*** Official IOWA STATE VS #8 Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

WOW, that was painful, nerve racking, and frustrating, but most importantly one huge win

 

[mb7299]

whew, we needed that one. Doubt we'll have a shot at the conference title but we have shown we can be a 3rd place or so team which would be a decent seed for the tournament.

 

[clonedude]

YES!!!!!!

Still in good shape. A REALLY good road win to wipe out the KSU loss at home, although KSU loss won't end up being a bad loss at all IMO.

Need to definitely work on some inbounds plays though. Nearly cost us that game. TT missed a ton of FTs for us, but at least we took advantage. Win and move on baby!

 

[timappelgate]

Now RESPOND to this win!

What an erotic victory

Not sure if you meant erratic or actually meant erotic.

 

[LindenCy]

Big win. Why did we have to lose both last week? This helps a ton though.

 

[Dandy]

What an erotic victory

That’s not a word I would have used but I mean yeah good win!

 

[jsb]

Honestly, we didn’t deserve to win that game with that last 4 minute stretch. We got a huge win on the road, so I’m ecstatic, but man, that was brutal to watch.

Then Kansas State didn’t deserve to win after blowing the lead late against us Saturday.

Alls fair in love and basketball.

Respect for the team and coach. Now let’s win the next 2.

 

[Cardinal2001]

Damn, if we take those other 2 games? Damn.

 

[Die4Cy]

This takes some of the sting out of Saturday's game.

Had to beat a top ten team at home just to get back on track, hopefully they don't waste the opportunity ahead.

 

[SWCy13]

Massive win. Feels lucky but more than happy to have that one

The end of the game was a bit sketchy (inbound the ******* basketball), but we thoroughly outplayed them for 36+ minutes.

 

[dmdom]

Prohm goes from being run out town to ticker tape parade in a matter of seconds.

Name another ISU team that looks like world beaters and a last place Big 12 team - not within the same season, week, game, or even half - but all within a 5-minute time span. This team is pretty much the definition of Jekyll and Hyde.

The 12-13 team comes to mind...14-15 too. Just off the top of my head.

You're right though--not on all cylinders at all. But to win at #8 like that...why not?

 

[cyrocksmypants]

Also, don’t know if this was covered in thread, but what the **** was the deal with Tech fans chanting airball all game on THT? I know they’re not used to winning and their fans have only started caring about basketball for the first time ever over the course of the last 12 months, but come on. That was just dumb.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Go Air Force!

 

[67CY]

Great win for the Cyclones

 

[kentkel]

When they tied it 61-61, I was like "here we go again" (not in a good way) - but, holy cow, two quick buckets and we were on our way. Thank you Shayok for your 85% FT percentage (which you topped tonight)! He's about the only one I trust in those "must-need" FT situations! My heart can hardly handle most of these conference games!!!

 

[Gordilly]

After that, who's up for a TACO TACO TACO COMBO?

 

[Thomasrickj]

Not sure if you meant erratic or actually meant erotic.

I’m pretty sure he meant both.
