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

I see Woodbury has been working with Freeman on the opening jump. First, grab the other jumper so he can't get up, then go for the ball.
That might drop a bit with #292 omaha and #353 morgan state ahead

They’re asking way too much of Freeman. Gonna catch up to them down the road.
Yeah, but we still have the 29th ranked schedule now and our only loss is on a last second put back on a neutral court against one of the other best teams in the nation. It's a good start.
Problem Milan is going to keep having, is certain games there just isn't anyone for him to guard. We are going to play the 3guards a lot, and sometimes maybe 4 if you count Heise. Thought maybe tonight might be a good matchup for him but Iowa went small and we had to adjust. Has to knock down those open 3s early to stay on the floor. The way this team is structured, and how teams are going to attack us, there will be a lot of games where he just ends up as the odd man out. Will be plenty of games where he puts up 20, but right now we end up playing smaller a lot.
Among other things, in the broad-brush:
* Potentially a Quad 1 win. (possibly could teeter between 1/2)
* First true road win of the season.

Don't fucin matter. Bring it. Not a weak spot on our team if we're dialed. Fuc the refs. Its full go.
Have a decent shot at moving to #2 in the AP poll next week. Illinois has a home game with Tennessee Saturday.
Well, pretty clear Fran is the one teaching them to do that. Cheating mother****er!
Its part of why NCSOS is such a poor metric.
Everyone has a mix of quality games and terrible buy games, but our buy games are atrocious so that metric gets dragged down.
Teams that play a slate of 200-ish buy games are no more likely to lose than a team scheduling 300s, but the team playing 200s gets a bump in SOS.
Resume metrics that correct this effect are metrics like SOR and WAB, where we are 16 and 8, respectively
The new posts are just so efficient. 2 guys shooting near 50% from 3 and Tamin and Keshon being clutch AF. Sky is the limit this year.#3 offense still feels mind blowing after the last few years
All the analytics still love Houston even after 3 losses. Makes some sense given who they've played, but still somewhat surprised by that
