*** Official #5 Kansas State vs #12 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[twincyties]

Despite the announcers love affair with Nowell (which - to be totally objective - is not unfounded) Holmes put up as much production tonight with far less usage.

Anybody know the Jeff Van Gundy connection? He was wearing an ISU hat

He’s a TJ fan.

Good to know, if true. I was wondering the same.

 

[NorthCyd]

All right, were in the heat of the Big XII race! Things are really getting interesting! Next up we haaaaaave...... a road game at Missouri.

Jeff Van Gundy...were you not entertained??? He looked good in an ISU cap.

Does anyone know the connection?

Announcers mentioned they’re friends and that this second time JVG has been to Ames. Also something about TJ’s practices being closed, but does let JVG in.

I didn’t catch how they know each other though

Great game by Holmes.

He's had some really good games. Great game also from Kalsheur, and Osunniyi!

But Holmes won this game for us.

I don't remember the details, but @brentblum knows. He talked about it on one of the podcasts.

I’m just relieved I don’t have to see John Kurtz’s smug, punchable face showing up in my YouTube feed this week.

A few of my favorites from the pre-game portion. @SerenityNow wins the pre-game prediction award for closest to actual final score.

1st place, here we come!

Play hard, play sound, play smart and Defend Hilton!!!
Purple Kansas must be destroyed.

This is just another night where if ISU pulls it off, you get off the court ASAP and don't look back.

We rallied when Jaz went down. We rally if Caleb is out.
ISU wins by 5.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Welllll...tied for 1st with Texas and K-State.

Welllll we have tie breaker

 

[bawbie]

Crazy stat of the game: KSU went 6-7 on 3s in the second half - and we outscored them by 6

Crazier stat of the game: KSU's "bigs" (Tomlin, Iyoila and Massoud), who average 11.5 rebounds per game, had ZERO. The three of them combined to not get a single rebound. I don't think I've ever seen that!

 

[cyatheart]

Only this was a solid they were playing extremely well and we still beat them. Plus they will will be a low seed tourney team in the end.

K state going to lose a few road games yet for sure.

 

[Neptune78]

HomeDawgs!!!!!!

 

[twincyties]

You tell me KSU shoots 9-16 from deep and over 50% overall with even free throw attempts I would have bet you a mortgage payment we don’t win that game.

Did I hear TJ right? Gabe and Jaren shot 15-22 fg?

 

[Cyclones8824]

My amateur lip reading skills are telling me the student section shot just now had them chanting "Big **** Brock" lol

They were

Correct.

 

[Bob f]

Holmes and Kalscheur ARE one of the best guard duos in the country.

Get grill healthy, an look the **** out. Let's roll mother fukkers!!!!!

 

[twincyties]

Yep. Holmes 8-11 and Gabe 7-11.
