*** Official #2 Houston vs #6 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Hopefully we saved a little something after Saturday, weather is going to unbelievable for the middle of February.
 
Kingston is coming off probably 2 of his worst shooting games going 2-9 and 2-15. He's a volume guy so it's important to be aggressive with him early and get him rattled with his own shot. The quick turnaround along with traveling is not in his favor. We got 4 different guys and a capable big of really bothering him.

Jefferson hasn't stopped shooting free throws since after the Kansas game so I'm thinking he's not gonna miss any tonight.

Don't fall in love with the first open 3 just because it's kinda open since they blitz the ball screens. Drive and make their defense scramble. Can always kick it back out for an open 3.

I feel good about tonight after watching our defense take hold of adidas U on Saturday plus our offense getting it going and the deafening crowd In Hilton should be a good combo for a cyclone victory over the coogs clone 71- Houston 66
 
Back to back games with Fran and Sciambi is a good thing. We have as good of defense as Houston and a better offense. Get an early lead and control the game. 72-59 good guys. Go Clones!
This game will be no place for the timid. This will be a war - grown men’s game.
I hope your score is correct. I gave you an “ optimistic.” I expect us to win a closely contested game.

Holy Cow - This game cannot be too hyped.
Maybe the biggest game outside the tourney in TJ era?
Maybe the best game of the season for all of MBB?
2 of the best if not the 2 best coaches in the country?
Big Monday

Whooooeeeee this one is going to be a dinger.

Because he is still the father of ISU basketball:

Thanks Rulzzz!
Besides the players and coaches, 2 big factors will be the refs and the crowd. How the game is officiated will impact both teams. There could be a bunch of guys in foul trouble and a lot of FTs.
If the crowd is like Saturday, advantage Cyclones.
Those with weak hearts might want to watch a recording tomorrow.
Cyclones 76
Cougars 75
Milan fade-away at the buzzer.
 
One adjustment we saw on Saturday is that we weren't completely selling out on the double teams and we really flustered Kansas.
