*** Official #23 IOWA STATE vs #8 Texas (SAMSUBA) Game(Day) Thread ***

[jsb]

How the **** is the story of our road games always the other team hits 50 3s and shoots 85%

We don’t play good defense on the road?

OU hasn’t been looking too bad lately. Even that game worries me.

 

[CYDJ]

This is actually Iowa all over again. Both teams shooting out of their minds from 3.

 

[xboxfever]

Apparently we just don’t even need to watch this team when they play on the road. This team has completely fallen off a cliff.

one positive? we're shooting a pretty good FT% tonight....

 

[cyclo120]

It’s just so similar to last year. Overachieve early struggle late in conference. Just try not to tank the seed too bad and try to make a run against teams in tourney that don’t know us as well.

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

Just bet ISU +18.5. Can it get worse?

 

[KCyclone2010]

Almost 50 points given up in a half. Horrible effort

 

[Darius Bieber]

Texas could score 100 tonight, ouch.

Stole my line

If grill doesn’t play anymore till conference Tourney we may end up a 5-6 seed

Which honestly isn’t the end of the world. Get healthy and hope for a favorable draw and a good shooting night. As we saw last year teams outside the Big 12 won’t be used to our pressure.

Tough one...time to go mow the lawn.

 

[isuno1fan]

7-7 from the line.

His glasses annoy me.

Marcus Car is the Rick James of Big12 guards.

Yep... Teams get to know how we play and respond. We don't have the players to keep up with those changes. That's what happens when a player you expected went to the NBA and another tore his acl.

Still amazing overachievment

 

[Cardinal2001]

well, this is turning into quite a negative area, think I'll take a break. Enjoy your misery!

 

[CYDJ]

Baylor will likely be out to get us too. We didn't treat them nicely at home either.

It's going to get way worse my friend

This year it's not a big deal.
