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



One of Jeff’s great friends that is an attorney in Houston (where JVG coached/lived) is an Iowa State alum. They visited practice in the Hoiberg era and like anyone who meets TJ struck up a friendship and has been back to a TJ practice regularly since.

Quick analysis, I think this is first time ISU has started 6-2 in Big 12 since 2014-15. (correct me if I'm wrong)

I think that's correct.

And you have to go back to 2001 to find the last time we started 7-2, which we have a good opportunity to do next Monday.

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.

Nowell missed nine more shots and had three more TOs than Holmes to get similar stats in rest of his line. Hope grill is 100% in rematch and Tamin avoids early fouls. Put the clamps down on him.

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!

We’ve been rebounding really well lately imo. It’s not always pretty but we get the job done.

Any chance of someone posting a full replay? Youtube other link would be great. I don’t have access to possible tv replays later. I’d like to watch this great win tonight. Thanks.

Absolutely bananas that these two teams were picked 8 and 10 in the preseason poll.
Yep, so cool.....similar to the TCU football season...
Unpopular opinion: While I hope we are still up at the top or very near, I predict KState will win the big12 or at least a share. Call me crazy, but very impressed with the talent with Johnson and Nowell. The Massoud kid with the '3' ball. Him and Nowell went 8-10 from 3. Lots of quickness and bulk. We did a heck of a job on Johnson and he still managed 15 and 10. They look like they've been lifting weights nonstop. Geez.
