Hopefully we go up by 35 and rest Grill.

Great half. Dont forget the Okie State game.

Tech isn't anywhere close as good of a defensive team as OSU.

I don't photoshop, but....

 

[imnclone]

Nice to have an easy road win. Tech is awful. .

 

[ZRF]

Why because he missed? ********

No, because he settled for an unnecessarily tough shot, early in the shot clock reset, which led to a potential transition opportunity. No reason to settle for that.

Great finish to the half. Nice two for one.

Rob needed a bucket there. When he is decisive and goes quick he does so much better than when he hesitates and overthinks.

Also, did it seem like King was going to pull the ******* basket over on that our back? LOL

 

[Gunnerclone]

Perfect ending to the half right there. Great take by Tamin.

Couldn't have gone much better than that. Grill looks good, relatively low foul count (for us), a more inspired defensive effort, and a big halftime lead on the road. Couldn't have scripted it better.

Just shut up FWF. Make sure to wear your ISU hoodie tomorrow after the win!

Love Lipsey’s runner to the rack. He just needs to develop a consistent 3pt shot

At least a threat of one

 

[mjhavlo76]

Lipsey is such a good rebounding guard. He’s like a magnet. LOL. Tre King is a great rebounder too. Really love his game! Grill is back at it again. Love the first half.

Too soon

 

[CycloneErik]

Lipsey is just silky smooth with those moves in the paint. That was a thing of beauty.

And is there anything more secure than a Tre King rebound? I think not.

The way he tears down a rebound intimidates me from my couch.

Yes.. visions of Shaquille Oneal on that dunk.

Let's get to like 5 minutes left and a comfy lead first.

I would may

Do you rest Grill second half???

Maybe taper his minutes. He was out there a lot in first half. I’m sure TJ and staff will back him off if we keep a huge league. But expect to see him out there early so they don’t go on a run and make this interesting

If he's not 100% I wouldn't play him unless the lead gets down to 12 or so.

So... Yes.

He will be first team all big 12 if he does

OSU will be a really tough out in Hilton too. Their perimeter D is terrible for ISU.

Trainer was on him like flies on **** when the half ended.

 

[cyatheart]

Really making them pay for that double.

That last 5-6 minutes was basketball porn on both sides of the ball for us.

Tech sucks but yeah, that’s as good as I have seen an iowa state team play in awhile on both ends.
