***Official Texas vs. Iowa State Game Thread***

- Start date
It's probably too much to expect a rejuvenated effort at the drop of a hat — but it's a fresh start opportunity, at home. It would be encouraging to open 1-0 in conference.
That hasn't happened since 06-07, I think.
interesting matchups in this game...Texas has 2 capable point guards against our 0...they will press us at times (see McD 2nd half with Brackins) because they know our PG play is bad.
Myck Kabongo
J'Covan Brown
Shelden McClellan
Jonathan Holmes
Alexis Wangmene
they have lots of freshmen...with this being there first road B12 game they'll be nervous.
I think Bubu will get major minutes tomorrow...with there guard situation being stacked we'll need a guard lineup
If I was coach, I would start this
Allen
SC
Babb
Ejim
White
Bubu the first off the bench, McGee, Booker(I think he could do good regarding the matchup), and Gibson
This lineup matches up size wise and athletic wise with them...I'd have SC guard Kabongo because he will be the primary point with Brown as the slasher...have Babb guard Brown and Allen guard McClellan or Julien Lewis who will be off the bench at guard...if Clint Chapman comes in then have Booker come in as that is a good matchup for Booker, just tell him to box out Chapman and we'll be good.
Also, throw it into WHITE!! He will be on Wangmene and should have a good matchup with him..Wangmene doesn't score to much so he can be the middle of the zone...I do think we should play zone as they aren't a good shooting team...they feed off of Brown's dribble drive...need to know where he is at all times.
In summary, Texas is really down this year and I think we win given that the crowd comes out and White isn't sick and ready to go..we will need him in this one.

Good analysis CyCash. It'd be nice to be up by 10 with a couple minutes to play, cuz I feel like it'll finish out about a 2-4 pt game in the end. ISU 70- TU 67

Tonight's ISU-UT game is on ESPNU: Mediacom (178), DirectTV (208), Dish Network (141). It's also on ESPN3.
It will be asked.

I expect a loss by quite a bit.....a nice topper to the last week with the bowl loss and WBB losing Schroll.
I will say a prayer.

Yup. Just when we start feeling a little bit good about ourselves for any sport we are immediately brought back down to earth, usually dramatically and for quite a while. We are..... ISU.

I also don't know what to expect from this team.
Hoping for the best, really hoping that we don't bring the disinterested attitude to the game.

I don't think a lack of interest or focus will be a problem tonight. I don't worry about the games against the big time programs; the effort will be there for those. I worry about the very winnable games against the likes of TT and Okie State.
If the shots are falling tonight and Babb finds his stroke, I can see ISU winning a close one.
