*** Official #25 Texas Tech vs #11 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[dahliaclone]

I’ve seen a lot of bad wins. That was one hell of a turd sandwich.

How big was that three to end the first half now?! Good lord.

This proves how difficult every single game will be in this league.

But it’s a win

Not only was that a horrible and painful game to watch…. it went almost 2 1/2 hours too….. ugghhh.

I think the game was canceled and ESPN showed a replay of the Jackson State game

 

[marothisu]

Frustrating game...I'll take the W after that **** show

 

[awd4cy]

As brutal of a win is that was, I still feel confident that that short handed Tech team is probably no worse than a full strength Iowa or Memphis team.

 

[jctisu]

Great grit again from the guys to gut that out. They have to be just as frustrated with the offense, but instead of folding they got the job done. Goes down as a great win on the resume no matter how you slice it. Hope we have that random breakthrough offensive night next game. Due for one.

This cannot be said enough.

You let any team obstruct movement like they did TT, and it will be ugly.

It gets really ugly when you're already limited, and your coaching staff gets worked by making zero adjustments

It almost seemed like they were stubbornly not doing anything different content to have the 5 pt leas through most of the second half.

Boy, was that an unsatisfying win. Honestly surprised they pulled it out given how that second half went..

ANY win is great and Tech is likely a tourney team.

2 wins out of this early conference stretch would be great so half way there.

I'm actually pumped up by how ISU dug in late and did it.

Telling that TJ had Hunter on the bench down the stretch

Eustachy win. PLay like crap and still pull out a win. Saw some real dogs during those years.

 

[WhoISthis]

Can’t wait for that return matchup in Lubbock.

It will depend on how they call the game.

This team is way too limited on offense if the opposing defense is allowed to limit freedom of movement

 

[cyballrulz93]

Welcome back to the Tim Floyd time machine. A win is a win

Exactly. Take the W and go home.

 

[allfourcy]

I hope we don't play anyone good on Sat.!!?.... I'll see myself out.

 

[dahliaclone]

You can only pump sunshine at all times. No way you can be rational about how good we are on defense and how anemic we are on offense. Don't you dare try to analyze some of the things we need to improve in order to win in the Big 12 and make the NCAA Tournament. Don't you dare!

Oh how high and mighty of you. Stupid post.

 

[spitfyr36]

What was the line on the game? Did that last second 3 cost anyone their mortgage?

not the mortgage, but grabbed the under at 96 bout halfway through the 2nd… it’s always a banked 3

 

[CySmurf]

U.G.L.Y....but a win.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Ugly game offensively but every win in this league is gonna be a grind.

 

[SEIOWA CLONE]

That game set back college basketball about 20 years. If you had told someone after watching it, that the two teams were ranked #11 and #25 in the nation, no one would believe you.

It's a conference win, but man, was it ugly to watch.
