*** Official #6 IOWA STATE vs #2 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

[ISUTex]

Most schools do not have Cyclone fanbase. Not having pro sports in state helps yoo

A packed 8,000. Loud as sh!t.

This is like Rocky 4 when Rocky delivers a blow that cuts Drago after getting pummeled the first couple rounds

The Houston board is hating on Fran

I could give a **** less what those morons think.

 

[cydsho]

Houston has a board?

How could they? Aren't they all at the recording breaking attendance record of over 8000........

 

[jdoggivjc]

We can win this game. I don't know if we will, but we're proving our legitimacy this evening.

 

[Skyh13]

The frustrating thing about the refs isn't that they're calling a bunch of ticky-tack stuff on ISU (there's been a couple though), but the lack of calls on Houston with them bodying and grabbing and hitting... like holy hell

 

[Drew0311]

Let’s freakin go. We got hosed by the refs. Could not buy a shot and we are down 5. Let’s freakin get them

 

[Gunnerclone]

The amazing thing is our fouls are pretty well spread out, I wouldn’t say we’re in foul trouble at this point.

 

[ClonerJams]

I'll note the houston posters in the reddit game thread are even calling out the refs for home cooking.

Reddit is a good place to find sane fans

Proud of this team to face all that adversity and be right there. I don't know how this game will end, but they've already shown a lot.

 

[HFCS]

When the refs are swinging things to the home team so bad espn is calling it out, does that get back to them somehow at halftime?

 

[inCyteful]

So, what, first to 50 wins this?

 

[jctisu]

Like normal the first minutes of the second half are big. But this game is even more important to come out strong. We have taken a couple haymakers from them and are still right there in their face. If we can weather their next run, seeds of doubt will start to creep in.

Houston fans defending their 8,000 capacity arena

 

[clonedude]

Awww…. poor Sampson says they just are having a tough time with one of their guys having been called for 2 fouls.

Tell me about it…. try being on our side.

 

[CycloneVet]

These guys are Dawgs

 

[madguy30]

I am officially not worried about this team. Just get out of this game with no injuries and heads held high. Thats all I ask. A win would be gravy.

Really tough opponent at their place, calls not going their way and still crawled back.

If you're a coach you're maybe giddy at the timing of a game like this as we get closer to March and the team riding high lately.

60

Houston came out flying, lot of home cooking and we ares still in this. When you play defense you are never out of it.

The influx of non partisan fans really helps
