I had Tru when I had basic cable and still have it with Hulu plus Live TV package.TruTV should be part of any basic cable package, I assume it's on streaming services too but I haven't done that yet. Seems like not one service carries all I would want at some point so I'd have to buy several.
Unless you're joking...it's early in the morning.
Iowa St., Mon., Nov. 24, 4:30p, TruTV / 1050 AM
- Thread starter Knight
- Start date
I think ties broken by margin of victory . If so, you need to win big.
Per Zach—
Let’s start with the Cyclones, a defensively dynamite team led by All-American-caliber guard Tamin Lipsey.
Iowa State is ranked fourth in adjusted defensive efficiency this season and is turning over the opposition on 28.4 percent of its possessions, the top mark in the country (all stats through Wednesday). The undefeated Cyclones’ steal percentage of 17.5 is ranked second nationally.
Taking care of the ball and containing Lipsey will be key. Like Alabama, the Cyclones return a lot of last season’s roster, most notably starters Lipsey and forwards Joshua Jefferson and Milan Momcilovic. All three players were double-figure scorers a season ago.

They are a very good team but we have to be able to beat teams like this to get to where we want to be. I think this will be a very competitive game but we will win by 6-10 points.
Our guards will really be tested and have to protect the ball.
We may have the talent edge, but ISU has more experience playing together as a unit. Fun matchup.

Would love for them to pick 9 man rotation and stick to it. No coincidence guys who have shot well their whole lives not shooting as well as they have. Tough to get into a rhythm under current rotation.
Zuby, Hopkins, Sannon, Sellers, Darling
Mitchell, Jackson, Prey and Ayo
Like Mitchell and Jackson together off bench. Zuby doesn’t seem totally comfortable with new teammates offensively and defensively yet. Would have liked to play him more with core guys early on instead of mad scientist lineups.
Like to go through Zuby first which will open up threes for Sellers, Sanon and Jackson.
Hopkins needs to rebound better in order to play 3 guards.

It was early for me too. I figured out that its on my streaming serviceTruTV should be part of any basic cable package, I assume it's on streaming services too but I haven't done that yet. Seems like not one service carries all I would want at some point so I'd have to buy several.

I agree. I would prefer to start Mitchell with Hopkins and Zuby, but you can only do that if you have two of Sanon, Jackson, Sellers in the backcourt. And right now you can't do that. So you have to start Darling and if you do that then you can't start Mitchell because you need more offense.
Which lands us with your lineup and bench, with which I agree.
I could do with less Ayo, though. He's useful for minutes here and there but I do not think he should be a rotation player on this team. He and Liotopoulos can split a part-time role depending on what's needed in any given game.
This will be a good test to see where we are. Hopefully win by double digita
Jumped up four spots at EvanMiya.com, based of efficiency. That's no easy feat in one game
There is no one on this team more gifted than him.
However, it seems like, if he doesn't get one to go down early, his confidence goes south.

Ayo is perfect 9th man, Don’t have to give him big mins and is usually productive no matter how little he is used.
This is the problem with turning over the roster every year. You play big games early against teams who return 4 or 5 guys who played a lot minutes for them last year and it becomes an issue. Just like it did against Alabama. We have to start retaining at least 4 or 5 quality minute players from year to year. Zuby is our only returning guy who played an abundance of minutes last year. Let’s hope we’ve meshed enough to win a close one against Iowa St.
I also think he plays to the level of his competition. They didn’t need him last night. In our last 3 games against big time teams, he posted 23 pts 12 rebs against Arkansas, 24 6 vs Michigan and 27 10 vs Alabama. I think he’ll play well in Vegas.
Lets just see how this tournament plays out
Agree in theory but a) Zuby spends a lot of his time on the perimeter and b) when he does get the ball in the post, passing it back out to the perimeter is not on his radar.
