*** Official IOWA STATE vs #1 North Carolina Game(Day) Thread ***

[cayin]

I'm still trying to process what happened the last 4 minutes. Cyclones down 7 points before ripping off a 17-5 run. Somehow, Cyclones' defense force UNC into 4 TOs, 3 fouls, 1-4 on FG attempts. Grill's heroics were amazing, but the extra burst of defensive intensity, after a long and taxing game, really seemed to win the day.

we out toughed them. that's it.

F Huckleberry Hound - almost one of the best things about this win. Glad we could beat UNC with him watching.

While the game was great.............this^^^^^^^, just like 2014 NCAA game made it so much better.

He was grinning ear to ear when UNC was on a first half run. At the end of the game looked like someone shot his pet dog.

Robert Jones improvement from last year is amazing

TJ is starting out just like last season. We had better be rated the next time they come out.

And hopefully folks stay with the team when there's some turbulance.

It's still November and there will be bumps.

Great resume builder if they're bubbleish in March though.

Hunter and Brockington are overall better players than Holmes, but Holmes is a better fit for what this team lacked offensively last season. His ability to get in the paint and score or create for others has changed what this team can do when they are struggling to create offense.

Let's admit one thing. They are not the best team in the country. They have a bunch of players, but they aren't a team yet.

You're right but like last yr most teams don't want to play them.

Him not going away had to be so annoying for Baykot.

So between bb and fb this makes 4 straight days of game threads. I think that may tie or break the record for consecutive threads lol

Thanks for all the work Rulzzz!

Not saying they’ll end the season there but win on Sunday and ISU is absolutely in the AP top 10 on Monday

Hope UNC fans look at Grill’s 3-pt stats before this game so they can feel like ISU fans do after we get torched by a 17% 3-pt shooter.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Kalscheur, Jaz and Osun combined for 5 points and we beat #1 UNC.

 

[clonebb]

Who is like 6'5'' I believe. Jeesh this team would have been legit with those two.

Who are you referring to?

The Cyclone Fanatic servers are struggling again with traffic but it’s a for a good reason finally!!!

 

[cayin]

and we don't even have Tre King yet. I think we are going to be pretty darn good guys.

Let's admit one thing. They are not the best team in the country. They have a bunch of players, but they aren't a team yet.

Well...yes. But maybe wait and post that a bit later. Tonight, we celebrate!

 

[NWICY]

Love the intensity... showing last year's intensity wasn't a fluke!

They bring that intensity every game, that is the part that amazes me.

Season wise it would be great for ISU to stay anywhere between #20-40. I'd think that's tourney worthy.

That was a very enjoyable last 2 1/2 minutes! Great win Cyclones!!!
