When the other team plays physical D but gets 4x less fouls, ISU is the luckiest team in universe. I understand. When an opposing player kicks ISU and gets rewarded that’s like finding a 4 leaf clover.

I'll go so far as to say Tre was the second player of the game for us. Down the stretch he made about 4 critical plays split between offense and defense. His physicality is different from anyone else on this team. I like everything about his 18 minutes except for the one 3 he attempted.
Grill was amazing too. How often does a player like him jump off the tape when his scoring output is so bad? 1-6, 3pts but had a hell of a game rebounding and defense. Couple nice assists too.
Watson had an amazing block that TCU eventually scored on so it might not make the highlight reels
Tre King is one of those guys that makes HUGE hustle plays on defense. Active with deflections and other plays that don’t show up with the box score. I think we really lucked out getting this transfer. Seems like a level-headed guy too..
Tre king is a huge add, different team with him out there.
leg kick tech called against K-State 3 minutes in. refs must have watched the early game
Gabe’s only made three, the game winner!!! Interesting stat.
We out rebounded them by 5 it looks like so pretty even. But shot 63% from two! And nice to see they only took 16 threes since they weren't falling.
Osun and Jones completely took Lampkin out of the game. There were 2 plays in a row near the end of the first half where he got 2 offensive rebounds and a put back bucket. The rest of the game he had 4 pts and 1 rebound.

Get 2 wins over the next 1.5 weeks and maybe we can start to wonder what the real ceiling is for this group.
Right now I just want 5-6 more conference wins before March.
According to Miles, he's quite pleased with the game! "It showed we can play with anybody," Miles said. "We didn't play our best game on either defense or offense. We shot bad from the line, we had a lot of turnovers, and we still only lost by two. It shows how good of a team we are.""
And there it is. Couldn't hold it in.
It’s supposed to be a point of emphasis for refs this year to not let shooters do that (supposed to call an offensive foul).
Instead, the ref got fooled and called it the wrong way which almost cost us the game.
Still interesting to see teams talk about the amount of turnovers against us and seemed surprised by it. Like they normally don't turn it over that much, but for some reason they did today.
Do we need a special teams coach for free throws???
