Hard to win on the road! And scheduling is a big explanation behind Iowa's record so far (sans the Michigan game).
Will be interesting to see if Nebraska can come out similarly against Purdue tonight. Good night of hoops on tap.
Iowa State should have put Houston away back midway thru the first half. Can't let a team hang around when they commit 10 turnovers in 20 possessions.
Not sure who we have playing in this game that many minutes. Freeman would be ok but out muscled and Perkins physically is there but handles ???
It just looks worse for Iowa Mens Basketball all the time
Very physical game..nice win for State
It's just simple quickness to stay in front of the person you're guarding without fouling.
Iowa is way too timid in this regard, and thus contributes to their already terrible defensive philosophy.
I honestly do wonder if Fran takes preaching no fouls to an extreme, which then becomes a detriment to trying to be even mildly competent on defense.
19-12 foul disparity. Hilton home cooking, I mean magic.
Hey if Iowa got that benefit, I'd gladly contribute to the referee's collective.............
Could have been greater as Houston plays as physical as any team I have seen this year.
Iowa State starters played 79.5% of the total minutes and committed 5 fouls
Congrats on ISU beating a G5 team, their football team went 0-2 against them.
The only down side about this win was that I got tickets for the game, but couldn't make the journey from CR.
ISU got off to a great start, which was key. Just a great win. Lipseys improvement has been dramatic. ISUs intensity on defense is truly fun to watch. They struggled to score a little tonight, but credit to Houston's defense. Just a great college basketball game.
The last shot by Milan was beautiful.
Great win!

Man I’d like to have Lipsey. Tough, hard nosed leader. And the Euro Frosh is a stud.
Geez, you guys wave the white flag so easily. Didn't we just beat them last year? And trounce them three years ago? And beat them at Hilton four years ago?
Trajectory.
If memory serves we beat teams at the end of a coaches tenure and the beginning.
Whose stock are you buying?
I see a team that defends and is getting some of the states best player the last three years or so. I see a team that could make a deep March run.
But yea we should be happy we don’t have likliter and we score a lot of points against teams.
I don't know what it is about that building, but teams go in and play absolutely terrified the first half. They made it close at the end, but that bad start killed them.
ISU has a great coach. Iowa has a mediocre coach. And I know mediocre
Iowa State Basketball is similar to Iowa Football. Their defense always gives them a chance to win.
Although ISUs offense is not horrible, they do struggle to score at times.
The Big 12 is loaded this year. ISU may do well to finish in the upper half, but after last night it appears they are pretty good. Hard to tell with a soft non-conference schedule. Looking ahead at the rest of their conference schedule, they need to win at home...

I don't see any bunnies on that schedule (don't know anything about UCF), but looking forward to each game.
TJ has done a good job filling in gaps via the transfer portal, but also has done well with HS kids. I think he is redshirting two freshman this year, and Omaha hasn't seen much time. It will be interesting to see if his PT increases. TJ has earned our trust. If Omaha isn't playing, he isn't ready. Hard for a 18 year old true freshman to take away time from guys like Tre King, Robert Jones, and even Hason Ward (who are all 23-24 year old men).
Anyway, it should be fun to watch!

Way too white and slowwwwwww!!!
19 year old Omaha Biliew is competing with 24 year old Tre King for minutes. A 5-year gap in college basketball is massive, Omaha just isn't better than anyone in front of him in Ames.
Fire Franny There is absolutely no reason for Iowa to be the third best program in this state. ISU, Drake.....Iowa. He is an embarrassment.
