GAMETHREAD: IOWA STATE AT TEXAS TECH
Iowa St. Cyclones at Texas Tech Red Raiders, Jan 21, 2012 4:00 PM CST
Much like the Oklahoma State game, today's tilt against Texas Tech is a bit of a trap game. The Red Raiders rank at the bottom of the conference, despite the arrival of Billy Clyde Gillispie. Simply put, a good team wins this game, while a team that's going to the NIT might drop this one.
It's important for Iowa State in the Big 12 and NCAA tournament race to get this one. It is what it is - a winnable game that good teams win.

Good thing we get to finish watching this damn Creighton game.

That place is PACKED!
You live and learn. At any rate, you live.
Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.
That hone court advantage is fierce.

Oh yeah... Instant classic...
Glad I got to see a blown layup and the entire arena – announcers included – forget that it was a 1 and 1 foul shot to end the game.

Someone just out there trolling ISU fans...
It was worse earlier in the year when we were running Christopherson at the point and clearly needed a true PG.

If he played
It must have been while they were switched over to the other game and Fred was hoping nobody would notice.

ejim should go for 20 each game given the looks White gives him
but he only makes 30% on bunnies

Nice pass

Tech really didn't play any better from the get-go, we played down to 'em for about the first 10-12 mins

did that graphic just show Christopherson as a transfer from Marquette?

I don't think we get to count him as a "Fred Transfer"

he only wants 'em immediately post-game, pre-shower.

Royce completely quiet still end 7 pts, 9 rbs & 7 asts
he get close to a triple double pretty much every time he doesnt get in foul trouble

He disappears into Narnia for spurts of each game.
