How the hell was Iowa State 7-1?
- Thread starter BlackNGoldBleeder

UNC struggles of late people have noticed losing 4 straight and dropping out of top 25. But Nova is down this year. They went 0-3 in the Oregon tourney. I wouldn’t be surprised if they miss the tourney this year. These 2 wins could be like Iowa’s vs UVA last year. Beat big name brand but team down and ends as quad 2 W.
This is the correct answer right here. If Iowa shoots like they did tonight they are tough to beat.
Pretty ducking annoying the same people who thought we’d get murdered tonight are now here to say how bad Iowa state sucks.
Game tonight was very similar to that game in 1st half especially first 8 min. Isu was up 17-2 and St. John’s couldn’t buy a shot. Never really threatened after that and cruised to a victory.
Love the toughness and confidence Tony brings to the table when he is on. It is infectious throughout the team.
Correct. These are not the UNC and Villanova teams we're used to seeing. They may be good wins by end of year, but as of right now, pretty meh.
Beating ISU will probably be a good win for us by end of year as well.
Of course it will, ISU will have a ton of good wins in Hilton.
Having Ulis, Perkins, and Conner handling their pressure, and getting into the offense efficiently made a big difference. Having Bowen as well is a huge plus for this team, even though he didn't get many minutes tonight. We have a good back court this year, and it's nice to see.
Conner looks good. Defense looks good. Feel really good about this team.
yes...if Iowa can shoot close to 50% from 3 in every game, then we would have a great season. I think they said Sandford was 1 for last 22 from 3 and PMAC 3 for last 18 from 3 going into this game. If those two end up being 40% 3pt shooters, we'll have a good team.
That is a sentence I have NEVER heard before (and probably not again for years)!!! LOL
You can’t play high major college basketball with Caleb Grill and Gabe Kalshur in your starting lineup.
That's a joke.
That's a joke.
While I would tend to agree he’s doing it. And made the sweet 16 last year with just as ugly of a team.
Pretty much. It's tails they win, heads I lose with those people. Just want to rip on Iowa and Fran for whatever reason. Season is long, nothing motivates teams like getting your weaknesses exposed directly to you when playing good opponents and losing by double digits. It happened to Iowa against TCU and Duke. It will likely happen again this season against good teams when Iowa doesn't hit shots, doesn't do well at the little things, or both.
Iowa State is not great, but might be a NCAA team. Good win by Iowa, especially without Murray. Guys stepped up. Need to bring the same intensity when Murray is in the mix as well.
Villanova is 4-5 UNC 5-4 and St John’s hasn’t really beat anyone of substance.
Give them some credit, they practiced all week to contain Murray and they did an excellent job of it.
ISU knew they had to stop Murray and spent all night looking for him.
Villanova is 4-5. Game went to overtime. Neutral court
North Carolina is 5-4. Led ISU by 5 in last couple minutes and blew it. Best win so far is James Madison.
St. Johns. Jury out. Soft schedule. Game at Hilton.
ISU. Jury out on them too. Hard to invision that team winning., on the court with Texas, Kansas, TCU., etc.
Iowa St was a mess. That offense was a travesty and Iowa had wide open looks all night

Same can be said for taking a really good Iowa BB game and taking shots at our own football team. Why?
Funny how clown fans insist that Carver is bad and then when isu shows up Carver intimidates them and they piss down their legs. You would think that if clown fans actually knew anything, isu would have won in Carver since 2006.
Chalk up yet another reason why isu fans are seen as clowns. Something to laugh at, not take seriously.
I am sure the voters felt differently than you or I do. They take history in to account more than what a team is doing this year.
Great points.
Last night, Iowa State looked like they would struggle with Colgate.
Jay Wright retired, Nova is not Nova anymore. UNC was extremely over rated.
ISU plays a defense first game, their whole plan is to swarm, disrupt and disorient. They want to knock their opponent down quickly and never allow them to get back up,.. Hawks did exactly what they needed to do by coming out aggressive, landing the first punch and not letting up,... Great win, particularly without Kris on the floor.
You’re correct. Most of them don’t brush their teeth.
A couple of things.
1. Iowa St is not trash but they play too aggressively, imo, and if there are decent referees, they will struggle to win games. They are offensively challenged.
2. Iowa came ready to play and proved good offensive teams can play defense too.
3. Rebraca has played his butt off. He is playing far above what we saw last year.
4. Tony returned to his normal self and it was great to see.
5. I get that Bowen made some mistakes last night but who didn’? Most turnover’s I’ve seen Iowa committ in years. IMO, Bowen needs to play more, not less. Live with his mistakes and ye will be rewarded.

maybe annoying..or maybe falls under who cares
We shall see how good ISU ends up at end of season. Last year they smoked Iowa...but they had Brockington and I would say that team last year was legit. This ISU team looked worse than Seton Hall team we beat and far worse than very tough TCU team that beat us like a drum or the 5-star loaded Duke team that beat us handily.
Could be off night for ISU + Iowa obviously was having insane 3pt shooting game which hadn't been the norm.
I suspect ISU is going to be very feast or famine. They have to get turnovers with their traps because if they don't they will give up good looks and the turnovers compensate for their limited offense. Iowa is generally good at avoiding turnovers and they looked really well prepared to break the traps. Still turned it over a bit. I could totally see games where they snow ball teams with turnovers and run outs. Also tighter called games will be tough for them and they will likely be very effective in more physical games.
I hope that is sarcasm. WE beat a good rivalry squad. When you denigrate your opponent, what does it say about us beating them?
