***Iowa State @ Texas Tech Game Thread***

We must be taught to let them shoot from the perimeter. What else can explain not movng two feet?

TT has been a terrible shooting but they are on at home tonight make a freaking adjustment. And somebody grab a ***-**** rebound

 

[Final42b]

ugh great start...

 

[Clone1450]

UNC losing by 15 at home to Wake????

 

[cycloneworld]

Our guys play with no discipline on D, they're all ball watchers and go for the big steal or block and lose their guys... Thats how guys get so open for 3.

This. AND we are really lazy on defense.

sit brackins for the start of the 2nd half and play Big Ham and Dendy if hes gonna play like he doesnt care

 

[cystud]

Well this is what you get when you have a NBA prospect that plays with absolutely no desire or tenacity (Brackins), a PG that should never start for a Big XII team (DG) and for some reason the coaches can't get any of the players to ever play to their talents despite having proven themselves before coming to ISU.

Please define proven before coming to ISU. Colvin played good in AAU ball with no defense? Gilstrap was great a few years ago in CC? You call that proven? We aren't exactly working with MC D's all americans.

I'm not a huge McDermott guy, but being down by 10 at half after everything that has happened the last 24 hours isn't the end of the world.

[GeronimusClone]

Wow, a coach that doesn't wait to call a TO.

 

[tube1]

Red Raider coaches really dress for the occasion.

Every missed basket is the end of the world. We should raise the wheels on the bandwagon so it's harder to jump on and off.

 

[Dryburn]

This team has no discipline at all.

That's dressy in West Texas.

 

[cyclonestate]

Boy, you can hear the dispair in Eric's voice. This is depressing.

 

[Clone_12]

What's this? A timeout after an uncontested layup?..but now he won't have 4 saved up for the final 2 minutes when it's a 6-15 point game?!?!

I remember the days of us missing a boxout or giving up a layup under Floyd and Eustachy and seeing people get chewed out and benched for it...but that was when we had teams that played to their potential.

 

[GeronimusClone]

Anyone know what Zach Thomas is up to these days?

 

[ISUKyro]

West Texas = a few hundred square miles just like Boone, IA!

 

[CycloneErik]

Anyone know what Zach Thomas is up to these days?

Big career in local commercials?

 

[Covenant Clone]

wow...missed two more free throws.

 

[Final42b]

maybe we should try granny free throws this is is pathetic

 

[TheHelgo]

i think the attitudes of the players reflect that of the coach. I'm guessing McD regrets coming to ISU, and his lack of desire to be here is evident to his players and reflects in their lack of desire to be here.

There, I said it. I think McD wishes he would never have come here, and that is why his teams here lack what they had at UNI.
