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

[ClonesTwenty1]

Survive and advance

 

[cyatheart]

I really like how ucf plays, they need a huge skill upgrade, but they are right there.

 

[Istater4life]

These guys don't panic they just play ball. Winning on the road is hard. Great win.

 

[madguy30]

****. Another win.

Houston really broke this team into a 3 game wnnng streak.

Why can't they close out teams like they just did?

 

[Cyforce]

In the coming weeks that will be called survive and advance.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

Gilbert's steal and run out and 1 probably was the final blow to get that W. Nice finish by him after struggling.

 

[CycloneErik]

Glad these guys keep their composure better than I do because I’ve been nervous AF

I was nervous for a bit. That doesn't happen with these dudes. Great character win, or whatever term we're using.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Double bye locked up. Assume Houston isn’t losing and rest Tamin?

 

[ClonerJams]

As bad as that 2nd half was, we outscored them by 1.

 

[rosshm16]

I don't know what to call this, other than a win.

 

[Texbudman]

This team is SO FOOKING TOUGH!

 

[Clone95]

I think this win shows that we are a top team in the country more than beating UH and KU at home. We took that game from them on their court. They were up 50-49 and we just said we’re the better team and this is our game now.

 

[OrangeCarrot]

Iowa State won and covered!

 

[Die4Cy]

I know I said on Wednesday, win any way you can, that's what the tourney is all about.

But this team needs to find itself offensively and quick.

 

[CascadeClone]

People talk abt teams w shooters being ISU kryptonite, but its big physical teams that keep us from scoring in the paint.

 

[Clonefan94]

It’s a win on the road, I’ll take it. I think the problem today was the uniform crew obviously grabbed a shirt two sizes too big for TJ. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him wear a shirt with that much slop in it.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Our offense the last 3 games is a little worrisome. The fact that we came out with 3 wins is really, really great. But I hope we figure things out a bit.

Yeah 3 wins and not going to complain about it but going to need to right the ship a bit on offense if we are going to make a deep run

 

[bradcyclone]

Is that a Quad 1 win?

 

[danvillecyclone]

Right as planned.

Great win on the road, Cyclones!

 

[alarson]

Great teams pull out wins even when things aren't going well.

But after 3 games of this in a row, i'd like to see a little less struggle.
