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

[CYDJ]

Hmmmm. We're getting pretty good looks for Milan, he's just not hitting them.

 

[madguy30]

Is this a preview of next year?

No because ISU will have other new players and likely has plans in action for the portal.

 

[CloniesForLife]

3 points combined from Lipsey, Jefferson and Milan. That ain't going to cut it

 

[rosshm16]

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

Always the case, Houston is the new Huggy Ball, they get a different whistle especially at home.

 

[fsanford]

is LJ Cryer Steph Curry?

And they are freaking step backs, maddening

 

[cal-cyclone]

Is this a preview of next year?

No

 

[Malone]

We’ve had some good looks, specifically Mommy. They really have us sped up which isn’t surprising

 

[HouClone]

Milan goes cold a lot, even with open looks.

 

[HFCS]

Perfect possession on the missed MM 3. Seriously. That’s infinitely better offense than letting Houston mug us on the ball.

Do that every time.

 

[StLouisClone]

Cryer 4-4 from 3. Momcilovich 0-4 from 3. That's the whole story.

 

[xboxfever]

Momcilovic is not an alpha type player. When needed, he’s nowhere to be found.

 

[CycloneVet]

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

No according to some he likely doesn’t want to play today

 

[rosshm16]

Teams must shoot at least 50% against us on contested step-back threes.

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

Well they’re shooting 62% from the floor and 67% from 3. Normally I’d say those numbers have to come down at some point but I don’t think that’s going to be true in this case

 

[bosco]

Slobbering of Houston's knob while they're beating the **** out of a team that isn't close to full strength is nauseating.

 

[AllInForISU]

Always the case, Houston is the new Huggy Ball, they get a different whistle especially at home.

Other teams say the exact same thing about Iowa State.

 

[SportsMan9000]

Make cryer drive the basketball, his step back is bread and butter always has been

 

[HoustonClone]

Difference of the game so far...Milan has made none of his three pointers....Cryer has hit all of them.

 

[ScottyP]

The guys we needed to step up have turtled.

 

[cyclones12321]

So they can’t miss, we are missing our two top scorers and Milan and Jefferson can’t hit anything. That’s a recipe for a blowout. Aaaaaaand that’s what’s happening
