*** Official #10 IOWA STATE vs Cincinnati Game(Day) Thread ***

Been sick to my stomach today. Don't think I can watch the game at Baylor for too long.

Be easy on Settles. He predicted a final 4 for us.

Cinci: 25 turnovers and just 19 made field goals.

Whaaat?

Makes that 247 post linked early about them talking about only 8 turnovers against Houston a bit more comical to me now.

 

[NorthCyd]

They were mixing in A LOT of new pieces in that tourney. This team is night and day different from that one.

Not to mention Ward was out. Not the same team at all.

Great job road dawgs.

Big win. If this game is in Hilton, we win by 25. Do we run 5-2 to end the regular season? 6-1 ? Hope Lipsey is ok.
Go Cyclones.

What did I miss for Lipsey?

 

[Cyched]

Didn't hear much from ZRF or Darius tonight. Can someone do a welfare check

 

[cal-cyclone]

what a great win tonight. I just keep underestimating this team. I thought we might get caught looking ahead to TxTech and Houston next week, but TJ has our guys locked in. We are defending at an elite level and it just seems to wreck other teams patience and rhythm. Lotta heart and balls on the guys on our team. BIG game on Saturday, hope the crowd is crazy and helps us get to 9-3.

Also I like the Cincy add. Think they will be a good program and they have a good bball following and that arena seems like it would be a tough place to play

Lipsey seemed just fine tonight

Well let's just meander over and take a look at the standings for the best basketball conference in America. Well lookie there, some B A Utiful Cardinal & Gold at the top. Whodathunk.

I had a feeling about this season before it started. Then Texas A&M killed my confidence. Glad they've responded so well to those two losses.

The last three seasons have been lessons in not letting November/December define the season or team one way or another.

I really think TJ used that ESPN tourney to see what he had and maybe to help figure out how to augment different players' strengths.

 

[Cupped]

Amazing stat: 9th time this year our opponents have had more TOs than made FGs! Offense sells tickets (see CC) but defense wins championships!

I actually like Jess. He's always been very complimentary of ISU when he's been on the radio. I think he's actually a pretty good analyst. Admittedly I didn't listen to him in this game so I don't know how he was tonight.

Did he get injured tonight? I missed that if so. Thought he looked great tonight.

Jess is a good guy, met him several times.

Anyway, great win. Get tech and then throw the dice in Houston

 

[t-noah]

Four guys in double figures. Me like!

 

[isucyfan]

This team's hotter than a suburban cougar watching the Usher Super Bowl halftime show.

Have to admit he did a nice job tonight. Very complimentary of Iowa State. Liked his comments about TJ and his staff.

We are so good, rough stretch on the road ain't **** we'll prevail eventually. We are in a KU position, tough to win on the road but sometimes you just so ******* good it happens about half the time.

When you know you know, wasn't worried at any point in the 2nd half
