***** Offical Iowa State vs Texas A&M Game Day Thread ****

[Rural]

Resident coaches on here question Fred's coaching.
He subbed in Royce for Melvin in the first half.
Masterful move.

 

[ISUKyro]

Not sure what that is, but c'mon this is a family site.

I'm blaming that masterpiece of typing on the beer!

Royce White's passing ability in this game is the best I've seen from an ISU player since Tinsley....

 

[LegendofRodA]

Why can't we watch the Big 12 halftime show on Full Court? I really could care less about this lame ESPN3 halftime show they put together.

By the way, Royce has it going on!

For sure! Even the announcers are giving him non-stop love. I think one said he hasn't seeb better in the big 12 by anyone not named Thomas Robinson.

 

[HFCS]

Big12!Big12!Big12!

HAHAHA

 

[CLONECRAZY]

Giving credit to the Willoughby meeting, we are flat ballin' today. Love how engaged they all seem to be, hustling to TO's, high 5's, talking on D, passing, cutting, finding the open man, etc. Keep our foot on the gas in 2nd half n we should cruise to a W.

Nice to see how positive CF can be when we're winning.

Royce just needs 8 pts and 4 ast to get a triple double. I want him to get one so bad.

 

[moforisu]

Keep the turnovers down in the 2nd half and make FT and we win. Get Royce the ball down low. I want a slam!

 

[LostinIowaCity]

Royce might need to get a restraining order against these announcers after the game. They're making me blush...

 

[ISUKyro]

Nice to see how positive CF can be when we're winning.

Strange how that works, isn't it?

 

[CloneIce]

What a half! So awesome seeing us play like that on the road.

 

[Cyclones01]

Drake was the 3rd game of the season, this is the 16th. A lot changes in 13 games.

I know, it's crazy. It's almost like all the people on here saying the team would change and grow as the season went on were right all along.

Who knew?

 

[cygrads]

Tammy not very good - 2nd half will show us if this team has really turned the corner.

Just wait until we lose a game.

 

[cyclones500]

Much better this game of boxing out. Also helps when the guards are helping rebound. Tyrus with a board was huge.

I really like the lineup of Scott, Tyrus, Babb, Book, White.

That looked pretty good.

Solid contributions from Gibson and Allen -- Ejim looked impressive on D.

Hope we can see a repeat of a lot of that coming out of halftime.

 

[Go2Guy]

Allen is 2-11 from 3pt. And we're only shoting 30% from trey.

They have no back court pressure on our guards

Only if it's St. Arnold's!

 

[MissouriCyclone]

That cowboy had an awesome stache....

Ridiculous. Next you're going to be telling me that there was good ISU team that lost to Drake but still made into the NCAA tournament.

 

[ISUKyro]

Only if it's St. Arnold's!

Got St Arnold:
Amber
Winter Stout
