*** Official #8 IOWA STATE vs #5 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

[Thomasrickj]

Momcilovic needs to start hitting those shots.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Hiese should of taken the drive.

 

[cal-cyclone]

Houston has Milan rushing

 

[heitclone]

Milan ice cold but we're hanging around, neither he or Jefferson have been a factor yet.

 

[madguy30]

I would guess this will look a lot like TJs first year today

Silver lining is maybe they find some things and add that sort of approach if only in spurts.

ISU has been less 'cagey' this year and maybe that's what they need.

 

[ISUTex]

Milan is ice cold.

 

[JP4CY]

Hiese should of taken the drive.

He HAS TO take that.

 

[fsanford]

If Cryer hits fade away 3's it's a long day

 

[Die4Cy]

Need Milan to get it going

He's going to see double teams like that all day.

 

[CycloneVet]

Honestly we need to be running stuff for Nate. He is hitting shots

 

[fsanford]

Defensively things are good, some tough shots by Houston

 

[ClubCy]

Every game it feels like we have 2-3 possessions of perfect defense and the other team will hit a deep step back 3 with 2 seconds left on the clock.

 

[ScottyP]

Long day of Houston shooting like this

 

[simply1]

He HAS TO take that.

That was Ben Simmons bad

 

[madguy30]

If Cryer hits fade away 3's it's a long day

Houston iirc can be a bit clunky on offense at times and that's going to have to happen today along with ISU to get hot for this to be a chance.

So far ISU hasn't had many timely looks.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Only have 3 turnovers but Houston has turned each one into a 3.

 

[CYedUp]

Eeek may need to guard the 3

 

[cal-cyclone]

Cryer just got away with a big push off for that 3
uggg

 

[Die4Cy]

Zero effective perimeter defense without Jones and Gilbert.

 

[Erik4Cy]

LJ Cryer & Milan Momcilovic are the difference in this game right now.

One isn't missing anything, other isn't making anything.

Gonna be similar to CuJo without Milan in the lineup to stretch the defensive and keep 'em honest. We really need both our shooters in together.
