*** Official #2 Houston vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[ISU_Guy]

Agree. Houston looks way stronger and more athletic. ISU has done a nice job competing.

2 months ago, this was a game I thought Pav wouldn't play at all and Watson and Omaha would have to play. We are getting killed on key rebounds.

None of our 3s are even close to going in

We are going to have to take it to the rack. Get the shot or foul, and make the FT's.

Hit one more 3, at least would be nice. It could happen, but we are not shooting well.

A game of D.

 

[Drew0311]

We really need a guy like Curtis jones to knock down those open threes

 

[jctisu]

We’re open because we can’t shoot, it’s pretty simple

Ummmm we haven’t really been open. We’ve maybe had three that were legitimately open looks.

 

[AlCyJim]

BRE liability gifting the Cougs again....

again he is the only one not making plays. get off of it

 

[ZRF]

We have been bad on the glass.

Brutal. Tre and Milan don't know how to block put. Like at all.

 

[Jriddge28]

It’s been physical all game. It’s been about as well officiated as you could hope.

Agree. They've missed a few blatant fouls but they aren't going to blow the whistle every possession. We put refs in a similar possession the last 2 years. Just have to play physical.

 

[Die4Cy]

Physical play has led ISU to be timid in the second half, not even trying to get in the paint.

 

[alarson]

Agree. They've missed a few blatant fouls but they aren't going to blow the whistle every possession. We put refs in a similar possession the last 2 years. Just have to play physical.

Except we often saw them call them on us

 

[jctisu]

Time to nut up. This is where Big 12 games are won or lost. Who is tougher?

 

[ZRF]

Not sure why Ward isn't in the game. He shouldn't be out until he fouls out.

Nice play by King.

 

[CYDJ]

Well, we really are not giving them anything easy though. They are earning every bit of it.

 

[t-noah]

A bucket!

 

[JP4CY]

I'll take that offensive foul, LOL

 

[helechopper]

Tre King redeeming himself.

 

[globogym6]

staggering to me how we don’t have anyone that can make a simple jump shot. Most look like they wouldn’t even take an open jumper.

 

[jctisu]

Ok we got a foul back there because that was a flop I think. Sold it well.

 

[jdoggivjc]

nice flop

 

[ZRF]

Stop trapping with the bigs. Wide open shot almost every time.

Fortunate call on the flop there.

 

[exCYtable]

Tamin has to stop picking up his dribble
