Really missing Milan today. But where the heck has Gilbert been lately?
They’re hedging screens and putting a loose double team on him in pnr.

Would like to see some 2 man game with him
And Jefferson. Tr to make them pay. Put Curt in the corner. Pnr pass to Jefferson he either takes or dishes to curt

We are seeing what a difference Milan makes for our offense. 24 points, wow!

Sincerely don’t think I am being hyperbolic. I think that’s the most non-calls I’ve EVER seen in a half of Iowa State basketball (both ways). Ever. WVA is objectively/factually fouling constantly. I cannot stress that enough. And we’re getting away with fouls too, but we’re NOT playing quite as physical/fouly as they are.

Were DeVries' Drake teams super physical and trying to junk it up? Or is it like Otz's first year where it's their only hope to win.

Hopefully Nojus will make the leap next season because he can shoot the ball

Lipsey and Gilbert are good and absolutely cspable from three. Just haven't found it yet.

I don't know why the focus is on Heise.

West Virginia is getting away with murder on defense. This is the most physical game we’ve played this year and there’s only 9 total fouls thus far

Even as they are guarding our guards outside, hands everywhere. Constantly have a hand on our guy's body, and NOTHING. Lipsey has to swat their guy away like a fly at a picnic.

Nobody else for ISU has hit threes though.
It’s probably time to have the conversation that we just aren’t a good 3 point shooting team outside of Curt and Milan every couple of games. Milan is good for a 3-6 game and then will go 1-6.

Where is the Tamin from last year?

On the road, down 1 despite hitting absolutely nothing from 3.

Ugly, but not exactly the worst place to be. Things revert to the mean and we win comfortably.

We are up 10+ with a “normal” shooting half.

Silver lining is I don’t think we’ll shoot that poorly in the second half.

Well can’t play much worse than that.
Heat up from 3 in the second and run away with it.
PS: the WVU PA announcer has been and will always be the most annoying in sports history.
