Not that I wish to put more work on you @CycloneRulzzz, but here's to this being the second of four straight game day threads you start! 
*** Official #7 IOWA STATE vs #16 Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
It will be interesting to see if TJ modifies his trap defense this time out with TT.
Thanks Rulzzz clones in a payback game today for their only loss by Yosemite Sam at Hilton play the intense defense like yesterday and win the boards we get the W 84-77
Thanks @CycloneRulzzz !
Revenge.
Come out with focus, intent, and purpose to dictate the game on both ends. And do it early.
Inside out on offense
Contested shots on defense
We make more shots than last time.
They make less.
TT 68
ISU 80

Why don't they just win by about 50 every game?
They shot really well against BYU on Saturday, but only for a half and weren't able to sustain. That said, they are our only Hilton loss so I'm not comfortable predicting anything. They still hit 16/35 (45%) and lost by 6. To beat them while shooting like that would take almost a herculean type effort it seems.
Because the defibrillator manufacturers need customers.
TT shooting closer to 30% on 3s and turning them over more often would certainly help, but I’m looking at the other end - ISU can’t afford to sleepwalk offensively through large stretches of games like they have been the last several weeks. What will help is we’ve already played a game on this court and environment.
Put all those things together… I don’t think we’ll win by 49 like yesterday (TT is way too good to expect that again), but I would expect a better result than the last time we played TT.
I only saw the 2nd half yesterday but thought ISU's timing on D looked more synched up and anticipatory.
And offense was more patient which is easier with ASU looking like they mailed it in.
Hopefully they can maintain that today as Tech likely pressures the arc more.
We played like crap when we last played them and still almost beat them. Got to be focused on the defensive end and we will be fine.
anderson is a hell of a guard and can see the floor/pass out of our double teams so we need to be ready to rotate quickly.

Winning is fun.
If they lose no big deal more rest for legs.
So I guess I cannot complain about anything today
If Tech hits 45% + from 3 they probably win, if they don't they wont
Would like us to defend the in as such if Tech is forced to drive can they hit layups? Don't over help
