    ****Official Class Of 2024 Recruiting Thread****

    Three things jump out at me from that video: 1) He has a Big 12-type body already at this age 2) He has better hops/spring than I expected 3) As you mentioned, his aggression, both in going to the bucket as well as taking the tough jumper

    NFL: Kansas City Chiefs Thread

    Where is the best play to have dinner in the Des Moines area and watch the game? I don’t want to encourage the NFL to stream more games. If just me I would head to a sports bar. My bride will be with me and is not as much of a sports bar food person. Suggestions? In Johnston so could also do Ankeny.

    Careful, we haven’t had many road Big 12 games yet.

    I've only watched a couple of Purdue's games, but that would be an interesting matchup. Purdue rebounds well and have several players that can shoot from distance, but overall aren't as athletic as what I saw from Houston. Would be an interesting game, especially if the refs let it play out as...

    I think the top five teams in the country are likely to have a handful of losses each this year, thus not necessarily knocking them off that perch.

    Getting the win against Houston on national TV can't hurt recruiting. For shooters they have to see that we could use the help. For F/C types we are competing but lose so much after this season there is opportunity.

    That play reminded me of the way Laimbeer from Detroit used to play defense when guards like Jordan would ty to penetrate to the hole...put them on the ground!

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

    For me there are a few differences that have me disagreeing with you that we aren't better offensively; however, I will start by saying some of our scoring droughts are concerningly similar. We are better from the guard court at being a threat to penetrate. Lipsey could drive last year, but...

    I don't disagree with you, but it isn't as if Houston shot way better than us from three as happened in the Oklahoma game. If we would have lost, I think people may have looked at the rebounding margin disparity first.

    Your comments in bold made me remember the Hogue "karate kick" game against WVU and the subsequent mugging Monte got going to the hole shortly after.

    I liked that BRE didn't get up and get in the guy's face. Just professionally walked to the line and calmly sank two free throws. Didn't let it make him lose focus.

    The difficulty with officiating basketball ( I did it for 15 years) is that for every time you blow the whistle and interrupt the game, you probably made 10 decisions not to blow the whistle and interrupt the game.

    Wasn't there another big comeback victory vs. Oklahoma in Hilton years earlier?

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

    Hard to compare the games as one was away and the other in Hilton. Oklahoma had patience against our traps and moved the ball well as the game went along to get the open three better than Houston did. OK also hit 40% of their 3's while Houston was under 30%. Everybody looks better when you hit...

    After I read his comments, I looked through one of the game threads on a Houston fan forum and they decidedly felt ISU got the benefit of the calls and was mugging them all night.

    Except it was a bigger deal with Manning, as he played 4 years at Kansas while Wilt only played 2 I believe.
