*** Official #8 IOWA STATE vs #5 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

[quasistellar]

the NIT?

the big ten tournament. They might not even make THAT.

 

[FerShizzle]

Must not be allowed to shoot until the shot clock goes down a bit more it seems.

ISU is really trying to shorten this game and limit possessions.

 

[HFCS]

Dang Fertitta Center is tiny. Being a Pac12 refugee I'd not really been familiar with all the B12's facilities.

They’re as newbie as you.

 

[cal-cyclone]

10 minutes without a FG. Yikes

We can't hit the broad side of a barn, yet we are only down 12. Cryer going nuts with some crazy shooting, if that cools off a bit and we start hitting some shots. We aren't out of this yet.

Uzan traveled

the NIT?

Big Ten Tournament is on the line

 

[alarson]

Just what I was thinking. Getting screwed by the refs. Insert sarcasm

Definitely two things can be true at the same time. Houston is simply playing better and deserves to be ahead, but they also get an extremely favorable whistle from officials not dissimilar from what Huggy's teams used to get.

 

[ISUTex]

If Milan somehow gets hot and Jefferson settles down. There is still a chance.

 

[FerShizzle]

thats a ******* foul? you cant just chuck the ball handler like that. blow the whistle you cowards.

 

[Thomasrickj]

Over 60% shooting for Houston. That’s absurd.

 

[twincyties]

Lipsey trying to take the foul there and they don’t call it. Unreal.

 

[HFCS]

This sh*t Cryer is throwing up can’t be guarded. We’ve defended our asses off so far

They are legit, it just sucks our trio of guards can’t face them and they get to dodge Hilton.

 

[jcf817]

Honestly. Down 12 with a 9 minute FG drought? Not as bad as it could be.

 

[ISUTex]

Big Ten Tournament is on the line

How many teams get left out of the Big 10 tournament?

 

[SportsMan9000]

Despite rough offense we have not looked bad. If we wouldn’t let cryer get to his step back 3 times this is within 8 and a couple of Milan shots from being neck and neck. We aren’t out of this

 

[Clonefan32]

Making everything and we missed a lot. Feels like they have a run in them.

 

[HoustonClone]

thats a ******* foul? you cant just chuck the ball handler like that. blow the whistle you cowards.

Careful, the "you can't blame this game on the refs" crowd is going to come after you.

 

[FerShizzle]

TJ needs to let loose on these officials. the only chance ISU has is with a tighter whistle in the second half.

 

[fsanford]

Houston had more turnovers. Cryer is the difference

 

[HFCS]

Lipsey trying to take the foul there and they don’t call it. Unreal.

Full strength Auburn couldn’t have won that half in that building with Cryer in the zone.

We played pretty solid defense. Half our turnovers were just rewards for Houston fouling.

Offense could be better but not if officiating doesn’t change.
