That is one bright blue pinstripe suit. Wow.

We sure don't play like the 4th oldest team in the country. 4th oldest teams should never lose to young Iowa teams.

We'll see if they can keep this Texas team from getting comfortable...because if they do, it's going to get very interesting late.

 

[cygrads]

It would be great to get off to a good start.

 

[CycloneErik]

Starting to think that TJ is the Matt Thomas Whisperer.

Let it go. It was a month ago and should remain as meaningless as any other year they play each other.

 

[jaj040]

Monte is tae?

 

[CycloneErik]

Suffocating defense. Our guys are everywhere.

 

[CycloneErik]

Burton is feeling a real facilitator role, commentator man.
Somehow, that's leading to him scoring, too.

When he plays like this, Deonte is so much fun to watch.

 

[atlantacyclone]

That's more like it! Go Cyclones!

 

[madguy30]

I actually had no idea he kicked another guy today.

Googs it...looks awfully suspicious and not too incidental for a guy who's coming off a suspension.

Or maybe his junior year was the exception, not the rule.

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

47 shots taken to their 28 and they have 6 more rebounds than we do. Very unusual.

 

[Althetuna]

Nice. A fast start. Good O and good D.

Him and Morris both seem to shine in that role imo.

This team looks alright when everyone's doing about the same thing around ball movement rather than needing someone to be in charge.

 

[ianoconnor]

This team has a ton of potential if we can get more performances like this from Burton

I think with Niang in the lineup he had more open shots whenever Niang got doubled in the post. No post threat means his defender can just stay with him all game.

Burton is a fifth year senior, he is what he is. Capable of putting up 25 against a really good team or going 2/11 with bad defense against a very average team. He's not going to be consistent.

 

[CycloneErik]

Yeah. Same idea but different?
It's a shame. I picture how crazy things would or will be with him on a roll.

Of course, everyone can't be dominating at the same time in real life. I'm probably just greedy in my thinking.

JFC, get over it. can't change the past, keep cranking the wins and make the Tourney and hope for the best.
