*** Official #7 IOWA STATE vs #1 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

[CRcyclone6]

Great game!! Selection Sunday is so much more fun when it's between a #1 or #2 seed.

 

[Pope]

This team comes up with so many amazing stats. How 'bout this one?

Houston scored 41 points the entire game. Iowa State scored 39 points in the second half.

SPYCY Strikes Again!

Thanks for the compliment, Keith. Referring to ISU's absolute thrashing of the #1 team in the nation as "impressive" must have been challenging for you. Appreciate all your gushing accolades.

What a clown this guy is. Can't stand him, I've been anti-Murph ever since I was a teenager and realized SoundOff is just a H***eye media mouthpiece. If either H*** team especially CC did this he'd have a lot more to say than "Wow. Impressive." Hope he leaves/retires soon and we can get some talent in the Iowa media that actually appreciates the other top university in the state.

No quickie poll on what seed ISU should be Murph? Lame.

Credit given we've been on a roll since you created SPYCY after tanggate.

If they work for WHO they always will be pro hawkeye.

Houston's last gasp was up 6-2, then we crushed 'em.

I dunno about that. They had come within one, right. Then we suffocated them on D and curbstomped them on O

This teams toughness is their biggest strength. They will not be broken.

1st half was back and forth, ISU had a good last 3ish minutes, then came out and placed their feet firmly on Houston's neck for the first two minutes of the 2nd half.

I won't expect the same shooting this next week but I do expect the same sort of ball movement and good looks and then hopefully enough go in.

Hopefully the free throw % is somewhere between last night (59%) and Baylor (92%) if things are going to even out.

 

[c.y.c.l.o.n.e.s]

We have better depth. They have Cryer, Sharp and Shead. We win because for first time in his career Jamal Shead actually doesn't hit every clutch shot down the stretch (or at least that is what happens in my dreams). Dude is unreal. I hope we can contain him.
Win or lose this has been a fun tournament.

My dreams came true.

Iowa State by 21

Why so pessimistic?

yeah, something about this tweet hit me wrong too.

Hoping this games is enough for us to get into the Midwest region.

If we are the 2 there though, Do we really want Purdue in our region?

I can’t see a situation where we don’t want them. Our guard play is better than theirs, and we play at a pace where Edey won’t be a huge factor. If we play Purdue, I don’t believe it’s a close game

If the ball is moving, the shooting will come. Usually when we shoot poorly, it's because we are taking bad shots.

Yes. Why wouldn’t we? Plus there is a good chance Purdue won’t make to Indy.

Our history tells us that it will be hard to get out of the first weekend. As we all know, we have 6 Sweet 16's or beyond ever. Most years several #1 and #2 seeds go out the first weekend. I'm not afraid of any team. And I think we could lose to almost any team.

Yeah rushed/hurried shots with too much dribbling.

They seemed to have done a nice job sticking with that last night when Houston started pressing the perimeter more.
