*** Official #14 IOWA STATE vs Texas (SAMSUBA) Game(Day) Thread ***

[ZRF]

Not sure if it was mentioned or if anyone realized it but Disu scored 22 points in the last 9 and a half minutes. Even with bad defense that's nuts.

She's upstairs waiting for me. G'night!

That’s interesting hopefully you don’t mind sloppy seconds I just left…

I’m gonna say it. Thank god Tyrese Hunter is no longer part of our team. Tamin is twice the player he is. I would not even want him as a backup

 

[cytor]

Seriously, every time I turn on the TV and Baylor is playing... it's always at home! Do they even play ANY road games this year?

Hunter has really regressed as a player since going to Texas.

But he has advanced very much as a person with money. So..... I'm thinking he doesn't mind so much. It would be nice to go pro. But if someone would have handed me a mil or two as a 19 year old. I wouldn't care what the world thought of my performance.

If he invests correctly and isn't extravagant, he can get himself a cushy little job somewhere that has health insurance and be pretty set.

To get more he'll have to improve his game/stats.

But still not doing too bad for himself.

Glad we have Tamin but would like to see what Hunter could have become with better coaching under TJ. Oh well, he made his decision

Not me. It probably means no Gilbert, which would suck.

I think Hunter would’ve still plateaued at ISU. He needed to become a solid shooter, which isn’t a coaching thing, it’s a kid putting in the work in the off-season.

I believe the replay will be available on ESPN on demand, there is no LHN moratorium on replay.

Looking forward to watching this game (replay) without interruption. I did get to see a lot of it though (albeit out of sync), thanks to @alarson !

I just started to watch the Baylor game. This game, and knowing we got it, will make the Baylor game a bit easier to swallow.

Really cashed in on that high profile performance against LSU

That's well played.
Actually, now that you're gone, she'll stop giggling and get it real good. Enough that she will forget her own name.

Or in this case, pretty decent defense.
Disu is damn good, too good a shooter and too mobile for bigs, too big for guards/wings. But he missed his last shot.
Scoreboard!

This is a strange view and I don’t get people actually believe this. Maybe he doesn’t care about being good and basketball was just the way to maybe make a living. I highly doubt it. I think he cares a lot, because pretty much all these guys that are high level athletes care a ton. They have big egos and care what people think. I’m sure it eases the sting a bit, but I bet he cares a lot that he got embarrassed by his old team.

Hope you're ready to hear how wrong you are.

 

[cytor]

I cannot stress this enough.... FUK TEXAS!

It was nice beating your ass in your home.

I've entered the lion's den on more than one occasion. Lol

 

[t-noah]

So many pieces on this team. Good defense. Think the best to come. Killer instinct hasn't been installed yet.

Killer instinct with this BB team could be equivalent to the "Touchdown Play" in FB.

Bring it on!

 

[CySmurf]

Is TX going to make the tourney?

Wow, we are now 6-3 in the league. Unreal winter for T.J.

.1 of a second from being 7-2

Horns Down

Reflection on the game. If Disu plays really well but not out of his mind and our bigs just hit a couple more really easy bunnies that game isn't even close

True. When did Disu become the stepchild of Steph Curry and Hakeem Olajuwon? Tonight, of course.

And we still won!

 

[ZRF]

Exactly how TJ described Pav’s play tonight in his locker room interview. Good grief.

Pavs played 9 minutes. Despite hitting 2 lucky shots and netting 6 points he was -5 during his time. If you go back and watch the film that -5 doesn't even begin to illustrate how overmatched he was on tne defensive end.

There was little reason to play Pavs. We got away with it in the first but in the 2nd they were running circles. None of our guards had 4 fouls; if Lipsey sits put Keshon at point. Watson is much better suited, especially with the lead to be on the floor.
