*** Official #3 IOWA STATE vs Colorado Game(Day) Thread ***

Maybe I am misremembering, but Trae Young got a ton of attention on a slightly above average Oklahoma team.

Are you comparing Flagg to Trae Young? Trae Young carried his team and had some incredible games. I haven’t seen anything special about Flagg other than being a good rebounder.

OU was top 15 through much of the conference season. They fell off mid to late February

All I'm saying is that you're off base if you think Cooper Flagg wouldn't get attention anywhere he went.

Good pull. Georges and him doing that duo post-game, I think in Norman? That was pure respect.

No, you're thinking of ... what's his name? Teammate of Tyrese in Sacramento and Indiana, now with Toronto (I think).

Oh Buddy Hield! Yeah you're right!

Crazy stats - 8 steals by Jefferson and 7 ORB for Chatfield. Those are team stats on some days.

Jefferson keeps showing more and more of his skills each game and already has a triple double. Not sure he's at 100% back yet from his injury. What I've been most surprised by Chatfield has been how quickly he moves his feet on defense when guarding on the perimeter.

Young averaged 27.4 points and 8.7 assists per game

Not sure how they did that since Trae was in high school when Georges left Ames.

Oh Buddy Hield! Yeah you're right!

It was definitely Hield. I think they both went for 30+ and were just getting buckets. Hield was nuclear that night.

 

[awd4cy]

Exactly. It was a terrible comparison.

 

[JP4CY]

Looks like we get to scout Baylor tomorrow night too.

 

[WISCY1895]

10 point win in Boulder is definitely a quality win. They don’t lose at home very often under Boyle

 

[IASTATE07]

Young averaged 27.4 points and 8.7 assists per game

Flagg leads a top 5 Duke team in PPG, assists, rebounds, and blocks? And he's doing it when he should be a senior high school? What qualifies as special to you?

 

[alarson]

I wouldn't have guessed that many times or that ISU would have the edge tbh.

I remember even Pratt and that crew got absolutely wrecked there once.

Makes sense when you think about it. We played them 2-3x a year for a long time in the big 8\big 12, going back to the 40s. That adds up over time.

Golden State (Buddy Hield’s current team)

Wonder if Trae Young’s high school team had any other decent athletes?

Nah, probably not.

 

[MartyFine]

This ISU team is so tough I can’t believe I have the privilege of watching all their games

You’re proving his point. He’s just saying he wouldn’t get near the obsessive coverage by ESPN averaging 16 ppg at many other schools. This isn’t hard.

The product is so much better than anything ESPN or Fox does. Hopefully getting these Big 12 games can be another step for them to increase the visibility of the channel.

Exactly. I wrote this earlier in the thread before the game. You could tell during the pregame that CBS just does it way better than ESPN. Even on CBSSN, just high quality and no favoritism, just straight up excellent college basketball coverage. All you need to do is look at who CBS puts in the studio vs ESPN. CBS puts in a good balance of folks who straight up know the game of basketball. ESPN just puts in blue blood graduates who create controversy and pump up the big brands.

yes it is a better product but if you have it recorded be careful because ours shut off with 2 minutes to go because the preceding game kstate went longer than it should so never got to see the final 2 minutes. will remember it next time to record the following program. now I will not know how it ends. lol

He's the top high school recruit, considered the top pick in the upcoming NBA draft, and he's a white American in a black sport. Are you new to college athletics? That's getting shoved down our throats if he's playing basketball in Maine.
