*** Official #8 IOWA STATE vs #5 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

I mean, he got worked by Cryer. Absolutely worked. But it was also kind of a career day type of thing for Cryer,a tip your hat kind of effort. I did like what Heise gave us on offense

He hit a bunch of step-back threes, not sure who was supposed to stop that.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Jefferson with another huge free throw miss

Meh. Was gonna be tough either way. The AZ one was way more egregious.

 

[jcf817]

Nope. **** Houston.

 

[BCClone]

Win by 12-15 at full strength.

 

[NorthCyd]

See you in the Big XII tournament fuck3rs.

 

[Die4Cy]

Sorry to everybody who took Houston after the news at 9.5.

 

[bosco]

Basketball is stupid I hate everyone and everything.

 

[clonedude]

Man if we were at full strength we would have smoked these guys. hope to see them again in KC.

We would have won fairly handily today too if not for Houston shooting out of their minds on nearly impossible step back 3’s.

 

[Clone9]

I don't know if we win had they got that right, but the momentum changed at that point.

One of the worst calls I've ever seen. And completely changed the momentum.

 

[CYDJ]

Court cast can not be on chest, needs to be on forehead. It is obvious that they are looking different directions 1/3 of the time OR completely looking the wrong way. It provided very little insight.

Basketball is stupid I hate everyone and everything.

You’ll be okay

 

[jdoggivjc]

Great effort today. The only thing I'm mad about is the officiating and Houston celebrating like they proved something.

I want these guys in KC so we can beat them by 30 again.

 

[HFCS]

Played briefly. Did not look good.

Neither did Cade to be fair. Going big we matched up really well except for refs.

 

[RagingCloner]

I think Houston hit every step back three

the off hand arm shove also helped tremendously

 

[PizzaTheHutt]

Proud of this team. Even though Houston won today, I think it said much more about us than it did for them. We showed a lot. I think this game made us even better.

 

[Old87]

Hell of an effort by the Cyclones. Hold your heads high.

 

[Die4Cy]

I hope we get their ass in the Elite 8.

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

We covered! This is why I don’t gamble

Seriously impressive effort

Seriously. I apologize to anyone in the thread about Cujo and Keshon being out if they took my advice about taking Houston -9.5

 

[cal-cyclone]

Wow, I am so proud of our team today. We were an exact reflection of our coach today. Just played our ass off. If we can give this kind of effort the rest of the way, sky is the limit for us in the big dance.

Houston is a paper tiger. They’ve had an extremely easy conference schedule. All the tough games at home.
