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

[Thomasrickj]

Refs really trying to take the ball away from us in any way possible today.
That Heise foul (where he gets elbowed din the face) which ended up a s a 3 for Cryer was my losing it point with saying these refs aren't putting their finger on the game at least a littel bit.

That completely allowed Houston back in the game. Such a ridiculously awful call.

Just get the boys healthy. I don’t care about anything but the Big 12 tournament and March Madness after this.

Not really frustrating at all. We played with Houston without our top two scorers. Beyond happy here

Frustrating that even down the two leading scorers, they had a very real chance of winning. But Houston shot out of their minds and we're gifted a few possessions.

I like the effort and I LOVE Jefferson. But what do we have to do to get him to take over a game? His passiveness on offense drives me nuts. He has the potential to dominate scoring and we need him to in games like this.

 

[CloniesForLife]

I really hate how we stopped going through Milan and tried to pound it inside against the strength of that defense

 

[Cyhig]

Expected result. Good effort. Is what it is.

Great effort. ISU played amazing today

 

[Clonehomer]

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

It was only 8.5 when the rumor thread was going on.

 

[Final42b]

Honestly not that impressed with them. Took miracle 3 after 3 to beat us without our best two players. You can’t rely on those type of shots in March.

 

[Clone95]

Would like to know if Cryer would have gone off like he did had that offensive foul not got overturned. He was shut down in the 2nd until that call. Might have been enough to frustrate him.

 

[clone37]

Houston is good, but I sincerely hope we play them in KC and they get the #1 seed in our region in the tourney. Their toughness and effort gets neutralized when they play a team that has as much toughness and effort.

 

[HouClone]

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

Should have been easy money. Clones with good fight.

 

[Pharmacy99]

Get the h*** out here and watch your be loved Hawkeyes against UW

 

[Lineup]

played with guts

 

[Stumbles]

Damn, TJ has his guys ready to play. Effort was ******* beautiful. Yeah, moral victories blah blah blah. But fighting like they did and despite some bad calls down the stretch, still were within striking distance.


Also, I love Kelderman.

 

[exCYtable]

Didn't expect to be pizzed off today but here we are. Guys played so well. I flipping hate Houston.

 

[fsanford]

I really hate how we stopped going through Milan and tried to pound it inside against the strength of that defense

They worked very hard at taking him away towards the end. Face guarding etc

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

I hope these last few games mean Heise is ready to be more aggressive. He was the one I was most impressed with today

 

[Drew0311]

I dont understand this comment. Why cant it ever be we are just that good?

Because the 5th ranked team should have beat us by 20 at home with our two highest scorers out. Jackson sitting most of the game in foul trouble and us using a freshman walk on for minutes

 

[enisthemenace]

If it was a tournament game, I would think about that “cylinder” call until the end of time.

That and the shiv that sent Lipsey tumbling.
