*** Official IOWA STATE Vs #13 West Virginia Game(Day) Thread ***

[jcisuclones]

Hoping to go 2-0 for the season on games I’m in attendance for!

 

[Clonefan32]

we can win one of these, right? RIGHT?

No time like the present to start building our CBI resume.

Yeah, that is kinda what I thought. I had only tuned into a couple of games and didn't really see their pressure. Those teams a couple years back were made up perfectly to run a mean press. Jevon Carter was a monster.

Although, Iowa State has had solid guard play most years and I thought they handled the press pretty well. I'm definitely not upset that we won't see the constant pressure.

Those guards with Carter, Miles, Phillip and Page were just nasty for a couple of years. I remember watching them have a couple nice runs in KC with those guys, every game was a fist fight. That is the group I think of when I hear Press Virginia.

Is it too late to insert Kyle Kempt into the starting lineup?

In seeing previous ISU games my thought is the only way ISU wins is if: they shoot out of their minds, somehow don't get killed on the boards (Tshiebwe and Culver are beasts inside), and the refs call the game really tight. WVU isn't the greatest shooting team so ISU should have an advantage at the foul line.

We're playing at West Virginia. You know that won't happen. What will happen is that they will foul us at least 30 times in the first half and the refs will call about 10 of them. Huggins will scream bloody murder on every one of them so the refs will call 15 phantom calls on us to keep thing "even".

It is always baffling to me that the fouls are so even in the box score after games with these guys. Same can be said for Baylor, TTU, K-State etc. Teams like to ugly the game up, and we're always such a finesse team. But of course we're fouling just as much as they are...

It always catches up to WV in the tournament thought. Once they get a group of officials that isn't used to their style of play it all falls part.

You're a champ, @CycloneRulzzz . Through thick and thin, always there with the gameday threads.

It's only fair, with a team as physical as we are.

It's like owning a parrot. Who's going to take care of that thing when you die?

 

[67CY]

I hope I’m wrong, but not sure we score over 50

 

[jcisuclones]

This place isn’t very full 15 minutes until tipoff..

 

[CycloneErik]

Still in it!

 

[flycy]

At least our game isn't following a West Virginia game.

At least our game isn't following a West Virginia game.

But it might still feel like the game is taking forever to end.

 

[madguy30]

That's funny that ESPN guys are talking so much in depth about ISU/WV.

 

[ISUCY23]

Man, this show leading into the game is just ripping into the clones lol. Damn.

 

[jcisuclones]

For a top 15 team, WVU fans sure have not shown up.. at least yet.

We should be able to take a break from the big 12 this year and just play MEAC teams. Of course we lost to one of them too
