Just called Kane biggest surprise in the country and Greenberg was very complimentary of how we have so many guys who can hurt you multiple ways
***OFFICIAL #9 ISU DEFEATS #7 BAYLOR POSTGAME THREAD***
- Thread starter ItsCyence
- Start date
"DeAndre Kane is the first player since 1996-97 with at least 30 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals against a Top-10 team"
Saw this on ESPN site. Impressive!
Really exceeding my expectations, especially considering we lost BuBu, Mel's Knee and had to replace 6-guys from last year. Also, this is a Bay team that beat Kentucky a month ago and has a win over Colorado.
Not sure how we're gonna respond at OU; that will be a tough test, then turn around and play KU two days later
They have a bunch of good interior defenders on that team. They are a good shot blocking team. I think if Niang had his three pointer going, he would have been more effective.
When asked about Drew mentioning Iowa State as a national title contender, Hoiberg asked him to repeat the question. Then when asked again, Hoiberg laughed and asked him to repeat the question again!

Whoa, whoa. Time will tell, but that team won the Big XII regular season and tournament. They also were one step away from winning the NC.
This team is good, but they've got much more to do to reach the level of 2000 - 2001. Tonight was a great start!
Watching the game again. Just about to halftime. ASide from Kane playing incredible, a couple of notes...
Morris is really shooting with a lot of confidence
Thomas looked good too
Percy passed the ball.

99-00 team won the tourney. 00-01 team was one and done at conference tourney then Hampton happened.
Percy didn't get in for too long, but was solid while in there. I think there was a reason he was in today. Hope he keeps up the good work.
Correction--it was '99-00 team that was legit. '00-01 peaked in February and tanked at the end.
But yeah...I was just thinking about how good the '99-00 team was, and while this team has been surprisingly god, I just can't get to that place to put them next to a serious elite team that played in an era where every decent player didn't bolt for the NBA after one season.
00-01 was a great team, they just imploded at the end of the season. LE lost them. Paul Shirley has written some interesting stories about that season.
Thomas looks a lot more comfortable and ready to start becoming a serious threat. Not sure where he was in the 2nd half.
They were playing zone with their big guys inside. Not advantageous for Niang. But there were some good holes for Kane to get his shot.
Later in the game they switched to more man and they were able to Iso Georges more and let him take it down the court some.
I thought Thomas played well, but in the 2nd half he gave up a Heslip 3 and he didn't play again.
You expected Drew to manage his timeouts properly and make good coaching decisions?
Shirley surely has some interesting tweets about ISU basketball these days. Sounds like he's back on board, though. :skeptical:
Iowa State wins! It's fun when the Good guys overlap with the good Guys. Paul Shirley (@paulthenshirley)
It is refreshing to be able to cheer for my alma mater again. Paul Shirley (@paulthenshirley)
