*** Official #24 IOWA STATE vs #19 TCU Game(Day) Thread ***

[Clonefan94]

On the road, against a ranked team, a win is a win every time in that situation. Add no Lipsey to that and this was a huge win.

 

[CYDJ]

******* garbage. **** those refs. We won and I’m still ******* pissed about it.

Well, the refs were not very good to us and we still won. That is not easy to do. Especially on the road. TCU is not a terrible team, but boy their ballhandling was atrocious today.

 

[Clone95]

Watson was huge that sequence he blocked the 3 then got a huge rebound

 

[Cyched]

I honestly DGAF about TCU climbing back.
Without Tamin, coming from a loss at BYU, and a healthy/good TCU team, that's a great effing win.

Yep. It goes down as a win (Q1 too)

Gilbert and C Jones stepped up big time today. Watson's defense made the difference in the last few minutes.

A win is a win but can this team ever be normal?

Absolutely! Great quad 1 win!

Whoever the bum was who said worst TJ loss ever 5 minutes ago deserves permabanned

Emotions got the best of them for sure.

You'd think us cardiac Cyclone fans would know to just weather the storms by now.

What happened? I left for brunch when we were up by 19 then sit at my table and check the score and it’s a 4 point game. Did TCU heat up or did we just stink it up with shooting?

Lots of guys in foul trouble really made them hit the brakes on how hard we were pressing.

 

[cyclonez7]

Need to learn how to milk the clock better and close out games, but at least it didn't cost us this time.

 

[alarson]

When we got the rebound up 4 with 40 seconds or so left he was so far out there one of our guys almost ran into him. That's what lead to my all caps post. He takes it WAY over the line.

At some point they just need to run into him. Force the call.

 

[helechopper]

I never saw this win coming. I hoped, but never saw it coming. Our guys stepped up and that’s such a good sign for this team and the future of the greatest basketball school in America, the ISU Cyclones.

 

[Rabbuk]

Iowa lost too.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Nothing on the road in big 12 is going to be easy. I was impressed that until final four minutes we were able to keep lead around 9-12 points on a regular basis in 2nd half.

Goalte

The free throw discrepancy makes you want to vomit. I understand home court advantage but so far this season it seems like the fouls are not being called both ways

You have to be TRYING in order to have that many more fouls. It’s ridiculous.

 

[bosco]

I was raking my lawn. What did I miss?

 

[Cardinal2001]

Watson was huge that sequence he blocked the 3 then got a huge rebound

huge minutes out of demarion!

 

[CloniesForLife]

Great win!

 

[cyclo120]

Never easy, but wow that was a good win.

 

[twincyties]

Some good defense around the rim without fouling by Watson on that last possession (before 3 at the buzzer).

That’s an 8 point win if we can hit free throws. Insane we weren’t in the double bonus how physical that game was.

Thank god CJ made his.

A road W, WOOT WOOT!!!!
