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.

But, but, but - Jones played

I'm impressed Tech has kept it around 20. I figured they would have folded by now

They're selling out just trying to find any way to score. ISU needs to be careful and stay patient on offense.

Pts so far:
Caleb Grill 21
TT's 5 starters: 24

Grill’s best game.

It's a timing thing but I like him around the rim.

I really think he's gonna blossom as a player. Not uncommon for a freshman to take some time for the game to slow down, but man I think he's gonna be a very good player in his time here.

Very upset Grill is not shooting enough 2 pointers tonight.

 

[CloneLawman]

That's one hell of a barbecue.

This second half has gotten a little ugly on defense. Feel like Tech is just flailing around and really crashing the boards and drawing a lot of fouls.

I’m sorry but that Burger King commercial makes me never want to eat there again

 

[ISUKyro]

Never would have thought at the start of his career that Grill would be the key to this team.

What a leader that kid has turned into!

Lipsey called for the foul when he didn’t even touch him. Guy just went for the rebound with one hand for some reason

 

[ZRF]

Not a bad pass but thought Tamin should have shot that.

This half is going to take 2 hours if they are going to call it this tight. No consistency between halves.

 

[mjhavlo76]

I’m anxious for Watson’s future. I like him.

 

[twincyties]

This is easily one of the best shooting performances I’ve seen from an Iowa State player and I’ve been watching a long ******* time

 

[CycloneDaddy]

24% of Techs points have come on free throws …

It's that or fling up random 3s and just hope to get it to like 10 by the 8 minute mark.

Last year I would have called for Gabe to stop shooting the trey. It's not his night. No more. He knows what he is doing this year.

Great confidence in him. He can shoot thru this. I'll bet he plays the midrange game from here though.

I’m anxious for Watson’s future. I like him.

I like anyone whose high school is named after Totino’s pizzas

 

[CycloneVet]

I kind of like how much Tech fans cheer when their guys hit a three regardless of being down 20 or whatever. It's like they're watching with the scoreboards off.

Or it’s fake noise

But, but, but - Jones played

Everyone else played well enough to where not even Jones could detail the performance.
