Duke would end up shooting 40+ FTs against them.

Man their length at guard scares me..we've got to have some adjustments in the bag otherwise they'll swallow up our tiny guards of Dennis and Nunn.


We're way longer at guard. They're small.

Does anyone know what LJ's package was at UH this year?

I'm guessing he'll take the COVID year and come back for his 5th year next year.

Not talking height..talking wingspan.. they're like condors.

LJ with 4 fouls
Houston has 15
Iow State has 12

Houston has 2 players with 4 each
Iowa State doesn't have any with more than 2

We are way way longer. All our guards have 6'7"" wingspans and higher. I know it doesn't seem like it bc our defense struggles so much.

Maybe the guys I'm looking at are forwards switching on ISUs guards . Cause watching them stand at free throw line they're definitely longer than anything ISU has.

I'm drawing a blank. Gimme some help.

This is a game Higgins would have always gotten. I haven't seen him this year. But, I don't remember what happened? Did he take an officials coordinator job somewhere?

Higgins retired in the off season

Thank you. I don't know why it hasn't dawned on me until tonight.

Surprised this game didn't get Doug Sirmons, Darrin George or Gerry Pollard.

Yes, their forwards are longer (not than us but than their guards). Short but good reach.

Yep..he retired to take over coordinator of officials for the 6 conferences out west (Pac 12 Mountain West Big West etc)

Every time it's looked like UH was about to get a comfortable lead ISU has come back....be curious to see what happens here

TOs and FTs are the game. Been pretty evenly matched but home court makes a huge difference in those two stats

True. But every time Iowa State gets close Houston responds. I think the closest they've been in the second half was 4 points and it never lasted long.

Home Court is a huge advantage always. It seems like that is especially the case this year in the Big 12.

UConn would be a brutal matchup for us. Nasty

KSU now stacking L's like it's a job.

It's so weird to go on Twitter or X, whatever, when he's doing one of our games and see the number of Baylor fans complaining about how he hates us.

Moody is a very difficult place to play in. We list there 2 years in a row but Baylor WBB won
historian

They expect him to sound like JoMo or shake done green & gold pompoms. Unrealistic.

Fran is about as pro-Baylor as possible while still neutral. He makes mistakes but he's one of the most balanced I think.
DanaDane

From a scoreboard standpoint, this is gonna look like a blowout by Big 12 standards of 5 point losses or less.
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I understand that. KSU still sucks.

UH is clutch from FT line late

Spread was 9 points in this one...its teetering
