GAME THREAD: Iowa State @ Texas Tech Big 12 Opener

[bozclone]

Impressive effort by the women tonight!

A 31-4 third quarter. Nice.

My favorite quote from the announcers: "Texas Tech has picked a bad time to have a scoring drought."

Uhhhhh, is there a good time?

Sometimes, for teams that play defense.

 

[mred]

Try 412-04??

What were the odds the channel number would equal the third quarter score?

 

[dirtyninety]

Kristin and Ashley playing with some pride.....proud of them......good morale boost for everyone in Ames.

Gals got off to great start, but TT is clawing their way back. To the announcers delight. Are they TT announcers?

It's a Texas Tech broadcast.

It's a Texas Tech broadcast.

OK, that makes sense then. They should be that excited then.

On the yahoo app there were 155 picks made on this game. It was 87% tech 13 % isu. Obviously people aren't aware that tech's 11-0 record was against the sisters of the poor.

Tcu won @ Texas

Outscoring Tech by 27 points in the 3rd. That's just ungodly.

 

[drednot57]

They aren't going to get outscored by 30 in the 4th. Tech could score 30 but they will give up at least 20.

I guess they did after all. Great game for the Cyclones on both ends of the court.

Tcu won @ Texas

Hard to figure the Orange Heifers.
Beat Stanford - lose to TCU

Beat Tennessee -lose to Hawaii.

I can't believe playing nobody in non-conference didn't adequately prepare Tech for Big 12 play...

Enjoyed Jade's play. Nice to see someone who can beat a guard off the dribble.

Nice to see one more player in the rotation, too. I hope we can get even more in there.

So the Cyclones beat Tech by 30. I assume Tech fans want the coach fired. Games are games. Teams come ready to play, and sometimes teams with really good records are not as good as the record implies.

BTW, Tech gets only 4 points in the third quarter....And ISU gets 35 in the first. Anomaly? Probably. This is a prime example of needing perspective. One game is not a season.

It's about time she got some pt.

 

[BoxsterCy]

It's about time she got some pt.

She turned it over 6 times in 12 minutes tonight against a team that plays bad defense. That's why she isn't playing more.

Well she brings a level offense that few of our other reserves bring. Nobody is perfect.

 

[barometriclow]

Jade also stole the ball right back on two of those turnovers

 

[bozclone]

I thought Jade was a good change of pace tonight from Rae. Jade is going to turn the ball over, but the style of play tonight fit her game. Too many minutes for Jade could be an issue, but the balance seemed good tonight.
