*** Official #8 IOWA STATE vs #5 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

[HFCS]

We will blow Houston out again if we play them in B12T or NCAA.

On a neutral court we beat them pretty clearly even without best players. I say they get bounced early in ncaa with an officiating crew not afraid of Sampson.

Pot, meet kettle

 

[ClonerJams]

The flagrant 1 that got reversed would have helped

I don't know if we win had they got that right, but the momentum changed at that point.

 

[Cyched]

Not at all despondent. Houston shot stupid well. We beat them at full strength.

 

[jspeels]

Truly mad props to this team and staff today!! I will admit, I stopped watching for a bit. They have shown this is a true culture! We beat this Houston team at full strength! No doubt! They even needed some ref help to pull this off! Go State!

 

[Prone2Clone]

Outstanding effort today. Too bad it was marred by some dog-**** officiating. I am praying we get Houston in KC.

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

******* sucks.

You’re only the 100th poster to question it. So, IDGAF

 

[ISUTex]

Of course. What is the spread in this game?

 

[ScottyP]

Pounding inside lately didn’t work

 

[Erik4Cy]

I want to beat them and beat them by a large margin in KC

 

[Thomasrickj]

Whelp, not coming away with a win but these guys put together a hell of a second half. With either Gilbert or Jones (not even both) I think we would’ve won this one.

 

[CloniesForLife]

That reversal on the Heise foul really just killed our game. Huge momentum change

 

[RING4CY]

Houston having to shoot lights out to beat a shorthanded Iowa State.

Cyclones are going to be fine as long as they can get and remain healthy.

 

[ChickenNuggetMan]

I honestly did not have a problem with Houston before today. But after today **** them. They get the home game, they get our depleted roster. And it STILL took some of the worst officiating and the luckiest shots to beat us.

Any other combination of factors and we beat their asses.

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

They won’t shoot like this the rest of the season

 

[isuno1fan]

Expected result. Good effort. Is what it is.

 

[clone1990]

Love the effort by the team. Nice work men!

 

[CloneLawman]

So it took extremely hot shooting and complicit refs to beat an undermanned team. We've got these ******* in the tourney.

 

[CYDJ]

Let's be honest. Their team is better than our team when 2 of our best starters are gone. By like 10 points and 3 refs.
