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

[awd4cy]

Houston got once in a million lucky themselves to beat KU. I think Houston goes down at least a couple times. They had the soft first part of the conf schedule. We had the opposite.

I hope we can get lucky at KU next week, or we’re going to be down 3 games in the standings to them with a road game at Houston looming. Going to be tough.

 

[Klubber]

Houston will have 1-2 tops

Houston will have games where their offense disappears. I can't believe all the people giving the title to Houston already. Honestly, I could see them losing @ WV Wed.

They still have to play TTech twice, Baylor twice, @ASU, @'Zona, Kansas and ISU. You really think they're running the table on all those games?

 

[t-noah]

That flop technical was an insane call.

Agree, for sure. Let's move on.

We lost the game. TJ doesn't tolerate excuses. AZ won. We have a chance to return the favor in Ames.

 

[NorthCyd]

This would have been their best win to date IMO.

Tech is right there with it. Our win at Tech is on par with Houstons win at Kansas.

 

[alarson]

Who cares about losses. We have way better wins. The resumes aren't even close right now. ISU is way better and Houston has some ground to make up. They have the schedule to do it. We'll see.

We do currently, but we only have 4 more Q1 opportunities on the schedule while they have 9 more, with 6 being Q1A

It is 1:36 here in Cincinnati and I am afraid I will not be able to sleep tonight

Shades of Jamie VanderBeeken

Not sure what you mean?

He mostly hit good, high-percentage shots with ample time on the clock.

 

[Dgilbertson]

didn't learn one damn thing at all.

FIFY

 

[StLouisClone]

Trying to block that and risk a foul on a shot with like a 2% make probability is the dumbest thing you could do.

It's a very low trajectory shot. Someone like Watson could block it easily. Would have liked to see him guarding Love there.

Plus the make probability is much higher than 2% (more like 5% to 8%) when you give a guy a clean look.

 

[NWICY]

Pretty hard now given we play at Houston. Houston isn’t going to lose 4.

Well that's like your opinion man

 

[FerShizzle]

Tech is right there with it. Our win at Tech is on par with Houstons win at Kansas.

This would have been better. Not by a lot, but better.

 

[t-noah]

Please don’t lose to Tang next game.

We will, and are going to, destroy KSU at Hilton.

 

[Dgilbertson]

I hope we can get lucky at KU next week, or we’re going to be down 3 games in the standings to them with a road game at Houston looming. Going to be tough.

KU doesn’t intimidate me with this crew

 

[SoleCyclone]

Make the first - 75%
Miss the second - Assume pretty good if you're trying - 90%
Get the rebound - During the game, AU had 13 offensive rebounds compared to ISU's 27 defensive rebounds - 32.5%
Make the put back - AU was 19 of 37 on 2 pt shots - 51.4%

.75x.9x.325x.514 = 11.3%

Considerably higher odds

He was 1-1 100% from 55ft. That's a better %

 

[NorthCyd]

We do currently, but we only have 4 more Q1 opportunities on the schedule while they have 9 more, with 6 being Q1A

That's why I said they still have the schedule to do it. They still have to do it. They damn near lost at UCF and needed a miracle to win at KU. Maybe they can run the table, or maybe they come back to earth. We'll see.

 

[NorthCyd]

This would have been better. Not by a lot, but better.

Based on what?

 

[AllInForISU]

It's a very low trajectory shot. Someone like Watson could block it easily. Would have liked to see him guarding Love there.

Plus the make probability is much higher than 2% (more like 5% to 8%) when you give a guy a clean look.

Lol. You guys with your percentages are something else

 

[12191987]

It is 1:36 here in Cincinnati and I am afraid I will not be able to sleep tonight

Yeah, gonna take the Cyclones speedball of heartbreaking loss, whiskey, and Benadryl tonight.

 

[fsanford]

He was 1-1 100% from 55ft. That's a better %

And if they fouled, AZ made one and got the rebound and scored people would have said why not let them shoot a 50 footer.

The Monday morning QB is always right I guess

 

[WastedTalent]

It means you don't let Caleb love dribble twice uncontested for a chance to go to OT. He's an enigma

Honestly i don't think any coaches would foul that far in the backcourt, with that little time. If there's 4 seconds and they get it to the front court, then yeah foul away.
