*** Official #7 IOWA STATE vs #16 Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

Not a foul

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Never should have lost to this Tech team in Hilton. But... also not picking them to go far in the Big tournament. They bad without JT

 

[cloneclone]

Get JJ and tamin out

 

[helechopper]

Aww man, I just feel so bad for Texas Tech.

Been working and just put the game on. I saw on my phone we were down by 8 and now we're up by 22. Superb defense? Lipsey's inability to miss today? Need a quick little rundown of how the team went on this a crazy run to go up by 22.

True but I think that was a bit of a fluke, they hit a lot of tough shots.

Yeah they hit 8 of 9 shots in the final second of a possession...all of them contested and average of 17 feet per shot. Bet that hasn't happened in years in CBB

This floor works for a three-point shooting contest or a slam dunk contest. Not a high-level game.

Didn't the NBA use it? Just for all star game or something right? Wonder if so many games on it over a short period of time is making it even more slippery.

Let's not get sloppy late

I'm watching the game on a 32 inch TV at an airport bar with no volume. Please tell me TJ has put Mitchell in by now

It was my winning posts in this game thread that powered us to victory.

It's just not practical. Imagine the software failing when a game-tying three pointer is made but they can't see the line on the floor to review if it was a three or not.

 

[Texbudman]

After today, I'm not sure what winning more Big 12 tourney games gets us. Even if we win out I'm not sure it moves the dial on a #2 seed, "the committee" hasn't shown in the past to really give a sh*t about conference tourney results for that sort of thing.

I think we can still get a 2

 

[Cyinthenorth]

**** Arizona. Hope ucf knocks em out

 

[simply1]

If TJ trots out this team tomorrow and adjustments were not made its on TJ if an injury happens.

What about every other coach today and tomorrow?

 

[SolterraCyclone]

Top player blow a knee and drop from a lottery pick. Nobody should have to worry about that!

Dybantsa or Peterson get hurt on this thing, there will be a firestorm on the conference office

I hope we never see it again, even if we end up winning it all

Pleta is going to need to learn to dribble. He had like a 5 step dunk in the first half on a run out and then there he should have had a teavel before the foul. Other guys doing well with ball handling though.

Dust, humidity, so many things to create unique conditions on a surface like that over several days.

 

[JP4CY]

you gotta get lipsey out at the under 4. the slipping is a problem

his groins are as thin as @JP4CY hair.

I feel like a recent NBA All-Star game had some similar floor-gimmick.
