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

[Cupped]

Tamin can break Monte’s steal record today.

Not too optimistic about our chances of a short-handed road win today but I will predict Tamin Lipsey will make history today...

Damarion Watson will have Jay Dukie Bilas saying— “Well, I never expected this” when Watson goes off for 21 in the biggest upset of the day.

 

[fsanford]

This ten/am game is looking really overtimey

Was thinking the same thing. At minimum the last 7 minutes will take a half hour

 

[AllInForISU]

Kansas is not playing well but they are not a “horrible team”. Especially at home

Horrible may be a little bit of an overstatement.

They certainly aren’t good, barely average on most nights. They have talent, but that doesn’t mean they are a good team. Don’t be distracted by the name on their jersey.

The only team with a pulse they beat at home was a Milan-less Iowa State team. Not exactly a gauntlet.

Is he expected to play? They don’t really need another forward wouldn’t think.

5 more timeouts to be called as well

Depth and the pieces fitting are their issues.

They played very well vs. ISU down there and ISU was still pretty foggy from their own issues.

Should be over at 1:30

Lipsey will pass Monte for 9th on the Big 12 career steals list. He should easily finish 3rd on the list with one more year and has a decent shot at 2nd, with an outside chance at 1st.

I would assume he'll play the 3 behind Milan, we won't have the option of the small ball lineup with Heise at the 3/4 so we'll be big with Milan and Dwat at the 3, going to be some really bad offensive lineups

 

[LLCoolCY]

Hiese gets the start for Gilbert. We’ll see shortly who the 6th man is?

Edit; Cash your ticket if you had Kelderman as the 1st up.

 

[exCYtable]

A game before ours that will go at least 15 minutes over? No way.

 

[CYedUp]

Will we ever get to watch the start of a game....

 

[fsanford]

Low expectations makes for a relaxing watch

I do think there is something to circling the wagons when there is a lot of adversity.

KG was turning it over a lot lately, I think ISU with this lineup will be conservative and with less risky plays maybe and I emphasize MAYBE fewer turnovers.

 

[Malone]

If we’d used some minutes to develop confidence for Njous perhaps we wouldn’t be QUITE so boned by lack of guards today

 

[ClonerJams]

What time is tipoff?

Agreed. Good talent. Bad team.

Got love ESPN. Tries to kill our conferences and then we can’t even watch tip off of our games, because they keep have these moronic 2-hr scheduling windown.

I’m assuming 1:10 since it hast started streaming in the espn APP yet.
