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

[HFCS]

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.

I knew it was you all along Fran, you broke my heart.

All the analytics still love Houston even after 3 losses. Makes some sense given who they've played, but still somewhat surprised by that

I could be wrong but maybe still a bit of last year in there.

I’m sorry but is that a butterfly tattoo on his shin?

that's what the person behind me said. i can't personally confirm, but that's by far the most students i've ever seen at a Hawk game so it made sense. they haven't even had 8k at any of their games yet this season until tonight.

EDIT: to clarify, i heard they were giving away tickets to students to fill the student section(s), not to sit just anywhere. as a corollary, it's very common for 1-2 games over break to be free for UI faculty and staff though -- that's the only other time I ever bring the family to Carver. i don't know if ISU ever does that sort of thing.

My friend currently in med school at Iowa told me they were doing this

JJ was a huge get for this team: He defends the post, eats defensive rebounds, can score in the post, hit FTs, drop dimes to teammates.

We were 8-10 on FTs in last 2:00. JJ was 5-6, KG was 1-2, CuJO was 2-2

Bart Torvik still has Houston at 3 if you force it to look at only games played this season (behind Tennessee and Auburn).

Don't fucin matter. Bring it. Not a weak spot on our team if we're dialed. Fuc the refs. Its full go.

Bobby, my nana reads these pages and that language is not acceptable.

Be careful

Best is always a tough word to use but from a consistency and trust standpoint I don’t think it’s that close.

Let's get Tamin some rest before the B12 starts.

Surprised he played against Jackson st

Finals are next week.

After the game was tied at 74, Jefferson had two assists and 5-6 from the line. Very good down the stretch with the game on the line.

TJ was in Jefferson’s face coming out of the Time Outs late.

In a good way.

He slapped him in the chest basically telling him He's the guy.

My apologies. Too many nattys!

I think we did see TJs conference rotation tonight. Nojus probably doesn't quite make the cut, but I'm excited for that guys future and he can probably still earn some minutes later if he keeps working hard.

How lucky are we at guard. We have 3 of the best guards in the country and then we have a mid major all conference player coming in as our #4. That's ridiculous.

Nojus is going to be a really good player. Reminds me of a young Matty Ice Thomas. Maybe even more aggressive getting to the Hoop than Matt was in his early years here.

It’s funny after our game FS1 had a video game contest. What was on FS2? Maybe the tic tac toe championship?

I spent too much time looking at this - but I've determined that the start to the season, with 9 straight 80+ pt games is:

- the first time ISU has ever started the season with 9 straight games > 80
- the second time ISU has ever had 9 straight games with > 80 pts (the other being '87-'88 with Grayer and Lafester)
- If we score > 80 against Omaha it will be the first time in school history we have 10 straight games with 80+

It's weird to think of it after the last couple years - but this may very well be the best offensive basketball team in Iowa State history. KenPom has us as the #3 offense - I don't think any of the Hoiberg years reached that high.

We've seen it in a couple tight games now - down the stretch it's : Tamin - Keshon - Curtis - Heise - Jefferson

Unless the other team has two bigs, it's Jefferson who gets crunch time minutes at the '5'. And TJ would rather have Heise's defense over Milan's offense at this point.

Yeah that was bizarre as ****. Playing video games cool. Watching people play not so much.

On the last foul on CuJo, Fran’s angry gesticulation is timed so perfectly with the fam yelling “BOO!” that it almost seems like Fran is booing
