*** Official Colorado vs #7 IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

[cyclonedave25]

As of now we're the highest scoring team in the country.

We are also the only undefeated team in the nation!!

Mckay dunk counter is I believe at 3. He made 4 shots but I think one was regular put back shot near the basket. Felt like he had more than 3.

Would've liked to see Cooke get more minutes. Had a sweet assist, but didn't really get an opportunity out there.

He plays good defense as well.

So our game was really the first mbb game to be played this year? Very cool.

I'm sure Matt Thomas will be CF whipping boy, but saving that bad break pass and getting it to Nader was critical

Matt did everything well except shoot threes. I feel good when he's on the court.

My night will be ruined if I don't see Arob and Schfinkter

Sorry, gotta drive back now

No, it was the first nationally televised

This is a new experience. We beat a decent P5 team on a dumpy neutral court by 6 in the first game of the season and people are ready to burn the program down because we didn't blow that team out.

Chill out, haters.

NOOOOOOOOOO

Yep, and he had 5 rebounds and blew right by a defender for a layup twice. Get a consistent 3 and he is gonna have a great season.

Which is, you know, why ISU is 1-0 on the season.

Exhibition games don't count. Just like NFL preseason games.

Neutral? Yes. Dumpy? No.

It was pretty loud, and a great atmosphere

Actually, every team but Colorado is undefeated.

 

[acgclone]

Some of you need to calm down. We didn't look good and still won. That's the name of the game in the early part of the season when you're away from home

 

[ISU42]

Nader had a good game when he started taking it inside. Zero reason for him to shoot outside 6 feet. That was a fun atmosphere to be at.

Ugly, but it is a win. Main concerns for offense are only 10 3 point shots, and only made two, and only 12 assists on 29 baskets. Those are not exactly ISU numbers, but that can only get better. May have just been Colorado size, first game jitters, slightly new offense, the gym.....who knows?

Defensive improvement may help a lot more this year than we realize right now.

Have to improve quickly. Illinois/UAB/Cincinnati not that far away.

Congrats on first ISU win though CSP!

Actually not too concerned about the 3pt shooting. Boyle was intent on not giving us a 3pt shot. And rarely double teamed in the post. This allowed a lot of drives to the hoop which we took advantage of.

It's a little encouraging that we were in control of that game while only making 3 three pointers.

We lose meltdown, we win meltdown. SMH.


I suggest some people truly enjoy this season instead being a bunch of Debbie Downers.

I expected a bigger win, but I don't get being disappointed by a win over a tough team.
Maybe if we didn't know that our guys make a good team, but we already know pretty well how good we'll turn out to be.

Sort of ugly, but a nice win.

Agree. Nader looked real good.
