All I can say now that I've had time to calm down is, whew! Still alive.

Thomas shooting 90% at the line is a plus in close games.

Too bad he’s only shot 67 free throws all season

Next up on Wednesday: HoJo Tech, 3:00 (or so), ESPNU.

Thomas shooting 90% at the line is a plus in close games.

Totally agree Thomas should be in at the end of games for his FT shooting and ball handling. My issue was that he was in the lineup way too much yesterday when he clearly was having one of his off games and both Tillery and Harris (defensively) were more effective.

UC favored 2.5 today? Interesting spread.

[Gmann]

It's gotta be because we are viewed as the more motivated or desperate team which we are. Hope the Cats play that way.

We're favored by 4 on Torvik.

We scored 1.11 points per possession against Utah. Shot selection was horrible. We took 23 midrange shots and only made 6 of them. But we were very efficient at the rim (12 for 14) and from three (9 for 23).

Celestine was our best player, making 5 of 8 from deep. Baba was second best, bouncing back with 6 assists and no turnovers to go along with 11 points and 14 boards. And Abaev returns to this list after a long absence with the third best statistical impact. He was 1 for 2 from deep with 6 rebounds and 2 blocks in just 12 minutes. Tillery, Harris, and McKinley also had positive games.

Day Day was our worst player. Back to cold shooting, only 2 points from the field on 7 shots with a game high 3 turnovers. Jizzle was next worst, scoring only 6 points on 9 shots. Thiam was third worst, needing 13 shots to score 11 from the field with 2 turnovers.

Iowa State leads Arizona State at the half 45-16 ... sheesh

It’s now 72-33. Obviously ASU guys know their coach is out and don’t feel like playing.

[GoBearcats31]

Iowa State won by a record-setting 49 points
