*** Official #4 Auburn vs #5 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Hot sauce?

Absolutely.

Both teams are both really good. Both teams go on runs bout the same. They have great moments followed by very average play for stretches. I think the winner goes on the right spurt at the right time. It's also a game where I could see a team get out to a 15 point lead and not be safe. Hope the good guys can pull this one out.

I certainly hope we can get a 15 point lead. The way we defend, an ISU 15 point lead is like a 25 point lead for most other teams.

Oh wow. A Penny Hardaway team melting down. Who would’ve known?

3 pointer with 1 second left? come on!

Anyone know what day the team flies back? Would they fly on Thanksgiving Day?

Interesting question. I believe in the past, they have stayed and had a team meal with families etc to celebrate the holiday but, given TJ insane adherence to routines and wanting the guys to stay with the plan and process, They may come home as soon as they can.

Surely TJ will deviate, with a special occasion like this. Plus they are already there!

I would think this trip is ALL basketball until it's over. You'd also think that when it's over, they stay an extra day or two? I mean Hawaii, duh. Thanksgiving be darned.

Indeed, and interesting question.

Memphis leading UConn early second half and he who shall not be named having solid game.

Earning his paycheck, I see.

High level basketball already this early in the season.

Watching Hurley's sideline antics makes me extra appreciative of what we have in Otz.

 

[Cardinal2001]

Looks like we better be able to score.

that technical foul made me chuckle. what a dipsh*t, been getting away with ostracizing the refs for the last 2 years

I think Auburn wins this, but hopefully we learn what we need to do to realize our potential.

 

[Cardinal2001]

nice game memphis

I’ve become more of a wrestling guy so not as in tune with Otzelball. What should my expectations be for watching this one?

 

[brokenloginagain]

Hunter played like he was a cyclone...and then he went soft the last 8 minutes of the game and didn't want the ball.

That kid is so talented...yet plays so soft. When he's aggressive he's kind of unstoppable.

Not sure of expectations but the 'what to look for' imo is how guys like Jackson and Jefferson do against a quality team.

Also it will be interesting to see what kinds of line ups ISU rolls out there.

Paul Rhoads! Campbell too lol.

 

[Cyclonepride]

UConn in the loser's bracket makes both sides of the bracket really tough. Should have at least 2 really good games no matter what.

On the Memphis - UCONN post game analysis they called our matchup the game of the week.
