    Washington missed their game at Baylor a couple weeks ago and they lost by 6. Baylor didn't shoot well from deep, but was able to take advantage at the rim, shooting 34 FTs and scoring a bunch of paint points. Jennings, the back up big, only played 16 minutes because of foul trouble. They...

    And Tamin is at least 2" shorter than Monte - but 25lbs heavier. I'm not sure which matters more in the NBA, strength or height? I know Jalen Brunson has turned into a unicorn, but he's only an inch taller than Tamin and weighs about the same. Looking at his college stats - Tamin is a MUCH...

    They are VERY small without Washington. Robert Jennings steps in to the post, but he's basically Tre King sized, or a bit shorter.

    Your concern is noted and laughed at. The ceiling of next years team is clearly Top 5 in the polls and a Final Four appearance We've got our Top 4 guards returning, who have all been excellent this year and will have another year in the system Then we also have 3 4 star backcourt recruits, a...

    The other thing is that we don't need those bigs to have any offensive talent at all - other than putbacks, dunks and lobs. They need to be big, strong, rebound well and have good defensive awareness. And we've got 40 minutes of PT to offer, because I don't think anyone on the roster currently...

    How and why did the "2024 MBB computer projections thread" turn into a completely ridiculous Hawkeye discussion?

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

    I read this and thought "they are THAT good at shooting 3s". Then I looked up the data and... nope, I was wrong. in conference play, they are shooting 40% on 3s (best in the Big XII) on 8.5 makes per game (2nd). They have 5 guys (they only play 7) that all are shooting > 30% in conference...

    I worry a bit about TTU on Saturday as a trap game, I know everyone has the Monday trip to Houston circled - hopefully the KU game Monday is enough to get the team's full attention. That hasn't been a problem with this team so far - but that Houston game is huge

    We also have Industrus and Pierce coming in - Pierce is more of a project, for sure, but Industrus I'd expect to play some - but you are right about being set in the back court

    Do the same thing next year with 2 big, strong paint enforcer transfers and we'll be set

    The other thing about last year's team - and really the only area that they were significantly better than this year's - is that they were a sneakily REALLY good rebounding team. Top 25 in offensive rebounds and Top 10 in defensive rebounding (I don't have kenpom right now, so I can't confirm...

    Oooh, that is an excellent point that I missed - those 7 games started with the TCU game that he replaced Tamin in the starting line-up

    Another shoutout to Curtis Jones. In the first 4 conference games, he scored 12 total points. Since then he's scored at least 11 in each game. Minutes/g 2pt FG% 2pt Att/g 3pt FG% 3pt Att/g FT% FT Att/g Assists Steals Turnovers Points/g First 4 23.8 30% 2.5 22.2% 2.3 N/A 0 11 5 2 3.0...

    Might as well keep these posts going…that was a HUGE win!

    It still doesn't feel like they've put a complete game together in conference play. Hopefully it's next Monday.

    Bandaogo is a career 63% FT shooter. He's gone 8-8 in their last 2 games and 12-16 in their last 5. Lakhin, the other big, is actually a much worse FT shooter, career 55%.

    He's listed at 225, same as Jones and King and 25 pounds more than Ward (for whatever listed weights are worth) Adding: nevermind - BRE is listed at 255 on cyclones.com, but 225 on sports-reference. Bandaogo is listed at 235 on the Bearcats website

    Best Iowa State point guard

    100% yes - in terms of pure PG skill, Tinsley was head and shoulders better than Morris or Halliburton (when he was at ISU). Dude was just different Here's how I'd put it: Best ISU PG Peak: Tinsley Best ISU PG Career: Morris Best Pro Career: Hornacek Best Pro Career Peak & Potential: Haliburton
