    Houston just lost Tugler

    Houston's other back-up big, Roberts, received stitches on his right hand (during the game) on Saturday. He still played after the stitches, but was demonstrably only using his left hand when catching/putting up shots around the rim/blocking shots.

    Physical play vs FOULS

    Two of those on the road. The 16 minutes of offensive struggles in the first half vs Oklahoma was a little worrisome (16 points with 4 minutes left in the first half). Some of that was missing easy-ish shots and most of it was little-to-no movement on offense. Movement was much better in the...

    NA Beers that dont taste like monkey butt

    I've never had hop water, curious to how it compares to a generic beer? Also curious if anyone has tried the actual brand 'Hop Wtr' and their various flavors?

    Dear Houston

    I want to say Cryer and Flagler hit some tough, contested 2nd half shots against us at Hilton on New Years Day 2022 (Baylor was ranked #1 at the time). Not a bunch of points between them but made shots to stop ISU runs. I remember thinking during the game that I wasn't sure what more ISU could...

    And the bowl game vs Notre Dame.

    Best Iowa State point guard

    Tinsley would have been getting to the rim at will in Hoiberg's offense, similar to Kane bullying his way into the paint. Can't sag off shooters so he would have been seeing a lot of iso/1v1.

    Senior Eligibility

    Lots of playing time to offer transfer bigs next year. I believe that was the catalyst in landing Osunniyi (really wish he would have stayed healthy last season).

    Iowa State is the new Press Virginia

    Agreed. Rob and Ward still seem to reach/get a little handsy out by the 3 point line, when it's completely unnecessary. Good for a couple fouls a game. Watch TJ's reaction after one of those fouls; he'll smile, put his hands in the air as if to say "I've told you this a thousand times".

    Game MVP?

    Huge. Never let Cinci go on any sort of run in the 2nd half. Maybe a 4-0/5-0 run, but we responded EVERY time.

    Best Iowa State point guard

    Eustachy talked about the end of that season in his podcast with CW and Blum. Said he absolutely worked that team too hard (regretted it) and they had nothing left in the tank after clinching the regular season title.

    Best Iowa State point guard

    One of which played in the NBA (other than Tinsley). Using your logic, Tyrese had 3 NBA players on his team (Shayok, Wigginton, THT). Morris had 6 NBA players on his team(s) (Niang, BDJ, Nader, Matt Thomas, Naz, Burton). Who had more support on their team(s)?

    Best Iowa State point guard

    Now you are just making stuff up. Tinsley has better per game numbers in points, steals, assists, and rebounds (blocks are tied) over the course of their Iowa State career.

    Best Iowa State point guard

    Not only point guards, I think Tinsley is a top 3 player to ever play at Iowa State. Take him off the teams he was on and I don't think they achieve anywhere near the level success they had. Runner-up national player of the year in 2001. First team All-American in 2001 (1 of 4 in Iowa State's...

    Teams You'd Prefer to Avoid/Play in March

    The BYU-KSU game on Saturday was playing out essentially the same way as our game at BYU did. However, against KSU, BYU started missing those open 3 point looks and that game suddenly got close. Granted, we turned the ball over quite a bit at BYU, but our game could have looked completely...

    Please, not #9!

    I don't think it has anything to do with rankings, moreso that it's a conference road game, against an athletic team, in a tough environment. Not surprising if we win and certainly not surprising if we lose.

    Teams You'd Prefer to Avoid/Play in March

    Would like to avoid a guard-oriented, volume 3 point shooting team (or a volume 3 point shooting/jump shot team in general). You can get behind quick when the other team is hitting tough, contested 3 point shots.

    Lol. The trajectories of both basketball programs since that thread is certainly something to look back on.

    Carr and Rice lead that team last year after Beard's dismissal. Backcourt of Hunter/Abmas is a big downgrade from Carr/Rice, defensively and offensively.
