*** Official Oregon State vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[fsanford]

I think its possible we're not a great offensive team but I love how hard we play on defense. I love having Grill and Tre off the bench, they both just play so hard, there is no letdown defensively.

Well if the other team cannot score either, that certainly help hides that wart.

We're about to beat a solid team; been a LONG time since that's happened. Not exactly a Picasso on the offensive end, but it appears we're going to be a scrappy team this year.

Last good non-con win was 12/8/2019 against Seton Hall

 

[stateofmind]

Out rebounded them!

 

[BoxsterCy]

Yes all 4 of those teams are down. Iowa or Xavier will be the toughest of the group.

Iowa is pre-season 9th place pick in Big 10, not going to be like last year for them.

 

[cyfan92]

So, all of these noncon games are in play now. I don't think we go undefeated, but there aren't any we can't get.

Xavier, Memphis and Va Tech are brutally tough.

Gladly eat crow for my prediction. Love team ball baby.

Was thinking bubble team before Foster and Hinson left. Then thought 15 wins max. Now......unless there are some ill timed injuries.....they might make at a run for the bubble. They aren't the worse team in the Big 12. If they are......the Big 12 needs to petition for being in the NBA.

It's two games guys. Encouraging though. And fun!

Nice! First win over a Power 5 school since February 25, 2020 against TCU, 25 straight losses until tonight.

Let that be a lesson to Oregon state! Nobody beats isu 26 straight times! Nobody!

Is it just the ESPN+ broadcast/audio, or is the crowd a bit disappointing? Seems muted, at best.

ISU fans have to learn how to cheer again after the Prohm years.

 

[Iastfan112]

Still probably going to be a long season, just don't have the offensive firepower, but I do think this team steals a few wins from tournament bound teams with the defense.

 

[scyclonekid]

Watched last 7 minutes and night n day difference compared to last regime. Just keep improving.

 

[jcisuclones]

Sorry this is happening to you @Cat Stephens

 

[RedDog]

I am very impressed!
Who in the world hired Prohm over TJ!!!
Where would we be?????

A former ISU President.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Brokington with 10 points and 12 rebounds

7 assists for Hunter

 

[OKClones]

I think the stops at SDSU and UNLV were incredibly valuable to TJ.

Good point! Starting over is hard for even us Iowa State fans.

Hilton hasn't been the same since the magic wand Big Monday game, and the light changes. TJ knows the way, its not magic wands and dim lights that get you wins.

I think they're the Cyclones 1969 or something now.

What was the magic wand game?

 

[jctisu]

Yeah that was fun and if they bring that effort every night I don’t care what the record is really.

Some of you in here need to reel it back in though a bit. Great start to the year, especially after what we witnessed last season. But pump the brakes big time on bubble team talk. Just going to bring disappointment to yourself if you are already dreaming of that.

Let’s see where our boys sit after the non-conference. Just enjoy what we have thus far.

 

[cydsho]

I haven't been this happy with only scoring 60 points for a win since the Tim Floyd era.
