Also we don’t have McDonald’s colors.

It’s true but this is also a good draw. A win over some other bubble team doesn’t do much but a loss to a NonCon bubble team would be crushing.

Iowa st is really good. It’s also a 10AM tip in Vegas of all places.

We just gotta wake up and be the angrier team. Keep the defense and make better shots. We saw something that could’ve been something Monday. Then a derailment yesterday.

The Nate’s and Kyle need to steady the ship on offense and the rest will fall in line. I gotta believe that this team got back to the hotel and said what the hell were these shots we were taking.

 

[FireballPhil]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO my two favorite teams! Syracuse better cover Momcilovic and hopefully Lipsey is still out. The rest of the team we can handle.

 

[Charbroil]

It’s been said elsewhere but this team needs to find a way to beat Iowa State or Tennessee. Can’t go 0-4 in this stretch the way the rest of the schedule shakes out. I’m keeping my fingers crossed they bring the same effort as Houston and pull off the upset here.

This Iowa state game is an absolute gift. They are 100% a top 15 team in the country - another chance for a big OOC win with very little downside. Much better than playing UNLV/Rutgers which is no benefit to us.

Thought we were cooked OOC cuz we won’t beat Tennessee but this is possibly an early Christmas present

Agree. But we have to win. We're in trouble if we go 0-4 in this stretch including Tenn.

 

[Lukeyloo]

can we please just not go winless in another early season tournament? We literally never win any games in these anymore.

 

[RedtheGOB]

Trouble but not ruined. There was a glimpse Monday, yesterday we regressed.

Solid teams bounce back and take care of business at home. We have 2 more shots. A lot better than having to play garbage the last 2 games and Tomorrow and having so much riding on Tennessee.

Not many teams running this gauntlet. SMU is not playing a ranked team until ACC play. Virginia played a joke NonCon. Nc state looks like a mess suddenly. Those are the teams we need to prove we’re better than.

 

[Eric15]

We have only played Iowa State twice in program history -- 1948 and 1990.

 

[OrangeinBoston]

I can't imagine how SU shoots as badly again as they did yesterday. SU wins.

 

[SUalldway]

I can't imagine how SU shoots as badly again as they did yesterday. SU wins.

Kiyan needs to drive and score/dish/get fouled & stop throwing up long distance 3s that are nearly air balls!

 

[Eric15]

It's going to be absolutely soul crushing if we lose today.

We are so overdue for an above average shooting display, especially from Kiyan.

We go 0-4 and we basically need to go undefeated at the dome in the ACC while peeling off 3 or 4 road games. The rest of the non conference only helps us with victory margin.

If we go 0-4 in this stretch. Pretttttty good chance we have a new coach not named Red on the sidelines this time next year

Win win!

 

[Janner]

3 games in less than 3 days is brutal for any team, but especially hurts for a teams like our with the way we play defense. Hopefully ISU is just as tired because we desperately need to find a win against one of these top 15 teams

 

[NineOneSeven]

I think we win today.

Kingz has a good shooting day, 5-8 from deep.

We shoot 65% at the line with only 1 airball.

74-70.

 

[cusefan88]

I had to Google the last time they played. Looks like only two meetings EVER and last one in 1990.

 

[dan7800]

It's going to be absolutely soul crushing if we lose today.

My soul was crushed Saturday.

 

[orange7]

Need a win today. Get one.

ISU plays the same defense, also playing 3 games in 3 days, you can be less talented but the “tired” excuse is a bad one

 

[DoctahLexus]

Have to be up by 20 going into crunch time or they will foul us and win. Tall order.
