*** Official #24 IOWA STATE vs #20 BYU Game(Day) Thread ***

Damn it Houston don’t you know absolutely nobody goes into Provo and pushes the home team around?

Welcome to the Big 12 *******.

I don’t think BYU is gonna go 10-2 the rest of the way out.

 

[Malone]

The smallest, saddest violin plays. 2-4 conference start.

I’d be tagging our old friend BYU Dad but it appears he’s no longer with us.

Not if they are going to shoot 11 of 38 (29%) from deep.

Man they just shoot so many damn threes. They got that good big guy too. Just so hard to keep your percentage up that long to win a game. And it’s really hard to win on the road doing that.

Impressive win by Houston though.

Have to take it easy on Dad tonight. Houston makes seven straight FT in the last 62 seconds to beat his kitties.

You might be surprised to see what happens in that Houston game tomorrow. BYU is going to be able to match their physical style of play is what I think. If BYU wins this game it's a statement that we're in the Big 12 to play and nobody's going to push us around. Alot of people just assume we're nice squeaky clean Mormon boys. That's not the case. They play to win and won't back down. But the difference is you can do it with some class and not flagrants.

Or you can basically be outplayed from a majority of the game. Houston led by double digits for a large part of the 2H. They owned the boards and forced BYU to shoot 38 of their 59 shots from beyond the arch. This isn’t the WCC anymore and BYU is learning that. The Marriott is nothing close to the homecourt advantage of KU, ISU, Tech, Baylor or KSU. BYU has already dropped two home games and will be lucky to finish 9-9 in the league. Your best win is against Iowa State. We are literally the only thing standing between you and an 8 seed in the tournament. Good luck against Texas on Saturday. Don’t want to drop your 3rd home game in conference.
