Agree completely. Playing this physical is going to really hurt you in the tourney. They aren’t going to let you play that way.
Considering the Big XII's been a really physical conference for years now, and has had great Tourney success, I'm not really worried about that.

We have to play as physical as our opponent. And in the Big XII, most teams are very physical.

Took a non ISU friend to the game Saturday, he said he has never seen such aggressive D while not hand checking. I think this year we are less handsy and that will hele a little. We do contact a lot of chest to chest, but we don't grab our opponents with 2 hands like we want to give them a special hug.

What is a foul…Houston will not be able to do this in the tournament. This is WV on steroids

I would not have guessed ISU would be ahead in rebounds.

Screener threw a hip, guess that is too ticky tack for these officials.
