ISU @ Houston/Big Monday

[madguy30]

No you don’t. You don’t change anything during a streak. Dahliaclone is going to have a bad feeling about this one, I’m not changing my underwear and my son and I are not communicating before the game.

I've also expected a lull or February swoon so I'll expect that Monday night.

I'm too lazy and bad at maths...what has Curtis Jones been like in that time frame?

He's just seemed to be solid if not exceptional everywhere.

14 pts/game 35% from 3. Only 4 TOs.

 

[cyatheart]

Undisciplined?

Agree, they are the last thing from undisciplined. I can't think of a team that is more disciplined.

You can say they aren't great in the half court set, or not that skilled offensively. But they are plenty disciplined

14 pts/game 35% from 3. Only 4 TOs.

2 steals a game. Only 1 TO in the past 5 games.

I'm really happy about our play the last four games. Defense has been incredible. Offense good, but has it's lulls. Had we beaten Baylor I do believe that would've been 6 straight wins.

I actually think we can knock off Houston Monday at their house. HOUSTON IS NOT UNDISCIPLINED. But offensively are extremely proficient. Going to take a great game from us on both sides of the ball but I do believe we can do it.

West Virginia at home kind of feels like a conference trap game to me. They attack on defense and press which has been the M.O. for years. Hope I'm wrong. Then I think we clobber Oklahoma in payback with our conference opener.

We'll win out at home. WV sucks, and OU is bad on the road.
Monday night is a toss-up, but that's how a game for 1st place should be by now.

And I'll cuff my carrot 5 hours before tip off.

I first read this as CUT OFF my carrott and I was impressed by your dedication

 

[Clone95]

I think we can win out after Monday. If Baylor can beat UH at home then we’ll all have to cheer for KU the last game of the season.

Your last words don't make any sense. I'd delete them if I were you.

If we lose Monday and win out after that, we’ll be 14-4. If UH loses to Baylor, they’ll need to lose to KU to end up 13-5. Sorry if I’m not good at showing my work.

If we both only lose one more game, we’ll both be 14-4 and we would be co big 12 champs. Or am I missing something?

Exactly. I’d rather be 1st outright

This team can win out and control their own destiny. UH doesn’t scare me. We handled them pretty well in Ames and this team has improved significantly since then.

 

[NorthCyd]

Sampsons locked in. We'll see if his team can match it.

 

[clonehome]

I think using any stat from before TJ is pretty silly. TJ is 2-0 at Hilton against TT, including a 30 point win last season.

Spot on. The last 4 years of Prohm created all kinds of record anomalies, including at Hilton. He had a 9-9 Big 12 season in 2019 and the rest was garbage.

 

[bosco]

The opportunity this game provides goes beyond the obvious B12 title. To perform with a lot on the line with a huge national audience. Good for the team to experience the pressure and learn from it ahead of the The Tournament.

 

[ISUATC]

14 pts/game 35% from 3. Only 4 TOs.

Jones had zero points in the first game against Houston and Gilbert had 9. If they keep trending like they have, I like our chances in this one.

 

[Jayshellberg]

Not sure if ISU will win tomorrow or not, but they’re more than capable. This team has a lot of players who can beat you and their chemistry is undeniable. I expect them to give Houston all they can handle. Enjoy the ride.

We're a 7 point dog on the road against an NCAA tournament 1 seed. The game is not a toss up as someone said earlier in this thread.

That said, if there's any team that has the toughness to go into this situation and come out with a win, it's us. Not expecting a W, but very much hoping for one.

And if we don't get the W, there are still several huge games left on the schedule. This game does not determine the championship.

Like any road game you just hope ISU has a chance late.

 

[cyatheart]

Yeah there is no downside to this game. If we win great, if we lose it doesn’t really matter. All upside.
