Great recovery. Have to remember this is the first rabid crowd for a lot of these guys, and I think that adds pressure of its own. Almost like we were overreacting on defense and leaving too many openings, and UT was taking advantage of that. Offense has been great, so just need to keep buckled down on D.

I think UT also came out about as sharp as they've been in a long time. Luckily they couldn't sustain it.

This 2nd half has emotional roller coaster vibes.

The fact we're leading at half after what happened in the first 10 minutes or so - good sign. Hopefully we can build from there.
Agreed. I was hoping we'd get to 5-7 pts, so that turnover flurry was great to get ahead.

Going to need to hit FTs second half and becareful not giving any cheap ones. And of course come out ready and not let UT get the early momentum.

Go cyclones.

Eh, they shot 54 percent, odds are they won't shoot like that for the whole 40 minutes
Ya. But odds are they will get up more than 22 shots in the second half too.

Super happy with how ISU is playing, but Texas is a really talented team. Probably the most talented squad in the conference. Gonna take a really focused 2nd half.
