*** #14 IOWA STATE vs #5 Texas A&M Game(day) Thread ***

[ISUFan22]

Blame the officials all you want, this one is on Jameel in my book.

Team loss. But the uneducated must have their whipping boy.

 

[BigCojones]

Shoot 20% from free throw line, commit 16 plus turnovers on the road against #5 team and it is the refs? Really? Sometimes I think people look forward to being called whiners....

Ah some of those turnovers were a result of the refs. 3 travel calls at least that weren't travels.

 

[awd4cy]

Their student section is a big sausage fest

 

[CyArob]

Turnovers/refs and FT's. Time to beat WVU

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Surprised the camera never panned to Johnny Football in the crowd

 

[Gunnerclone]

That is a tough, tough team. Much respect for those guys.

I feel like in 3-4 years that is what our team is going to be like.

 

[bosco]

The way Prohm coached it seemed like he was too awestruck coaching against his mentor

 

[bpmcclain]

When did Marcus Smart join that a&m coaching staff? Their flopping skills were impressive today

 

[ISUFan22]

9 pts, 13 rebs playing with a bum knee.

Here come the idiots

Idiots here all the time. Every day. The LOVE when ISU loses so they can snivel and whine.

 

[Gnomeborg]

I think we all know who to blame in this one. The idiot that opened a game day thread that wasn't Rulezz

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Ah some of those turnovers were a result of the refs. 3 travel calls at least that weren't travels.

Throw in a pair of offensive fouls (count as turnovers) that were questioned by Miles Simon. That dude knows basketball.

 

[AuH2O]

I saw two phantom travels. What were the other bad calls people are referring to? I'm sure there were some, but not a number that isn't expected in a typical road game.

 

[madguy30]

Bad shooting and bad officials will give you this result.

And ATM's length and quickness on defense.

Nice to see what else is out there...ATM would do very well in the Big 12 if not be the best team.

Hopefully McKay gets out of his funk at some point, and I don't know if it's his injury but he just doesn't have the same offensive presence overall this year.

On to West Virginia...they'll be looking for redemption after getting waxed by Florida.

It really feels like even in basketball season, ESPN just LOVES them some SEC.

 

[swarthmoreCY]

Good effort, just a little too many self-inflicted mistakes/misses as well as some things out of our control not going our way. Such a fine line in these types of games.

I don't get the McKay criticism. Imo McKay gave us his normal great effort- he is better than last year. He is consistently out-manned, if not out-muscled. We we checkout well, he cleans up, and when he is going against 3 other guys for a rebound he still does well. He is more aggressive this year, if anything he is too aggressive this year- trying to do things that he is not the best at.

 

[CyArob]

We pretty much do really well when Nader and Morris can hit 3's, and badly when the opposite happens.

Lol, you're kidding, right?

 

[Cyinthenorth]

The way Prohm coached it seemed like he was too awestruck coaching against his mentor

nah

 

[isuno1fan]

Refs were fine. Better team today won.

 

[CycloneVet]

Blaming Jameel? Some of you people are dumb ****s

 

[Rabbuk]

You shoot that badly from the free throw line, you lose games. Also Nader being in down the wire instead of burton was silly.
