*** Official IOWA STATE vs #3 Iowa Game(Day) Thread ***

[clonedude]

I don’t want to watch, but it’s like a train wreck, you can’t look away.

Plus you always have that slight hope they could pull it off, even if it’s a .000001% chance.

We should be going in to this like it's a 'Superbowl'. A win in IC would be probably the biggest, no make that THE biggest, upset in ISU history.
Beat Iowa and leave your autographed shoes at half-court.

Isu +14 doesn't seem like near enough points. Considering how bad iowa beat unc.

It's not. Have you ever experienced an ISU-Iowa game where it seems we have no chance? I can't recall.....

Well, let's just hope Mad Fran isn't like Fry and shows no mercy. It could get ugly.

Thanks Rulzzz! You're the best!!!

Waiting for the look a like thread! The wookie is spot on Jorbo. The hair, the teeth, and the midget look.

gulp..

If Fran pour's it on, just send in a guy at the end of the bench to pick a fight with Garza or Conner. Do we have another Jacobsen type that would be more than willing?

 

[Cyched]

I watch every game, and will be watching this one. It's more likely with tonight's game that I end up getting drunk and punching myself in the ****. Go Cyclones!

It's happened the last 2 times in I.C. and last year.

I'll tune in a bit tonight to see if ISU has gotten the 'pass and cut' concept down at all.

If this ISU team doesn't come out and fight like hell, I would be very disappointed. Iowa literally came on your home court last year, smacked you around, and then disrespected you.

 

[RustShack]

Iowa is going to plan on dominating us. I can’t wait until they come in here cold, our D steps up, our 3’s start falling, and Conditt rubs Garza’s face in the dirt.

In those games I thought we had a 'puncher's chance'.
And to your point on 'pass & cut' - that would be an improvement! I get frustrated at our offensive strategy of 3-guys spaced on the perimeter, standing around, one guy setting a high-ball screen for the designated guy to go 1-on-2, only to end up chucking a (3).
I think we may have > 25 Trey attempts tonight.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

We will probably keep it close for a half.

90-75 Iowa

No doubt seems like easy money. Over/under seems low also given that Garza will probably be halfway to the over by himself.

 

[Hoggins]

Hard pass.

Yeah it will be ugly tonight but December basketball is iirc Iowa's mainstay when the game is pretty pointless grand scheme wise. Just annoying and growing up in eastern Iowa has that 'rivalry' deal engrained in me. Oddly more annoying than football since it was more back and forth when I was growing up.

I'd guess ISU gets beat by 30. Sounds like Iowa's pretty good.

Oh you're def correct about eat IA annoying! I grew up in Iowa City; graduated West High All my siblings have Iowa degrees and I have relatives with names on building wings. It's gotten better with our wins, but it won't be fun tonight.
