He had to stick around so he can ride Brock Harding to the NBA

Pretty sure he scored a whopping two points against DII Minnesota Deluth the other night.
When I'm wrong I'll admit it. Sandfort really showed me something tonight.
haven't seen a 2nd half choke that bad since uthoff
That he’s a one trick pony? He spots up to chuck three's. That’s it.
I don’t think Sandfort was as close as the media was saying to making an NBA squad last off season
You know what I took out of tonight? And what I’ve now realized over the last couple weeks? Heise is ******* good. I ate crow on that one in another thread after the Marquette game.
Have a nice evening.
They made their last three pointer at 11:54 to go up 62-53. Down the stretch, Dix 0-4, Sandfort 0-3, Thelwell 0-1
I believe KCRG has yet to post a story about ISU beating Iowa in basketball in 2021.
Par for the course.
In the first half, Iowa shot 59% from the field and 54% from deep. They finished (for the game…not just the second half) shooting 44% from the field and 39% from the three point line.
Statistically speaking, that equates to a horrendous second half for them. I don’t know how many of Heise’s 24 minutes were in the second half, but it had to be quite a bit.
I said it once (twice? Or with this post is it three times?), Heise is good. He’s a difference maker. Instinctive hands and has shown he can shut All-Americans down (Kam Jones).

Heise is a match up piece that all great teams need- love having him in Ames playing for the good guys.
Me too - especially his stellar defense on Heise's cut to the basket which gave us our lead at the 3 1/2 minute mark.
(gets calculator out, furiously punches buttons, hits clear 3 times to start over, punches more buttons)...
By my math, that's 0%. Is that bad?
The kid is a G league player fringe NBA player at best. Very good but not great shooter, and if he makes it, he will have to improve his percentage of shot making. Right now he is a volume guy, takes a lot of shots to get his points, that type of play will not keep him in the NBA.
EIU last night played their A+ game for the first half, that was the best they have played all season, and then they reverted back to their norm in the 2nd half. Still ended up making right at their season average in 3 pointers for a game at 10, they just go 9 of them in the first half.
I think he is a great shooter if he takes good shots. He takes too many bad shots.
I knew we were going to win when they couldn’t stretch the lead out any further than around 11 and they were hitting everything. That’s like a 3 point lead in the Big 12.
1st half was essentially a perfect half for Iowa, offensively and defensively. And Iowa State was only down 7 at half. Other Iowa State teams are likely down ~20.
Obvious Iowa is unable sustain that level of effort for a full a game, much less multiple games. Momentum kept tilting towards Iowa State as the 2nd half wore on.
Edit: I still don't know why our guards don't get calls in the paint. Frustrating watching them play through contact while we were getting called for the same contact on the other end.
