ISU vs Texas Tech Postgame

[kentkel]

Glad for a win! The two complaints I had was 1) the poor close-outs on TT's perimeter players which led to some very easy lay-ups for them and, 2) sometimes got lost on their shooters where two of our guys were guarding the same person and no communication to cover up the wide-open player (which was usually Hannahs). However, that is nit-picking - I was very impressed by our excellent 8pt run when TT tied it up 50-50.

So, lemme see if I have this right- Houge was sick and TT doesn't have many fans? Got it

Good road win to start the big 12 gauntlet. Go Cyclones!

Not going to think about this one too much since ISU had lost like the last 5 of 6 or 6 of 7 in Lubbock.

Thank God Monte was on today. Matt did better too, just wish he would shoot more and get some plays set up for him. Good job by the Freshmen though. Everybody needs to learn to finish inside though....dunk the damned ball if you have to! Not impressed with Kane today, but everybody gets a pass once in a while. But him shooting 3's like he did was not the way back into this.

Would like to have seen SDW, Edozie and even Gibson get some minutes today. If you don't play them against Tech on the road, then who are you going to play them against? Plus, the guys looked tired out there at times today. You can't play them this much and expect them to have much left at season's end in the Big 12. Niang looked like he was wiped out at times. Surprised there were not more in the rotation today.

I wonder if Hogue was sick or something?

Who was sick? What was the attendance for the game?

 

[isuchicago]

Anyone else glad Tech came back? Those types of moments test us and make us finish. We learn less from a blowout.

Good win!

Learning a lesson and not receiving a loss to go with that lesson. I completely agree.

SDW did play for maybe two minutes I though

Stat-wise, we were 5-19 from 3, matching a season low. 24-29 from the line was excellent, and for the second game in a row we had only 5 turnovers. We gave up too many offensive rebounds again (9), although not nearly as bad as NIU.

A win is a win, a road win is big. Even if it is Tech.

Echo the sentiment about Morris, very solid game . TechT has some talent like Crockett so a road win is never going to be easy. Teams just don't seem to shoot as well on the road. Naz is now 3 for 17 from 3 pt away from Hilton.

Frustrating second half when they got hot but a good road win with Hogue not playing much being sick. A win is a win.

 

[MaccloNe]

A team with that many headbands doesn't deserve to win.

Guys, Hogue was sick.

 

[WDMCyclone]

Also, Monte was awesome out there. He is going to be great.

 

[Acylum]

In b4 Hogue was sick.

 

[MaccloNe]

Why was Hogue out?

 

[cmjh10]

Do we storm the court?

 

[RedlineSi]

Hogue must have been sick.

 

[clonedude]

Yeah, game ball should go to Morris IMO. He was solid. Yes, others filled the stat sheet more, but Morris was the glue that kept us together down the stretch IMO.

Was Hogue sick?
