Hoping to go 2-0 for the season on games I’m in attendance for!
we can win one of these, right? RIGHT?
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.
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...We're playing at West Virginia. You know that won't happen.

It's like owning a parrot. Who's going to take care of that thing when you die?You're a champ, @CycloneRulzzz . Through thick and thin, always there with the gameday threads.
At least our game isn't following a West Virginia game.
