*** Official Iowa vs #17 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[FerShizzle]

TJ have full trust in you that you are ripping them apart of the dumb turnovers and will not let them take their foots off their throats

TJ isnt the rip em apart kind of coach. he is coaching them up to be ready to go. Fran on the otherhand is probably either ripping or crying or both.

 

[ChickenNuggetMan]

Great job! Held pre half, too and settled in (less mistakes)

Elite defense

Iowa will have a run or two...we need to be smart, make FTs, and keep locking down

And as Fran hinted, Hoiberg should have had TJ teach some.D!

As good a headline it would make, a big part of the D is Green.

 

[CycloneErik]

Finish them.

 

[imnclone]

We all knew TJ could recruit. But after seeing the mismatched talent over that last number of years. It is nice to see that TJ was actually able to create a "team" where everyone knows their role. Hoping this is a long-term trend.

 

[ESciGuy]

Easy to get the FranCon mixed up. Fran does that to people.

I will think of the FranCon level like 'burns'. 1st degree is worst. 3rd degree less severe.

uhhh...no

 

[t-noah]

He usually his and they have only been down at half like this once (See Georges kiss). He's going FranCon PANIC soon. BET!

Hope so!

Our sweet spot in the game is usually the first 5 min of the 2nd half, lets hope that continues!

 

[RezClone]

Brockington is in his comfort zone against Iowa above all others. This wasn't talked about enough. He alluded to it himself unprompted.

 

[JRE1975]

Did Brockington play all 20 minutes? Just hope we have enough gas in the tank.

Orr left Lafester in for the whole game, Brock is good!

 

[Drew0311]

If Gabe can hit a few of these threes it’s gonna be over if we keep the intensity

 

[CyclonePigskin]

Cyclones have done bioreactor breaking their press than they have gained with it.

Good ball movement too.

And keeping with their identity, winning 50-50 balls, holding our opponent well below their average shooting accuracy, and out rebounding them.

very solid first half. Focused.

 

[BigLame]

Think Iowa will attempt to drive more or whatever they can to draw more fouls so they can come back from the FT line & wear down our numbers. In particular with Murray but he can't get to the basket with the dribble against our guys so I predict they will try to isolate him posting up. Our help D has been great so far, so that needs to continue, too. Need to play this great D without fouling to secure this win.

I am sure there is some very positive, uplifting talk in the hok locker room right now.

 

[Die4Cy]

ISU is +18 on rebounds. At the half.

Teams that are -18 on the road...get destroyed.

 

[Bigman38]

This teams energy + Hilton energy is going to be a tough combo to beat this year.

LET MY TJ COACH! [tm NCCisufan you heard it here first]

 

[ISU_Guy]

is it too much to ask for us to play out of our minds the 2nd half. Like everything goes right? I feel like we have to be up like 25 points with 10 mins or less before i feel comfortable...lol

 

[madguy30]

ISU is +18 on rebounds. At the half.

Teams that are -18 on the road...get destroyed.

And that needs to happen in this first four minutes.

 

[JM4CY]

ISU is +18 on rebounds. At the half.

Teams that are -18 on the road...get destroyed.

I’m not sure what’s more impressive: that number or how we get to that number with the size of our personnel. Hustle baby.

 

[discydisc]

ISU is +18 on rebounds. At the half.

Teams that are -18 on the road...get destroyed.

We have more offensive rebounds than they have total rebounds
