*** Official #22 TCU vs #19 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Well given Jaz's night great call not starting Grill. Grill needs to.let game come to him and calm down a bit.

Grill is forcing shots big time now. He’s not even close. Even clanked a free throw. Not sure if it’s his back or what, but rest him up if it is because he isn’t helping a whole lot with his play now.

I bitched about the officiating the last couple games, so I'll point out that it was pretty well done tonight, knowing the folks inclined to white knight for the stripes won't need to come in here and stink up the joint. <jimlad>

I thought the refs were good. They favored ISU a little (home crowd), but TCU can't complain IMO.

 

[dahliaclone]

Probably mentioned since the buzzer but I'm not going back 17 pages.

We are in the tournament now. Our resume of wins over quality teams will keep us on the right side of things even if we lose out (which we won't).

 

[BCClone]

Probably just needs to get laid.

Isn’t that always the case?

 

[Final42b]

No. I saw he lost his cool at the end. He didn't have a good game then either. Wonder what's going on with him.

Yeah he’s got some mental stuff going on right now. Need to get him right for this team to reach its top potential.

Helluva game from Jaz and Tre King. Our offense with a lead is gross but Grill is due for an out of left field 23 points on the road Saturday.

Hollywood is one of the better officials out there. You know in the first 5 minutes how he will call it all game. My complaint with some recent officiating is they change how they call it between halves which is maddening

I'm with you on KSU and UT. IDK about BU though. They're quite a different team than when we last played them in Ames.

I'd say Cyclones have a puncher's chance against BU. BU's guards have really come alive the last 10 games or so, but ISU's perimeter defense can at least make BU's back court work for their points and Baylor is not good inside this year.

I think so. One more and there’s zero doubt.

TCU such a hot/cold team. Make your shots, they can't run and you can really put it to them. Miss your shots, they get out and run and get buckets, and they can really put it to you.

They could lose 1st round of the tournament to a hot shooting double-digit seed, or beat a 1 seed in the 2nd round, just depends how the game flows.

I get the feeling Miles will come back when the games matter more.

Miles makes a huge difference. He's there closer.

Let's be honest though. If we shoot FTs like they did and vice versa, they might have won this game (without Miles). If Kunc was hurt and we don't make our FTs we are in serious trouble.

It's so nice to finally capitalize at the line. If we shoot like this against OSU we probably win the game. We consistently piss 7-10 points away with misses FTs and oops from missing the front end of 1 and 1s

Thanks Coach K

1. Giving this one the nod because of the Jaz mention

The last one was quite the prediction/request.

 

[dahliaclone]

I think so. One more and there’s zero doubt.

We got in at 7-11 last year and that was when the Big 12 wasn't as good as it is this year and the bubble last year was tougher than this year as well. When you're seeing a team like Wisconsin who is 80th in the NET with some bad losses still in many brackets...we're not only in, we're probably at worst a 10.

 

[t-noah]

That wasn't a flop, he was just off balance during the shot.

I like that our guys show composure though. Sure they make some bad plays, turnovers, missed shots. But this 'flop' call is an example of staying in the game. Jaz could have gotten all out of sorts, complained and gotten a technical, or just mouthed off to himself. He didn't

It is a reflection of TJ's coaching.

How are people so constantly negative during a game that we lead by double digits nearly the entire time?

What a way to live life, right? Literally nothing is positive.

Isn’t that always the case?

Maybe he trying to decide if he's going play for Bill next year. That should make some of you happy
