Great second half offense after really struggling with our shooting in the first half.
Some thoughts:
- Weird to see all of the colors in the gym match the colors of the road team. This home away from home is getting old.
- Only five turnovers today, so we took much better care of the ball compared to Thursday.
- I really thought that we were going to see two starters miss extended time due to injury. Nice to see Hollins and Woods not only get back in the game, but play well.
- What sort of a recruiting budget does ISU have? Chile, Serbia, Hungary, Australia, Hawaii. These guys are from all over the place.
- I can’t believe that Peery wasn’t T’d up in the first half. Stomping your foot usually gets their attention and then swearing at them usually gets you the technical.
- Tucker’s mid-range shooting over the past two games is really spot on. I love me some dunks and three pointers, but watching Tucker’s pick and pops today was a thing of beauty.
- Edwards must have been up last night watching Arvydas Sabonis clips on youtube. Dang, 3/4 from beyond the arc and 21 points, all in only 18 minutes.
- For a couple of guys that can really heat up for threes, Canda and Mayhew were really cold today. Good thing Strickland and Edwards picked up the slack.
- Any idea what the PSU record is for consecutive double/doubles is? Hollins will be going for four straight on Thursday. He was a beast on the glass today.
Well, back to the road against for a couple of winnable games. 2-0 would be very nice given that we were basically one shot away from going 2-0 on this home stand. How nice would it be to be headed into the BSC tourney with a five game streak going?
