'Horns vs Iowa State

[warrior]

Texas by 16 with 16 min to go in 2nd half, much better

 

[georgecostanza]

Hamilton seems to have his shot back.

 

[warrior]

Texas by 19 with 15 min to go, Hamilton with 18 pts, Thompson has 9 pts and 8 rebounds and Johnson with 11 pts and 6 rebounds. Jordan has 3 three pointers.

ISU's field goal percentage keeps plummeting. Is that our defense or are the Cyclones missing open looks?

 

[warrior]

Not sure I am not watching the game, just following on the internet. Let the *** kicking continue, Texas by 23 with 13 min left in 2nd half. This is huge for Texas to have a great 2nd half.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

The Turk is going bizerk

 

[GemStateJim]

Dominating the boards (34 to 20 right now in Texas' favor), shooting over 50 percent while holding the opponent to less than 40 percent ... yeah, that's Texas basketball.

 

[warrior]

29 point lead with 9 min left, dont take the foot off the pedal Horns

 

[FWHORN]

Seems like the second half the Horns have awakened and are just dominating.

 

[LonghornCatholic]

We are rolling. Too much swagger for Iowa State at this point.

 

[warrior]

71 to 45 Horns with under 6 min left

 

[Third Coast]

I see ISU is backing off Lucas daring him to shoot, like defenses do Balbay.

 

[GemStateJim]

It's a pity Lucas' confidence is in the toilet. I don't understand it.

He would be such a boon to this team if he could hit ~40 percent of his treys off the bench.

 

[warrior]

Texas did what you are suppose to do to a last place team, crushed them

 

[GemStateJim]

So that's one point scored in the last five minutes?

I know--we're winning big--but it's this sort of offensive hibernation that we're going to have to cure in order to make a deep tournament run.

 

[warrior]

My feelings are if Texas wins their last 3 conference games and wins the Big 12 they should be a # 1 seed, I feel the regular season championship should count big time, plus the win at KU, plus playing a tough schedule.

 

[Horn69]

Matt Hill made a layup with 8:31 to go. The next FG was made with 150 left by GJ. That's pretty hideous. Not to mention almost 5 minutes to end the 1st half.

Hook'em!!!

 

[GemStateJim]

Nice to "see" our 'Horns bounce back with a big win. Not a bad prediction, LonghornCatholic.

 

[TexasFan81]

This game was exactly what it should have been for Texas playing a last place team in the conference...a reaming.

We are going to win!

 

[warrior]

Texas held Iowa State to 31 percent shooting, when you play defense like Texas does you do not have to play great offense all the time. Few teams play defense like Texas does.

 

[Third Coast]

Hey, I'll gladly take every one of them by a single point, if every one of them is a win.

I wasn't really impressed with our defense overall..ISU got 2 easy baskets off the in bounds play and against a team with better talent,that could be the difference in the game.They got a lot of open looks but just missed. They also had a number of penetration shots that they missed.We hustled on d and I thought Cory and Doj played good d over the screens but ISU was able to get into the lane too often.

Overall,though a good win and now we have a really tough game saturday. I really like Hoiberg as their coach.He will get that program back and I don't look forward to playing them at Hilton next year.
