*** Official Texas Tech vs #10 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

With the CyTown construction, what’s the latest on general parking for the game?

My keys for the game:

1) Pound the paint.
2) run them off the three point line.
3) pound the paint

And ball pressure like a grown man in 28x28 skinny jeans

Man our (Big 12) schedule is tough this year.

There was a report last night that Tech's center (I forget his name, their only big guy really) may not play.

Has there been a report out yet on whether the Tech center is playing?

This has trap game written all over it.

I hope I am wrong

To me a trap game is playing a .500 team between 2 good teams. Not a team that could be a 4 seed in tourney.

Game time decision...

Momciliovic had a quiet game at Cincy.

Looking for him to hit some big shots today…and hopefully the rest of the team.

We were only 27% from three at Cincy, and they were open looks for the most part.

I know that’s been happening, but I’m hoping for 6-14 or 7-16. Minimum.

74-63 Cyclones

Have a good feeling about this one. 78-69

Park by the food science buildings and walk. It’s a nice day!

These posts scare me. I’ve been at this too long….

Honestly with how often some backup seems to go off when a player is out, i think i'd rather have him there playing at 75%

Same... I hope I am wrong but I feel a letdown coming.

Something like 65-60 Tech. Again, reverse jinx... crossing my fingers.

I don’t know that we lose or not but I expect the second half to be nutcuttingly excruciating.

For what it's worth no.one on Techs 247 insider board knows if he's going to play. Supposedly Sametime decision. Most seem to think he will.

I'm running sort of tangential to your post here, but I was thinking this morning how disappointed I was that KU wasn't one of our "protected rivals" or whatever in the new Big 12 scheduling. We are their biggest challenger until Houston proves they can keep this up in the Big 12. Maybe I'm just being a big homer here but I don't think it's too much of an exaggeration to say ISU has been KU's most consistently competitive rival in this conference and certainly in recent years. I would bet if you asked their fans, players, and coaches who are your two biggest rivals in this conference, most of them would say KSU and ISU.

Not playing @KU sucks. With the way tourney selection and seeding is done these days, that game only helps you. If you win it's your biggest win of the year, and if lose it doesn't matter, everyone loses there and if it's a close loss your metrics probably go up.

But someone has to be a "protected rival" for f***ing BYU to get the schedules to work out and of course it's ISU. I was hoping the Big 12 would say f***'em and make them and UCF play twice a year.

It was bad this year, but it will really suck when we go there and don’t get a return trip. No KU in Hilton is a real buzz kill.

Don't see Omaha in early warm-ups.

Absolute shame ESPN put this game on +.

And why 11 AM if it’s on ESPN+? So we can watch the Sisters at Texas 3PM.

 

[packattack425]

Their center is still in a boot per Walters on the pregame

 

[ISUTex]

Gameday puts out their top 16. ISU a 3 seed. They talk about every team except .....guess who? LOL.....

I'll take Milan to have a bounce back game today. Go State!
