#10 Iowa St +6.5 vs #2 tOSU (ov/un 141.5) Sun 12:15 CBS

Love the play action on that final play. Basketball is such a game of timing, strategy, and inches.

If you go back and watch the replay, some fo the cool "inside" action on that play included:

Going small-ball, leaving Iowa State center guarding LaQuinton Ross. Early in the play, Q came over to set the pick and roll, which was for nothing other than forcing the ISU switch....and it worked. When Q came up with 20 seconds to set that screen, everyone knew the play wasn't going to start, it was just about getting the match-up we wanted.

Once Aaron got the match-up he wanted, if you watch the play, we set-up a staggerred screen to th etop of the key for DeShaun. That screen inititaed too quickly however. If you watch the replay, Aaron pretty much desregards DT on the open look, but it isn't because of the mismatch, IMO. DT left too quickly. If DT takes that shot and misses, it leaves ISU with 4 seconds which was the worst possible scenario for Ohio State.

I think Aaron is just super heady and decided he'd either win the game or it'd go to overtime. Giving the ball to DT was potentially losing the game in that moment just because of ot not being timed well enough.

Chuck Barkely can bitch all day long about some fo the bad calls, but the truth of th ematter is, Iowa State was in double bonus with 7 minutes left in second half based on the ticky tack fouls we were hit with all game.

An argument can easily be made if we are allowed to box out, the game wouldn't have even been close. I know if I were an ISU fan I'd be pissed, but in the end I feel like it evened out.
