*** Official #24 IOWA STATE VS #10 West Virginia Game(Day) Thread ***

[ISUCY23]

Suspect officiating. That's being polite.

 

[cyclones12321]

That was deep!

 

[Cyclonepride]

Terrible minute and a half until Monte pulled that out lol.

 

[DSM4Cy]

MONTE!!! Amazing how much he's improved down the stretch. Was always pretty clutch, now total ice in the veins every night.

 

[cyclones12321]

Now if wvu could start to ******* miss

 

[jdoggivjc]

Not a bad half, considering the refs are allowing WVU to play tackle basketball out there.

 

[clonedude]

Pretty good 1st half boys! Now let's come out and win the 2nd half.

 

[CarlHungus]

Down 1 despite the fact WVU is mugging us w/ not much called, I'll take it

 

[Cyclonepride]

Great half. Really took some punches and it didn't phase them. Made several mistakes, but clean that up and I love our chances.

 

[Die4Cy]

Did Huggie's guys play this way when he was at KSU?

I don't remember them being that, um, proficient at grabbing without drawing fouls there, as they are at wvu.

There's really no way around it so I don't like ISU's chances.

There's basically a foul every single one of ISU's possessions and it's not really close.

Hate to play that card but Young has been open a few times on the roll...something needs to happen down low at some point. He also seems to get better when he gets a score or two.

 

[Cyched]

Great half all things considered. Keep staying tough on defense, and keep hitting shots.

Not at this level. At least my selective memory doesn't recall it that way.

 

[Cyclonepride]

WV didn't make it through shoot around without fouling more than five times. Ridiculous that they have five in that half.

Also, Big 12 will get six. Lunardi needs to spend more time outside. Gets tunnel vision on his own BS.

Problem with Young is, he's pretty weak with the ball. And against a team like West Virginia that won't end well. Especially since they're hacking away with no penalty.

No not anywhere like he does at wvu

 

[HFCS]

ISU really dominated play. So of course vs Huggy Foul Ball that means we're down 1 at half.

 

[HoustonClone]

I agree with the guys in the studio that WV is the team to stay away from in the Dance. But ONLY because they cheat to win.

Rugby............Jeeeeeesus!

 

[CycloneErik]

Gotta like where we're at. Scrappy half, fighting for loose balls, and no backing down. This one can happen.
