D-WAT with the swat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 53-49 at half.

Beat me, lol

 

[1TwistedCyclone]

I love team basketball. Fight, fight, fight!!!

 

[cyatheart]

BYU can't play a lot better than that. Not sure we can either.

 

[cyclonehomer]

Now just do that again. Easy.

 

[Kinch]

53 points down two guards.

Milan with the post game today.

I like that we use that advantage more than he used to. Make them pay for switching.

 

[AllInForISU]

Jefferson initiating the offense has some shades of Royce or Big Georges running the offense.

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.

 

[NorthCyd]

Great first half. Lots of teams would have folded under similar circumstances the way the game started but these guys have a lot of fight. Not sure the pace of this game is sustainable for ISU but proud of these guys regardless of how the game turns out.

 

[Cychl82]

Man I love this team

 

[CycloneVet]

Need Keldermann or someone and ISU needs to be patient on offense for once.

Kelderman is needed to get Curtis off the ball. Need to keep his legs fresh. I would also run a play for Kelderman to shoot the 3. He drills it then they have to guard him to spread the floor.

 

[ChickenNuggetMan]

What a rally the second part of that half!

 

[Malone]

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

Dumb, du-dumb-dumb-dumb

 

[Erik4Cy]

BYU is 7/7 at FT line, defense without fouling and rebounding is the key.

If ISU Ds up and rebounds, I think they got this

 

[CentexCyclone]

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.

Cyclones def have the advantage inside. I like the Mommy and CuJo 3s, but need to start pushing BYU around and drawing more fouls.

 

[Dgilbertson]

What a half. Love these boys. Kelserman playing solid, meaningful minutes and hitting a 3.

Presidents playing solid.

CuJo playing unconscious.

DWat and Jackson with blocks for the defensive stop.

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.

They're grabbing us out top, and we're not getting calls down low either.

 

[Jeffreyisu]

This is elite basketball for both teams.
