And the 1st half showed ISU can blow Iowa out of the water if they play to their potential.
Seems to be the case with most of ISU's games this year.
Neither team is 24 points better than the other, and both halves reflected the complete crap that both teams are capable of. Both halves also show how decent each team can be if they hit their shots and take care of the ball.
Re: Most boring game ever?
Between watching Aaron White try to act like hes a good player, to refs trying to make up for anothers mistake, to just a ****** off at the world ref trying to get in everyones face..... I thought it was pretty fun.

Jesus, SplitIdentity needs to get a grip on things. The talent on the floor is CLEARLY different. I seriously don't think there is one player in Iowa's starting lineup that I would take over a player in ISU's. Seriously.
When we felt like we needed to play, we killed Iowa. Iowa is AWFUL, Iowa State isn't even close to that.

See what I did there?
Iowa played like **** in the first half, ISU played like **** in the 2nd. If both teams played up to their potential, ISU would win, no doubt, but it wouldn't be a 20 point blowout.

It just got more fun trying to understand what that post means.

Well then. I guess you have me there. ISU just "let" Iowa pull to within 8 with 38 seconds left. I suppose you could be right. But then again, what does that say about the effort of the team, and about the coaching?
The only reason Iowa was even partly able to claw back and make this a close game was because Iowa State clearly had it won AND the referees mucked it up so bad that Iowa was able to hang in.
It was honestly pretty clear to me that our intensity level was gone in the second half. When Iowa did get a little closer, we'd push it right back out to 20 again. Once it was at 20 with a few minutes to go, we didn't need to extend it again because the game was completely over. I agree with the end of your post though, it's discouraging that we didn't continue to pour it on.
No, Iowa closed the gap in the final 2:36. Iowa State led 79-59 with 2:36 to go.
Just reading the last page here but are Iowa fans really flaunting that they came within 8 with 38 seconds left? Gotta celebrate the little things I guess.
I have supported our Clones all this young season,even when others didn't, but the second half just left me feeling empty after the first half performance.I really wanted a 25 - 30 and hang 100. We've got to do that against teams like Iowa to have a chance in B12. I guess I'm just depressed after the first half.
For those who didn't hear, VB is ELITE!!!!
ISU beats Minny at Minny 3-1, plays Florida State tomorrow night.
