*** THE OFFICIAL TEXAS A&M VS. ISU POSTGAME THREAD ***

[Mr Janny]

Booker had some foul trouble, but I thought he really gave us some quality minutes, today. He played pretty solid. Grabbed a lot of boards.

I love seeing Gibson get playing time. I'm super excited about him, going forward. Yes, his defense needs to improve, but there aren't many freshman bigs in the country that you can't say that about. You can see he has great finesse and touch around the rim. I can imagine, two years from now, him and Niang as a formidable front line.

Great game, today. So much fun to watch when they're clicking.

PAIN:yes:

I have a hard time predicting anything positive for us after this week.

But a 3-5 road record with the best win against ou gives me some hope.

 

[ISUChippewa]

Wow, that was very, very nice. I wasn't expecting another 24 point ***** whuppin', but I'll take a 23 point victory as well :smile:

 

[awd4cy]

Glad to sweep A&M in our last two games against them.

 

[JUKEBOX]

Wish we got 70.

 

[awd4cy]

Wish we got 70.

Why would that matter?

I think Baylor's going to be a really difficult match up for us. Especially with the timing.... BU at home after two losses in a row.

 

[Wesley]

Let's get the spread bet up so we can start betting.

In which they only have one day to prepare for someone like Royce, not easy.

 

[RING4CY]

Wish we got 70.

What does it matter what we score, as long as we win?

 

[isulive2train]

8-4 in BigXII...just...wow.

 

[GeorgesFan]

Wish we got 70.

I thought that scoring 69 points was the perfect tribute to Georges being there. Matched his ranking.:yes:

 

[MRN4ISU]

Great game to be a part of !! I was holding the Trailer Park Boys sign... Bubbles. Hilton Magic is DECENT! it was greattttt!

I like the way you think!!!

I almost think ISU was testing offensive strategy for Baylor's zone during this game.

To me, the scheme looked a lot different than @A&M.

It's possible Fred just altered the approach because ATM might focus on what worked the first time

 

[swarthmoreCY]

Good win. If Allen can keep playing like he has the last two games and Bubu returns to pre-injury form, we are a very good team.

 

[jdoggivjc]

The only reason why it was 23 instead of 30+ is because Hoiberg emptied the bench. Pretty much the same reason why A$M crossed the 40 point threshold - didn't think they were going to get there for awhile either.

Yeah, "it's just A$M", but the boys flat out took care of business today, and did so convincingly. Nobody can take that away from them, regardless how bad the competition was.

Also loved the "$EC!!! $EC!!! $EC!!!" chant at the end. Brilliant.

Let's take care of business on Monday and take 3rd place all by ourselves.

Agree. A&M has some talent, and looked pretty tough against UT. To win with that much ease was impressive.

 

[acody]

When was the last time we beat down conference opponents like this?

Heck when was the last time we beat down anybody like this?

Also damn is it nice to have Chris Allen peaking right now. This is the guy I was looking for when he transferred. If he can keep this up it could be a fun few weeks.

iowa. We were up over 20 on the chicken hawks and let them back in during mop up time in the final 2 minutes.

The way we are passing the ball, we can beat Baylor. Oklahoma State didn't beat them, but they really exploited Baylor's weakness in not playing good D against ball movement.
