*** Official IOWA STATE VS Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

[bosco]

Not that worried about the game not because I think we'll win but because it doesn't hurt us that much if we lose as long as we win at home.

The team has really shot well the last few games. Just got to think that the team is due for an off shooting game. Hope they win but if I had to choose i'd rather the team be "on" for the Baylor game.

It's been a heck of a birthday so far. Dresser hired AND accepted. I got to play golf in Iowa. And big Monday should top it off. Let's go boys!

Looking at the box score it's kind of surprising we won the first meeting with them.

- We only made 6 of 21 three pointers (including Naz going 1 for 7)
- We only grabbed 27 rebounds compared to their 42 (we average 36 on the year)
- We only got 2 total steals
- Burton only played 15 minutes, & Thomas only played 18. They scored 6 and 8 points, respectively.


I don't expect ANY of those things to be duplicated this time around, let alone all of them combined. Granted I'm sure Tech will play better also, but I'm a little more confident now.

We didn't have Young playing at the level he's playing now. Controlling the paint will be key to this game.

I'm having a hell of a time remembering these weekday games lately

Fun stat:

In games where Solomon Young plays 15 minutes or more : ISU is 8-0

In games where Young plays less than 15 minutes: ISU is 9-9

Just sayin'

Virginia retired Brogdon's number tonight, less than year after he was done.

Actually Young played most of the 2nd half and played well.

Georges should have had the same treatment. But anyway...GO CYCLONES

Miami is taking Virginia to the wire on the road.

UVA has 82 points over their last 79 minutes.

 

[HFCS]

On ESPN, Miami just scored 7 straight to tie up @Virginia with a minute left. Could be nice little non conf bump, they'd move ahead of UVA in ACC.

 

[FerShizzle]

For a 30 point blowout, the last 10:00 minutes of the FSUvBC game are taking too long. Keep that clock moving!

UVA has 82 points over their last 79 minutes.

We would need to be annual National Championship contenders for me to enjoy playing like UVA. Anything less than that and I'm watching football and NBA and tuning out college hoops. Sooooooo boring. It's just running clock.

Intriguing development from TT.

@CycloneMBB Livingston not in the starting 5 for the Red Raiders for the first time this season.

Also another nugget from Cyclone Basketball.

@CycloneMBB Monte Morris will break Jeff Hornacek's record for career steals with his next takeaway.

Are we sure it's break? I thought one steal ties and 2 breaks. I could be wrong or thinking of prior to TCU game.

 

[CarlHungus]

Man, Miami can't catch a break. Bad calls against them and the shot doesn't count

This UVA team is not anywhere near the team we faced in the tourney.
