*** Official #12 IOWA STATE vs #17 BYU Game(Day) Thread ***

Eric compared it to the pop tart bowl.

Whatever happens the next 24 minutes, I think it's pretty obvious we have to be locked in as a 3 seed considering we're missing 2 of the best players in the conference.

You spelled country wrong, but yes.

 

[clone1990]

God dammit TJ play Watson more.

Yep. Some have mentioned it on here several times. Times like these are why playing time earlier in the season is valuable. Oh wait, I’m not a DI coach so I can’t have an opinion.

 

[CycloneVet]

We aren't getting fouls on them as we aren't taking it at them. Not going to gripe Cujo's 3's, but we have to go to the hole.

I’d expect driving lanes to open after that shooting performance

 

[Erik4Cy]

Looks at those poor little BYU kids that don’t understand how brainwashed they are

Dumb, du-dumb-dumb-dumb

 

[cyclones500]

What a half!

 

[CyberJJJ]

As long as he isn’t loose with the ball, I love it. He’s been too turnover prone this year for me to have a ton of confidence of it working long term, but today, seems like it’s working.

If I were scouting him, I would bring the double team as soon as he turns his back up by the FT line.

Play solid D, contest the 3s & don't foul
Protect the ball (no unforced turnovers)
Attack Saunders & the paint in general, then it opens up our 3s
Let's do this

Just like Kelderman, right?

Opinions are like ********. Don't make yourself doubly blessed.

Was the key to unlocking our offense removing both of our primary ball handlers from the lineup?

 

[Erik4Cy]

Bragging about how good BYU is when scoring 80+ pts really wants me to see ISU put a 100 burger on them beating them in regulation, lol

 

[TinsleyFan11]

Maybe Tamin and Keshon were the problem offensively?

 

[madguy30]

I think ISU will need to hit a couple more I think early and then still hit one here and there.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Very good first half. Didn’t panic when we got down 10 and reversed it back on them.

Let’s do this

Patrick Ewing effect.

Need to add a jimlad.

 

[acoustimac]

This is elite basketball for both teams.

This may be a game determined by free throws. It had best be our guys getting the opps and making them. BYU is premier shooting those things.

 

[RezClone]

Maybe we should rename Ames to 'Jonestown' !!

...oh wait...

 

[Cychl82]

what happened to flagg?

Rolled his ankle pretty damn bad
