***OFFICIAL POSTGAME THREAD****

Couldn't he still hire Morgan as a recruiter? Doesn't Morgan live in Ames?

I think he is an assistant at a small school out east. Plus Wayne won't be here while Jamie is here.

Andy Katz (ESPNAndyKatz) on Twitter

I like Katz, but someone needs to set him straight. The dude did score 42 points, but took 24 shots and played all but 3 minutes.

SC's performance is better.

I sent him a tweet right after the game about it. Anyway, Scotty got some love from Eric Bossi.

And the memories of the last few years against Drake...it was the only game Lucca ever showed up for.....and I don't miss it

What is the toughest NC game on our schedule?
I know it's the kool-aid after a nice win but my expectations are
starting to get itchy.

Probably @UNI or Cal.

It's hard to even know where to start with that game.

When's the last time we beat somebody anywhere near relevant by 48?

Imagine this offense with Fizer, Tinsley, Brackins, and Wes Johnson.

Imagine this offense with last year's players. Heck, maybe Harrison Barnes would have held a national press conference to announce his staying at home.

<page turn>

I like this year's team. Though there is no 'Fizer' or 'Tinsley' -like players, the team overall has that same lack of depth that the Fizer/Tinsley year did. Back then, there was no choice but to play through adversity. I wonder if the same kind of mindset will show up in this year's undermanned team? No one can expect such great results , but a little adversity sometimes helps to bring out the best in players.

When Scotty left the game he was ahead of Drake 29-28. Think about that one for a second.

Probably @UNI or Cal.

Gee, do I dare mention it? But I think there might be another away in state game that could be a bit challenging. Okay, rip away.

Kennesaw and @ Virginia will be interesting match-ups as well.

I think @Iowa will be a tough game, but not our toughest non-conf matchup.
And forgot about the Virginia game.

Are you kidding??? Horten, Nurse, Shirley etc etc weren't talented? The Fizer/Tinsley era had a lot of talent on the team.

Back to subject. What a great and dominating win with only 10 players!

Some good stats from the game:
Everyone that is eligible scored. No Drake player scored more than 8 points.
We had 21 assists, Drake had 20 turnovers.
Drake shot 22%, we shot 54%.
Shot only 36% from 3-point range, still had 91 points.
Garrett had a poor shooting game from 3, going 0-for-6, but still had 14 points and 10 assists.
Christopherson's 11-for-11 was remarkable. I though he got lucky on a few shots in the first half that somehow rolled in for him.
Christopherson was beating Drake 29-28 when he was taken out of the game.

We will beat Iowa by at least 15 and I'll be there to see it in person.

Oh, I've dwelt on it, a lot.

He's only talking in terms of sheer number of players, I believe.

We will beat Iowa by at least 15 and I'll be there to see it in person.

Me, too. Iowa loves to turn it over, and we love to oblige. I think that's a fun game to be at, and I can't wait. Only two weeks!

Just think if we could tack on White/Babb/Allen/Booker to the rotation . . .
