Texas at Iowa State predictions.

Texas 86
Iowa state 78

Texas isn't the best shooting team, but they're athleticism and size bother us. We matchup up very poorly with them and they'll give is fits for sure. Hoping Hilton gives us the edge we need. Physical/long/athletic teams are nightmares for our guys.

If I typed the same thing I would have 50 people call me an idiot...
 
In other words they are 0-3 so far...

Michigan didn't have two bigs?

Also I find it funny you count Holmes as a "big" and he's shot 57 3's this year but Austin and Jefferson from Baylor hang around the perimeter and have shot 57 3's combined.
 
I'll bet you a one week self imposed cyclonefanatic ban that we win tomorrow if you are so confident.

No, thanks. ISU winning the game wouldn't surprise me at all. They are an excellent team with a coach who seems to make great adjustments. And Texas has young guards that might wet their pants after witnessing Hilton Magic, who knows? I just to with my guy and my gut tells me that Texas might be more than ISU can handle.

Is Niang a "big"? How many threes has he shot? It's not the number; it's the work and Holmes plays like a big. Austin and Jefferson don't.

So you're giving it an 8 point spread in favor of the road team but you wouldn't be surprised if the home team won?

What are you talking about? Holmes and Jefferson have almost identical stats but Jefferson rebounds better plus Austin averages 3 blocks per game

Niang has the best post moves in the Big 12. His 3 point shooting is down yet his scoring has increased, especially in Big 12 play. Have you even watched ISU play? He scores a ton in the paint even when the other team knows it's coming.

If twocoach's name was "twohawkeye" this and so many other threads would be moved to the rivalry forum. I think it's time to start treating it as such. He's nothing but a troll and a contrarian, the act is getting old.

Ever hear the phrase, "It's okay if I kick my dog, its not okay if you do it."

Probably applies here.

If ISU does not go into a 10 minute brain dead mode in the 2nd half like they have been doing lately they win by double digits.

When you have an 18 point lead its okay to not take the first good look you have if its early in the shot clock. Cuz if you got that one, chances are you will get another later in the clock.

If you don't think ISU will win tomorrow that's fine and that's your opinion. Saying ISU hasn't beaten a team with two "bigs" is wrong and makes you look like an idiot.
 
ISU 82 Texas 78

Thomas hits a baseline jumper to give ISU the lead with less than 15 seconds to go, and Ejim grabs a defensive rebound and ices the game with two free throws.
 
All right, you've convinced me. Since I need Iowa State to win the game anyways...

Kansas would appreciate it if ISU would win and wear Texas out as much as possible. What I am hoping for is a 3OT bloodbath where both teams knock the tar out of each other and Iowa State ultimately wins.
 
I wish you guys would just NOT respond to this two coach squawk. He doesn't even make sense which he probably doesn't even realize. You all keep feeding the troll.

Nah, it's just funny watching people ghet flustered and lose their minds. Go Cyclones!
