*** Official #3 IOWA STATE vs Colorado Game(Day) Thread ***

[DSM4Cy]

Inside College Basketball every night gives me old sportscenter vibes, terrific program for CBB junkies like me!

I haven’t watched until tonight…they might have gained a viewer. Just like everything CBS does, it’s high-quality.

Free-throws were big for us tonight.

 

[CloniesForLife]

How did they overturn that out of bounds? The Colorado guy had his other hand touching out of bounds didn't he?

Anyone?

i am old enough to remember the phillips 66 big 8 days. boulder is a place of nightmares. this was a ridiculous road win to get out of the way. plenty of big 12 teams will lose in boulder.

they get all the big dogs at home. several of those teams will lose their games in Boulder.

That's a very getable schedule as we sit here on 12/30. CU takes care of the ball and they make the tournament, Boyle is a good coach and I agree the Boulder is a house of horrors

 

[rochclone]

Probably, but seem like a 10-10 type conference team.

I think they are probably 9-11 to 10-10 but they will beat a Kansas or Houston at home. They got a couple kids that can absolutely get a bucket.

 

[awd4cy]

Exactly. And anyone who’s old enough to remember the last go around with CU in the Big 12 should be happy with any win in Boulder, regardless of how it looks.

Could say the same for any road win. Our history is mostly built off winning at home. TJ is the first coach that has really done well fielding teams that win on the road too.

 

[fsanford]

SIAP but think Chatfield had 7 boards and all on the offensive end.

You are 100% correct

 

[rochclone]

I love, love, love the new affiliation with CBSSN.
This is really big for ISU and the Big XII IMO.
Great WIN tonight Cyclones!

The production by CBS is top notch.

 

[NENick]

Jones and Chatfield stepped up and pulled us over the finish line, but Tamin and Keshon also had critical plays. That’s how you become the best - pull out wins even when a bunch of your guys aren’t playing their best.

And Jefferson

Any win is a good win on the road. As for the altitude......that's a lame a** excuse. These aren't middle age beer drinkers.

It’s not a fitness thing, it’s an adaptation thing. Adapting to altitude takes many days.

 

[jcf817]

Anyone?

I don’t think the Buff player ever touched it.

ya. very fortunate to get those teams as home games. i did a double take when i was posting it. they will have some signature wins and will just need to do typical tourney team stuff.

 

[NorthCyd]

That’s the kind of game good teams win. The arena was rocking when CU made their big run early in the 2nd.

Nothing but guts down the stretch. Us Cyclones in attendance were having a blast at the end

John and Eric were saying it was one of the better atmospheres they've seen in Boulder against ISU which kind of surprised me. I thought it might have sucked a little with no students and CU not expected to be all that good.

 

[1SEIACLONE]

I'm ok with CBS becoming the Big 12 television partner long term!

Hope not, went to watch it, and we do not get CBS sports on our streaming package and I did not want to spend $15 bucks for the upgrade. Hopefully they will not have many more broadcasts in the future.

 

[KCyclone2010]

In the dark ages of Prohm, I used to say all the time I wish we could be the bully team that killed you with offensive rebounds like Baylor used to do to us. We are finally that team

 

[SaraV]

Between the bowl game Saturday, the Vikings yesterday, and tonight's game, my husband's blood pressure meds have been working overtime.

And now, I somehow need to sleep.

 

[exCYtable]

This team just doesn't have many weaknesses. It's special for sure. Gotta keep everyone healthy and don't catch a hot shooting team in March. Sky is limit.

 

[ClubCy]

This is phenomenal post game coverage. I mean…this has been fantastic.

 

[CloniesForLife]

I don’t think the Buff player ever touched it.

Interesting I need to find a replay of that

They seem to have definitely had more basketball success in the PAC 12 than they did in the old Big 12 days.
