    *** Official #2 Houston vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    The biggest issue in the OU game is that we only forced 10 turnovers - that's not enough and it lead to the slowest paced game of the year and caused a lot of the other issues.

    *** Official #2 Houston vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I think this game goes one of two ways - More likely - we play well, but can't make enough shots against Houston's very very good defense and come up short in crunch time - something like 60-57 Houston OR - Hilton magic + Texas kids in a snow storm happens. We get easy buckets off of...

    A blizzard requires snow plus wind. Wind is not supposed to be an issue until tomorrow afternoon, although I expect there will be blizzard conditions for a period as the snow wraps up

    Not this time, especially if its already starting as snow. There's 3 heavy snow makers in this storm, each can produce 2-6". The risks to not getting much are that the first one was too warm and starts as rain or a mix, but that already didn't happen. The second heavy wave comes just before...

    *** Official IOWA STATE vs #11 Oklahoma Game(Day) Thread ***

    Hoping to win one of these first two games, I think we matchup with OU much better than Houston, but I think the setup is better for the Houston game. OU is a nice matchup - the 3 keys to the ISU team are 1) getting easy points from turnovers, 2) keep them off the offensive boards, 3) don't...

    History shows that there are very very low odds of that (people on this site not panicking) happening

    Like DePaul, they like to push the pace as well, I think they are the fastest paced team we'll have played so far, it should be a fun little NYE with a game probably in the 80s or 90s

    *** Official Eastern Illinois vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I was just looking at national stats and Lipsey's defense has been amazing. He's currently #2 nationally in Steals and #1 in Defensive Win Shares and tied for #2 in Total Win Shares (just behind Edey). He's just outside the top 10 in assists as well. He's up to shooting 50% from the floor and...

    They also beat #358 Coppin St in a 48-46 barn burner, so you never know

    They also haven't beaten anybody ranked in the top 350 and just lost to #344 Central Arkansas. They very much are not a good team that played out of their minds in Phog Allen (and in Carver last year). Analytics say we should win 88-53, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was much closer...

    Looking at Haslametrics, who also has us #5, we need to win tonight by at least 88-53 to keep pace.

    Not really - he's right, we haven't done anything to warrant a #5 ranking at this point.

    He'll probably be #7 on the career after this year (if he keeps up the pace), about a half season (~50) behind Monte

    Tamin has been ridiculously good so far this year. The 16/6/6 averages get the headlines, and deservedly so, along with the fact that he's 17/40 from 3pt range after going 5/25 the whole season last year - but looking at the stats yesterday, he's on pace to blow away Jamaal Tinsley's season...

    Since we play the entire SWAC, by definition one of them will be in the tourney :otz:
