Iowa St. vs. Texas

[Prezidint]

I just watched the game. Based on that one sampling, Iowa State is not very impressive. As a team, they are not very tall, and rather slow footed. Their defense against Texas was uncommitted and sloppy, and they seemed to lack spirit/hustle on the court.

I can see AO having a huge game, with Drummond, and I can see IS getting in quick foul trouble.

IS guards, in particular, seem rather slow. Bazz and Boat should go off.

This is a game tailor built for Roscoe - he'll do well against IS's slower, shorter players.

Throw in their coach is 19 years old and in his 2nd season, and this should be a 10 point win.

The question then is are we willing to run? For reasons beyond anything I can think of this team doesn't care to play a transition offense which costs us plenty of points.

Yes, but are you going to watch their games against Kansas or Missouri?

Are they more impressive than Providence?

Yes, but are you going to watch their games against Kansas or Missouri?

Agreed. One game is not a large enough sample size to assess a team. The OP noted this as well. I think the assessment that they shoot the three well is about the fairest assessment for their team. Our guys need to be prepared for this.
