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

[cincinnaticyclone]

We dropped to 5th in Ken Pom and will soon be passed by tennesse as well as they play a lot better schedule. Just really hard to move up given the way the schedule is. Number 1 seed is going to be pretty tough I think.

I’m assuming for my own sanity that the one seed and a reg season championship are out of the question

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Nobody can figure out how that game was called. What is a foul one second isn’t a foul the next play.

Tjs method of slow playing the refs worked on regulation. But Arizona took the gloves back off in OT and the refs turned a blind eye

 

[CychiatricWard]

I would disagree with this, just because the chance of a foul there wouldn’t be worth it. In that scenario you definitely cannot foul.

The only way something like that would work IMO is if JJ makes that first FT. Then you obviously try to make the second but put guys on the line just in case he misses to muck it up a little.

Also, never call a TO there. Make the opponents scramble. Texas Tech coach made that mistake against ISU.

If we think of it that way we should’ve lost that game and won. Should’ve won this one and lost. Net zero.

My wife says that as well

And she is!

Don't give up hope.

Honestly it’s just better to let that hope go. Still gotta enjoy the ride. I think we were dealt a tough hand drawing @AZ, @KU, and @Houston. Plus the WVU was an obvious buzz saw

Caleb Love is the Temu Russell Westbrook

Not sure if that's more of an insult to Westbrook, Love, or Temu

I've got a game.. If you find more videos of missed free throw tip ins to win or tie as I can find long distance three's... I'll venmo we will $1000

You'll find more because no coach fouls in that situation.

I forgot I needed to wear my nutcup as an Iowa State fan. Haven't needed one in a few years and damn, I didn't bring it and my balls gonna hurt for a few days now, if I can walk with them.

You lucky bastard. I’m still waiting for my wife to give me mine back

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?

Houston won’t run the table. Problem is most of ISU’s margin for error is gone.

 

[NorthCyd]

To me @ISU and @UH are the best wins available in the conference, and then @UA, @TT, and @KU are the next level. I guess if you want to be real optimistic we have the opportunity at the best win @UH. Lol!

Well the couch coaches would...That is why they are couch coaches

 

[HouClone]

Nobody said this.

Wrong. But doesn't matter.

Blows my mind that people actually think this Houston team will lose more Big 12 games than last year

 

[Cyinthenorth]

It's my fault guys. Pin this one on me.

It's January 27th and my Christmas tree is still up.

Yes. Our schedule was not the greatest, comparatively. We have a lot of ball to play. We are looked upon nationally as one of the better teams.

Let's play ball. It's going to be fun.

You think a Shead-less UH team is better?

Gotta leave it up now. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner

That's no excuse. I told my wife to take ours down next Feb.

You thinking make it a Valentine's tree? Or just leave it up till next Christmas?

They still aren’t great offensively. No Shead on this year’s team.
