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

[fsanford]

ISU showing they are a deep team.

If somehow Lipsey and Gilbert can play productive minutes in NCAA it could be fun.

Team is a chamelion can play multiple ways.

Think legs may tire in the 2nd half and could be hard to hang on. But game has been a pleasant surprise all things considered

10/17 from three in a half is epic, but a little worried we’re only up 4 with that.

Rebound, limit their scoring runs, take care of the ball and we can do this!

 

[VeloClone]

I generally make a point of not visiting game threads during the game but...

HOOO. LEEEE. ****!

 

[Nor'MidWester]

I imagine we're revert to the mean in the second half (already started at the end of the first) but hoping they prove me wrong!

 

[heitclone]

Milan has been good in the 2nd half lately, great time for him to take over.

 

[IcSyU]

I disagree with Fran though...we were not good on the boards. We still gave up 37.5% offensive boards. That's terrible.

 

[helechopper]

look for an emphasis on defense and pounding it inside the second half. Hot shooting 3s a bonus.

 

[loyalsons4evertrue]

Hopefully we can keep the offense humming

Too many fouls and OREBs given up. BYU has played a lot of mistake-free ball apart from a few more missed shots than us.

 

[CyberCy79]

The thing that gave a shot

That is a good summary. I saw he went nuts in the first half.

And Watson blocked a shot at the buzzer. Hope he sees more minutes.

 

[Marcelason78]

And we held our own on the boards and didn't give up a ton of +1's.

And Saunders had zero FT attempts. Keep it up boys!

 

[Lineup]

Heise playing hard as anyone we need him he is showing his true colors

 

[Thomasrickj]

BYU was starting to swarm Jones and force him into turnovers after making 19 points in less than 5 minutes by himself. Hopefully the guys can figure out ways to help Jones out quickly so that he isn’t forced into a ton of turnovers.

 

[Die4Cy]

22 points in 5 minutes of game time?

 

[NorthCyd]

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.

You're allowed to have an opinion. Of course Watson had seen very little playing time and came in and played quite well after Milans injury, so facts don't really back up your opinion, but please feel free to let us hear it regardless.

FOUL!

Rebound

This is my key to the game.

Everything is important, but HAVE to rebound when BYU misses. Didn't do that in Hilton
