*** Official IOWA STATE VS Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
Wasn't sure if this team would get to this record (at least 10-8) or at least this early anyway.
I'm still sticking with being happy they're NCAA-tourney bound.
Everything from here on out is gravy.
One thing--good teams win these types of games, so perhaps we're seeing something legit unfold here toward the end.

17 wins, I dunno. If we finished 17-13 and then lost the 1st game in the conference tourney, a 17-14 record probably wouldn't do it. We don't have enough quality wins on the ol' resume. Sitting at 18-9 now, I think there is a 90% chance we are in, but one more win should make it a 100% chance.
I know he was tired.
Still needs to make at least one of those free throws though.
Using tired as an excuse for pretty much anything doesn't float very well. But, then again I'm a sports performance trainer so my mentality is probably a little different than most.
They missed a bunch of layups. We missed free throws to ice the game and still won. That's what I was referring to.
I'm extremely happy with the win. What makes you think I'm not?
We were very incompetent in the last few minutes of regulation, and again in the last few minutes of OT, pretty much everyone on here knows it, but luckily Tech was even worse thankfully.
That doesn't mean I'm not thrilled with the win. I LOVE IT!!! There. Does that make you feel better?
Ha!!!. I actually told my wife pretty much the same thing. Thought Jackson was playing better. Now lets hope Deonte scores 30 against Baylor.
This.
Baylor, WV, KSU...all got L's at TCU...and we get our 5th road win. And we do it missing 2 starters and 2 freshmen at the end. Enjoy the win...great, gutsy victory.
Babb is going to be a great player for Iowa State. Those of ya'll bashing him are a joke! Dude stepped up and did his thing on defense and the glass! He's one of the only guys on our team who can guard ALL 5 positions smh!
They are human.
It's freaking annoying to get on here after a big road win with people ******** about how bad we are.
ISU shooting....
10-18 3 ptrs in first half
2-6 3 ptrs in second half
Either Techs defense really turned it up or they focused on senior basketball when it counted and work to score the highest percentage shots in the second half.
Great win considering the refs were giving them so many ticky tack fouls on drives it was crazy... now won't sleep until midnight.....

Totally agree. The three offensive rebounds by NWB and Young in early OT were a huge key for the W.
Solomon Man of the match? Loved his game, but I don't think so. Monte was the man tonight. Matt was tough and while we all watch Naz's shooting, he was the guy with the toughest defensive assignment.
Move us into the tournament lock category. These guys have just come up huge down the stretch.
I get that, but right now, I don't want to focus on logical reasoning. I want to complain about how frustrating it was to watch our defense get picked apart by the 6th, 7th, and 8th men, and then tomorrow I'll come back to reality. To be fair though, our free throws from December/early January to now have gotten SO much better. We lose this type of game a month and a half ago.
