I agree. Floyd actually tried something like that in Fizer's freshman year, and it was against Texas in Hilton. His young players (like Fizer) were having trouble adapting to his defense-first style, so he experimented with loosing the reigns and letting them play up-tempo, and they played pretty well. Still lost, but it was a closer game. No way McDermott does this, though. We'll get waxed by 30.
i see us getting beat pretty bad... that being said if a good majority of our players have a good or at least decent game we have a shot (I'm tired of every time someone has a great game everyone else sucks, see Brackins x50, Boozer, and Staiger)
But I don't see them doing it
Texas 90
Iowa State 72

Final outcome should be similar to the Duke game. If ISU can somehow learn to rebound by Wednesday night, it could be much closer.
I predict the only way ISU will win is if they are up by at least 10 with 2 minutes left. Anything less and they will lose.
Well, Texas has a better than 10 rebound differential now over the teams they play, so this is probably about right. They average 15 offensive rebounds a game. They may get 20 on ISU.
They are averaging 88 points a game, and giving up 63. Yikes!
Yeah, but that differential will start to drop now that they are in conference play. However, I promise you it increases after Wednesday night.
Making it a track meet is a horrible idea. They play 10 guys and are more athletic at every position. Have to slow it down, shorten the game, run only when it is there. If we run with these guys we will get beat by 50. Lot better chance to win if you can hold them to 60 or 70 points, that is the only hope.
I have seen this response to other posts in other threads. I really don't think we are "crying" because we are going to get beat Texas. The problem is this team is not playing well. They are out rebounded. Their defense and lack of hustle are disappointing because you can always do that no matter if you are making shots or not. That is what people are "crying" about. Unless they play 180 degrees from where they have been playing, this game will be over mid 1st half. That is the problem. We are looking for some FIGHT in these guys. It is hard to get excited about your team when they aren't excited about it themselves.
I don't see how anyone can predict ISU might win. GMac is 0-14 against ranked teams, including this year........why would that change?
I predict pain
Iowa vs Texas on neutral court was tied at half
We will be ahead the whole game and lose in the last minute

I give us a shot in this one...I think assuming everybody is healthy and ready to go (except Colvin obviously) that we'll play inspired and I like how we match up with Texas a lot better than Kansas...we need to pull a big upset somewhere, why not Wednesday :yes:
ISU 76
Texas 73
