In terms of defensive effort: Iowa State-Houston reminds me of the NBA All Star game, except not at all.

The haters said we would not win this game, and they were correct. Honestly a great call by the haters.

Iowa State moves UP from 9 to 8 in KenPom after tonight's loss at Houston. Not surprised at all to see its offensive efficiency number move into the top 40 ... up to 39. Computers LOVED that performance, despite the loss.

Covered two years of college basketball in my college days and tonight at the Fertitta Center might be the loudest atmosphere I’ve heard. Every possession is a journey.

Only rival is the Allen Fieldhouse, but I was there during winter break. pic.twitter.com/JAYVmwyCUK
