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

[madguy30]

Turnovers and Milan can't hit a shot. I get we are very out-manned, but that doesn't give the starters who are playing the right to play like garbage

That little unforced TO from Lipsey there was about on par for this group no matter who's out there.

 

[HFCS]

Jefferson and Lipsey are up to their Houston opposition in terms of disruptive chaos on D. Until whistles start rest of the team needs to create more intentional contact gambling on turnovers.

 

[harimad]

We aren't great so far but it feels like the threshold for contact on fouls is different for each team.

Is this a preview of next year?

Here we go. Let’s see if Nojus is the savior

We have nothing to lose at this point

 

[CloneLawman]

I'm at my kids basketball game, so can't watch, but where is Nojus?

Playing.

 

[CyGuy5]

looking like an Iowa lineup with how many white guys are out there

 

[Die4Cy]

Here we go. Let’s see if Nojus is the savior

As far as Houston is concerned so far, he's not worth covering.

 

[cyclones12321]

Is this a preview of next year?

Is CJ going to be able to be back for another year?

 

[HFCS]

At least we know a whistle can happen on obvious shooting foul, just force some shots. They won’t call any fouls running offense.

 

[ScottyP]

We scored!!

 

[quasistellar]

Honestly not sure why you would expect otherwise. We're missing 30+ points\game of production, even before talking about how much that makes it easier to cover our other remaining options.

No spread below 19.5 would have been high enough to bet ISU. The only reason it didn't scream higher was people who didn't know Jones and Gilbert out hammering the ISU line when they saw how big the line was.

 

[CyGuy5]

Ooooof Nojus

 

[Die4Cy]

I thought Nojus was a Wisconsin kid, not CHicago.

 

[fsanford]

Is this a preview of next year?

If all other teams bring back everybody. It's possible

 

[Old87]

The goal for this game is to get out of Houston without any more injuries. Lipsey doesn’t need extra minutes. Think of the big picture, we need to have players at their best for the tournament.

 

[CyGuy5]

Momcilovic please make a shot

 

[ClubCy]

Needed Milan today…..

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

is LJ Cryer Steph Curry?

 

[Cyched]

Not that Milan wants to be missing everything, but he needs to be more effective.
