really choked, TCU wouldn’t have needed ISU to miss free throws and hit a last second uncontested 3 to lose by 1
I actually thought before the tip, Iowa State would come out on top. I had the vibe we’d drop that one in Provo, Utah when the game came out on the schedule. I think we paste Kansas State next Tuesday. Question, that game on ESPN 2 anybody can confirm?
Yeah I get you. But it's like I still don't understand how a five star is a work in progress.
