***Official Iowa State vs. West Virginia Gameday Thread ***

I don't understand how teams can play like WVU and not foul out all their players, it's not "ferocious D" so much as it's just fouling a lot and crossing fingers you don't lose the calls. I guess it's like KSU having pass interference on every play because the refs will only call it so often.

The last "rebound" they got was pretty ridiculous.

Refs gives teams like WVU a pass because that's their style but don't afford that to their opponents. Its garbage.

I think there's two reasons, one the second guy always gets called. Two, they do this every game so they are used to it and better at it than we are.

Frank Martin coached under Huggy IIRC.

and both look like pedos.

I think we were try to force our pace, which actually feeds into their game. We need to slow down to speed up, so to speak. If we get good shots, they cannot match us shot for shot.

Offensive rebounding is what West Virginia does. They can't shoot for **** but they rebound well. Just like we shoot 3's well, offensive rebounding and being physical is their identity. Be thankful we are up 3 at the half and hope for the shooting to heat up in the 2nd.

I can hardly stand to look at Huggins.

Our good shots come from playing fast though

Is this the Kstate of last year, is huggy going to be the "new" Frank Martin of the BigXII. I really starting to not like WV, in FB or BB.

Joking? Frank Martin was the new Huggy of the Big 12.

Exactly. WVU has done the things they're good at well, and ISU is still ahead.

And how does Niang get into foul trouble in a game being called like this?!?

I know most don't like him, but I am a fan of Huggins

[MIClone]

Ejim is dominant tonight. This type of play is his type of play.

[Gunnerclone]

Huggins is like Matt Damon in Rounders always checking playing against Teddy KGB. Timeout, timeout, timeout. Refuses to let the tempo get raised or get the crowd into the game.

[abe2010]

did huggins just Scot Drew the start of the half here?

[Doc]

Huggiebear had to call the TO to remind his players to bump and grab both members of the pick & roll. That's called Huggins defense.
