*** Official #10 IOWA STATE vs Cincinnati Game(Day) Thread ***

[NWICY]

Got the road W it's a good night. Even though we kept a comfortable lead I still can't help but be nervous when we are only up 8 with three minutes to go. Tied for 1st in mid Feb. a unusual but good position for ISU.

About 40 years...that's Perry Ellis territory there.

I couldn't remember the 4th, so I said over 20 with Tinsley, Morris, Haliburton.

I'm going to assume native to Central Ohio?

Southeast Asia, obviously

There are a lot of things to like in that tweet

Important to remember Saturday just as big as Monday

ISU was supposed to start 3-6 in conference if things went well and then the back end would be much easier.

The first one didn't happen and the second one doesn't appear so either haha. Each game feels like a new hornets' nest.

Except that we bring the hornets.

ISU tends to get kind of wild with the ball in frantic situations that can make some of those possessions a little weird.

Jess is a good guy, met him several times.

Anyway, great win. Get tech and then throw the dice in Houston

I think he is a cousin to George Kittle.

Such a good thread today

Their coach looks like he yells to try to distract from being mentally incompetent

Aren't all the Big 12 coaches this way? Haha

 

[mikeiastat]

At least Settles made fun of himself having been in college so long. Made him bearable, at least.

Also said he thinks TJ has a shot at winning a natty at ISU. He was pretty flattering.

What the hell is a bearcat anyway?

Shout out to the assistant coaches as well. Green has been a great hire

Otz is our leader, without any question. But to play with this unity, and this consistency, Kyle Green, JR Blount, Nate Schmidt must not be forgotten. And the rest of the staff:

Man, I don't know if I have ever been this giddy about an ISU team. Not sure how good things will play out but it will be good. Extremely confident in this team.

 

[fsanford]

I know Fred had some talented teams. But this the best team ISU has had since LE's guys.

And by team a bunch of guys who are just SIC on how connected on the court they are.

Now I can't unsee it.

 

[SEIOWA CLONE]

Another quality win on the road, I just love the way our defense affects the game and the way we just grind on you, we give you very little, and make you uncomfortable with the ball. If we can keep this up, we are going to be a hard out in the tournament.

Such a good thread today

Surprisingly criticism free. It's nice.

In that scenario, the best thing is OuT going at it and playing Houston. However, if we are the no. 2 seed, then I don’t like it.
