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

[isucy86]

Typically I would agree with trying to reference things from way in the past, but Iowa State literally did struggle @ Colorado for decades. All coaches. All players. They all struggled in Boulder. We rarely won there.

Well good thing Hawaii, Ames and KC are near sea level.

I'd rather win those 3 games. Not going 4-0 isn't something I'm going to lose sleep over.

Pardon my ignorance, but will all of these end up being Quad one wins/losses?

Colorado will be borderline quad 1 on neutral court. Dayton will definitely be a quad 1 win IMO.

Especially since we haven’t force > 12 in either game - and we’ve given up 80+ points. We’re due for a good defensive game.

I'm hoping that happens in a week vs. Marquette.

I'm not sure if ISU's current issues can be fixed in 15 hours since a lot of it looks like a timing and communication issue that needs reps and film study.

The good news is that we're a very good team right now with a likelihood to get even better.

Cancel the game? Don't be a silly.

The teams were announced back when Colorado was still in the Pac-12. Canceling a game because it now happens to be against a conference foe is a ludicrous thought.

I think playing together, and forcing it to happen can do a lot of good. These guys played together last year, and the new guys have been around for a while. They are way ahead of last year.

Dayton looked impressive in both games. They should win a lot of games this year.

Man, I'd love to see them send Uconn home with a third loss, preferably on a last second shot after a controversial call. Hurley would lose his ******* mind!

Can't believe it's already been nine years since we played Colorado in Sioux Falls in 2015. It was Steve Prohm's first game for ISU. We won.

@ImJustKCClone and her hubby Lew sat with me at that game. KC and Lew are at the Maui games. Big omen. We win tonight.

Is Iowa State home team or visiting team vs buffs

I'm guessing your isu history doesn't go back very far. There were 40 years of playing at altitude before tj got here.

That isn't creative that's a long history of isu teams struggling with going to Boulder. Didn't matter who the coach was.

I hope you are right. Maybe conditioning will be the difference, but you can't train for altitude in iowa.

Jefferson has a lot of "conditioning" left to do considering how gassed he's been in this tournament. He'll get there though.

Thanks Rulzzz GO CYCLONES

We didn't get the sexiest matchups outside of Auburn, but if we can come home with two Q1 wins and a blown nailbiter against a team, we owned most of the game, I'd say that's successful.

It really should have been ISU vs Auburn tonight if they seeded it correctly.

 

[Cardinal2001]

I'm not complaining about this trip. Answered the questions I had, and we will continue to grow this season. Can't wait to steal Kansas' lunch money from the press bench in allen fieldhouse, just like when Tinsley was here.

Home according to my score app but not sure that means anything.

DOES THIS COUNT AS A CONFERENCE GAME?

DOES THIS COUNT AS A CONFERENCE GAME?

I don't think so, but I don't know the official verdict.

 

[Cardinal2001]

I don't think so, but I don't know the official verdict.

per the Register:
Despite Wednesday's game being between two Big 12 teams, it will not count toward conference standings. The two teams, however, will be playing for fifth-place honors at the Maui Invitational. Tip-off is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. CT. The game will be featured on ESPN2.
