Tamin Lipsey Commits
- Thread starter Cyched
- Start date
Iowa high school BB didn't have a shot clock for I think the entirety, or at least most, of the time Tamin was in high school. Watching him pick apart a high school defense with no time limit was something else!
If my maths are correct, Tamin currently has 85 career wins. There’s a real shot he passes Niang for most wins all time by the big 12 tournament.
Winning out he would tie @ Utah and break it at home against Tech.

Is there a Covid year?????????????Tamin has played at least one full season of games injured in some way. That should qualify for a medical redahirt
Nary an NBA chance.
Thank whoever, for a forever Cyclone.
Smart enough dude, he'll succeed at any next level, NBA aside.

In this era, a four year player is a true unicorn, and should be treasured as such. He's had an immense impact on Cyclone basketball.
Not excited about this one. Not a good start to the TJ era.
Coming off a bad knee injury. Too small for the Big 12. Poor shooter. "Nepo baby" hometown kid.
Good story and all but doubt it works out.

Quoted and updated with Lipsey as the 5th player ever to win 90+ games. Tamin is also 60-5 (92%) in games played at Hilton, which I have to imagine is either a record or very close to it.

Gotta be some sort of 4 year record. As far as percentage goes, Tinsley and Horton were undefeated at Hilton in their 2 year careers at ISU.
After looking into it a little I'm pretty confident it's the record. Only one four-year stretch in Hilton had more home wins overall (62 from 2011-12 through 2014-15) but that senior class had no four-year players.
I wondered about Naz since he played ~4.25 seasons, but he only played in about half of the games his freshman season.
The record book updated after last season has the top 8 (now top 9 with Tamin entering the list).
7. Jacy Holloway, 83
T8. Hoiberg/Michalik, 78
Really fun to skim through when you have a few minutes to spare: https://cyclones.com/documents/2015/5/4/2025-26_Records.pdf
If we don't stub our toe Tamin will do 2 out of 4.
In case anyone on CF needs some motivation:
I like this but I'm not sure I would include that second one. Didn't he drive into trouble and then slip which resulted in being without a dribble and no where to go? It wasn't like he got a steal or picked up a loose ball if I am remembering this play correctly. There are a hundred other better examples.
Yeah idk, don't remember. Just a photo, wasn't reading or researching that hard into it.
