*** Official IOWA STATE Vs Texas Game(Day) Thread ***

Good thing I picked up a case of beer this morning

After Bolton missed the point blank layup and Texas rebounded I knew it was over. This team is not good at finishing.

Point....freaking.....blank.

I'm pretty sure there's going to be a point shaving investigation after that debacle...it's like they tried to lose.

Are they tanking for Burrow?

Bolton trying to be the hero is a coaching mistake. Ball needs to be in Haliburtons hands. What in the hell is going on with this team

I only disagreed because Hali had a couple chances in the last couple minutes and didn't deliver (turned over a pass and missed a shot). I'm fine with Bolton getting to the rim.

 

[HFCS]

Texas way too excited about this win. They probably suck.

Any time outs called during the collapse?

 

[MeowingCows]

• Have a narrow lead as the game comes to a close
• Put the ball in the hands of your most prolific playmakers
• Neither of them make a single basket over ~4 shots

Terrible. Just awful.

I don’t care if it was a point blank lay-up. Ball needs to be in the hands of the lottery pick down 1 with a minute left. Bottom line.

When a team falls so completely apart like that at the end of game, when mental weakness is so apparent, when no one on the court knows to make an intentional foul right away, and then the guy with four fouls and one of your three point shooters FINALLY fouls. ......those are all coaching issues

I was watching the play-by-play on ESPN and noticed Haliburton had no shots beyond the 12:32 mark of the 2nd half. How can the guy disappear offensively for over half of the 2nd half? I see Rasir Bolton had plenty of attempts during that span.

There’s no difference between the bottom 4, maybe 5 teams in this conference. Remember we basically played Texas & TCU to a push in their house. Some team is going to finish 6th in this league as just be a bad team.

The same guy that had a turnover and a horrible possession ending in a garbage shot immediately before that?

Our guys just need to ******* execute when it matters. Pathetic.

Illegal screen away from the ball. Refs controlling the outcome. Why even call that?

Are you serious Clark? Texas is a bad team, and any team with even a hint of a pulse should have been able to salt that game away, up 4 with 2 to play. This is a bad team that has been spinning their wheels following the Seton Hall game.

Even if you don't believe it, Bolton has a better chance of getting to the rim for layup/foul than Hali does

The problem was it was in his hands during the last couple minutes and he had a dumb turnover on a pass and missed a shot.

Tyrese bricked a long ranged two with less than 2 minutes to go

Something to do with pooches and screwing?

 

[ISU1294]

I petition we play all games on the LHN from now on so no one has to watch this team. Think of the children, my goodness.
