#12 Texas Travels to Iowa State: Open Gameday Thread
#12 Texas (18-4, 5-2) looks to make it three in a row and two straight on the road as they travel to Ames to tangle with Iowa State (13-10, 3-5). Game will be televised on ABC (regionally) at 2:30 pm.
To be honest, there is only one thing that scares me about this game and that is the traveling that Texas has done over the last four days. The Horns probably left Norman late on Wednesday night, spent Thursday in Austin, and then traveled to Ames on Friday. Thankfully, this is an afternoon tip and not a morning one, but something about this one feels like an 11 am football kickoff. I hope I'm wrong because Texas has a tremendous advantage in talent and, on paper, shouldn't struggle in this one. But I won't be surprised if Texas comes out a little slow and flat.
Keys to the Game:
(1) Get Damion James and Connor Atchley involved early. I know that Texas can take care of business against lesser teams when the guards do the majority of the scoring. However, for this team to be elite, they will need a more balancing offensive attack.
(2) Keep the crowd out of the game. Clone Chronicles has already let us know that weather may keep some of the Cyclone faithful at home. Hilton Coliseum is still a difficult place to play. All time, Texas is just 2-5 in Ames. If Texas can get start quickly, then the Horns should roll, just like Kansas and A&M did earlier this year.
(3) Play up-tempo. Iowa State would like nothing more than a slow, half-court game. While the Horns are far from the Phoenix Suns, their offense is more effectve when they can get easy looks in transition and score off turnovers. The quicker the pace, the more the game will favor the Horns.
Vegas has the Horns as six point favorites and Pomeroy is predicting a 70-62 Texas win. I think that is about right. Texas probably start slowly, again, but gets it together in the second half.

Who Starts?
Pittman started against Baylor. Chap started against OU. Is it time for Damion to rejoin the starting lineup? I'd say so.

Yeah
I think he starts. We need him on defense today, too.

Anyone know if/where I can find the game online? That great raptorsnation site doesn't have it today (I guess since it's on ABC), and we've got some crap game here in Atlanta (UVA at Wake).
Any ideas?

Horrible Half, ISU up 31-27
Other than AJ's three three-pointers, some nice work in the paint by Gary, and decent work on the glass on the offensive end, that half sucked. Texas struggled with turnovers, easy finishes, and on defense against a terrible shooting team. DJ was out of control and had no luck finishing over taller ISU players in the paint. Damion did nothing after two early buckets, Connor missed some easy ones including a dunk, and Mason still appears to slip on just about every change of direction.
Forget that half. We need 20 minutes of something totally different.

Bucket here is huge
Good timeout by Rick. Set something up. Give it to Gary on the interior and have him look to AJ for the kick-out.

i realize with hd
and being at home that i can see things
that people on the court MAY not be able to see
but this is some blatant bullshit
i'm lucky i can't drink this weekend (meds)
because i'd have broken something
the kick ball
the over the back
the james foul that was either a no call or on isu
there's a lot of bullshit going on
and i hope that after watching this game the longhorns can send in a tape
like they do in the nba
because this official crew should not be allowed to do more games

Infinitely better
Gary Johnson has made the transition to college hoops. Love it.

I love his work on D
he is one of those guys that can really get in your head because he is so quick and gets in your face. Someone is going to take a swing at him by the end of the year.

Great shot, DJ
That's what I want us to use ending regulation.

GJ with the monster board
looks like we got this
Clark fouls out.

MVP
Gary Johnson or AJ Abrams? Both were absolutely fantastic.
by Peter Bean on Feb 9, 2008 4:51 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Both great
Great victory on the road! Nice team win on the road in the big 12. ISU's coach looks like he could help out the horns at tight end (he's huge).

YES
GJ makes one, then James rebounds GJ miss. DJ fouled.

Nice
Team of character shows face again.
13 pts down in 2nd half.

We outlasted these thugs
and this whiny, bitchy crowd.
by jimmer on Feb 9, 2008 4:51 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Maybe our silent,
sit on our hands crowd isn't so bad.

Do not let Damion
touch the ball. Gary really shooting FTs well. AJ and DJ are clutch as well.

Great, great win
Considering the pitiful play for the first 30 minutes of action.
by Peter Bean on Feb 9, 2008 4:54 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Hell yeah, 71-65
and McDermott still bitching.

Burn the game tape
and focus on Kansas now. Ugly W is still a W.

Funny
General consensus was that we got dicked by the refs, namely on the uneven calls on the hand checks.
Still, we lost cause our offense fuckin died in OT.
That was the best crowd we've had since last year versus Kansas.

If you get 360
you should rewatch the game.
The reffs were definitely the B team, and calls were bad for both sides, but I would say that more calls went your way than ours.
by Wells on Feb 9, 2008 6:58 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I think its just a sign of bad officiating
when fans of both teams are vehemently complaining.
It's funny, ask an ISU fan and we were jobbed today. Ask a Horns fan and they were jobbed.
Let's just agree that the refs blew.
Still, we nearly had a full house today, which was nice to see. The pinkout looked good from what I could tell.

Agree
The officiating was terrible - bad calls on both sides. I was livid about the bad ones that went against Texas.

Good call on the hand checking
I was getting very annoyed that the fans were booing every time there was a little contact on the perimeter, but there were probably a few that should have been called.
I thought Augustin played really good perimeter D, and the fact that they were allowing so much contact probably helped him out some.

It could be #4 KU vs #9 UT
#6 G-town losing to Louisville.
#8 Wisconsin losing to Purdue.
#10 Mich St. lost to Iowa
