I loved having that announcing team there! Especially Jay Wright. You could tell all 3 were loving it.

Hilton showed another legend in Jay Wright what a top venue it is. National spotlight, perfect showing for the team and Hilton. Yes 5 star forwards, come next year and flourish.

Did you happen to hear the convo early in the first half?

Ian Eagle: "How many times have you been here?"
Jay Wright: "Zero!* Best coaching decision I've ever made!"

*He may have said none. Same sentiment.

First of all, colossal win for obvious reasons. Tre King man. Big time. Gilbert clutch too. How that euro-step layup wasn’t called a travel is beyond mind-blowing but I’ll take it.

Hason Ward does some huge things especially in this game that doesn’t necessarily show up in the box score. Great game. Mom hit some nice threes, missed some too. But, he isn’t a machine.

Can’t tell you the last time CBS covered a Iowa State basketball game other than NCAA Tournament games. It’s been a minute! And I don’t believe Bill Raftery has EVER covered a regular season Iowa State game. Special.

Ya I thought the broadcasting crew had great chemistry and they were just eating the atmosphere up by the spoon full. If we can make a deep run this year, I see the snowball effect really picking up speed for TJ.

Can’t wait. Texas Tech has pulled off some big comebacks to win their last two games. Gonna need to be just as clutch down the stretch as we were today
Who would have thought that 3 weeks into the Big12 season TTU would be 1st, and wed be tied for 2nd. And that KU has 3 conference losses? Holy **** the big12 is loaded

Honestly, I think a lot of us were. JP hit a homerun

He did. It seemed very underwhelming, like "sure, just hire your buddy. That can't possibly go wrong," but TJ has to be way behind even the Kool-Aidiest of expectations at this point. He's just absolutely crushing everything about the whole job.

Can't wait to burn the Bears.

Bill Self thinking he'd cracked the code to winning in Hilton by getting to the free throw line late:

Thought Self might go ‘hack-a-BigRob‘ being that he was in the game in the final minutes.

I knew TJ was the man last year against TCU in Fort Worth. Just mesmerized that game with the in game coaching at that time. Not only that but you could watch Blount and Green were all over it too.

This was TJ’s second best coached game at the helm with ISU.
