*** Official IOWA STATE vs #14 Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

I don’t buy that talent BS. I actually believe we have better than average talent.

That explains a lot.

 

[Blandboy]

Absolutely weird why Tre Jackson and Tristan Enaruna aren’t seeing more of the court.. Are people not seriously questioning that!??

coach's decision

Someone should check the "premium board" and see if there are any clues.

 

[MLawrence]

Was Prohm REALLY that bad?? That’s what you got to ask yourself. Because OTZ isn’t exactly blowing me away with his coaching prowess…

You asking about the guy who had 2 wins last year? That guy?

 

[ca4cy]

Dumb…. and wrong.

If that’s the case, I’m not seeing any Cyclone fans on here tonight.

You don't think this fan base is going to have people excited to watch us in the NCAA tournament coming off a freaking 2 win season?

 

[cyclonehomer]

Just looked it up and Nixon actually had slightly better numbers.

Not surprised. I don't think people realize quite how bad Gabe's numbers are this year. I get it's hard to quantify defensive value but... his offensive numbers are hard to believe.

 

[stormchaser2014]

If Iowa State plays Virginia, who scores 20 points first?

 

[83cy]

Yeah, we only have a pile of Q1 wins that show we can beat exactly the level of team that's in the tournament.

Tired of the Q1 wins BS have you watched this team in the last month? A couple of close wins and......................not much else.

 

[simply1]

rest up and hope for a good matchup, 3rd time seeing us isn’t helping.

 

[madguy30]

Reality starting to set in that we more than likely have less than an hour of Cyclone sports left for nearly 6 months...

You get two hours next week at least.

Then maybe people will find other things to do than hate the team they cheer for.

 

[Halincandenza]

Can we play Tre in the second half instead of Gabe? Feel like Tre can make a couple shots. Also see if we switch Jones out for Tristan

This. Why doesn’t he try something new when they are getting killed?

 

[Clonefan32]

Let’s just get matched up with UVA in the NIT and see how many years we can set back basketball.

 

[WastedTalent]

they were missing half their team

That same tech team beat KU a few days after.

I'm not defending this abysmal effort, but let's not get crazy.

 

[Malone]

Put this way, yes I agree. Put the way Malone put it is not using your head.

And yet they just went 1-2 vs TCU, KSU and Okie St. They could make a run, but let’s not pretend like they are some juggernaut playing great lately, yet this looks like a HS team vs a 5th grade team.

They’ve also been missing McCullar and Shannon for many games

 

[MLawrence]

Hey UVA had a 13 point first half— could be worse!

We aren’t out of the 36-points-woods yet my friend.

 

[cdface]

ISU needs more 6'8 crazy good athletes that can guard anywhere.

Know any teams like that?

Apparently most other big 12 teams?

 

[Halincandenza]

Absolutely weird why Tre Jackson and Tristan Enaruna aren’t seeing more of the court.. Are people not seriously questioning that!??

Because they might score

 

[Marcelason78]

I give TJ due credit for what he did this year. No one would have thought we’d be in the tourney.

But it sucks to have gotten hopes up so high. Next year will likely be bottom of Big 12 and sub 500. Incoming class is okay, but - let’s be honest - none of them are program changers. He’s got to land a huge class next year or our program is going to be in complete rebuild mode.

TJ's not done recruiting for next season's squad.

 

[cygrads]

At the half

UNC 33
Virginia 13

So it could be worse

UVA not going to tournament.

 

[GTO]

Jeff Beverly boxed out.

And had that reliable baseline jumper. Great. Now you're making me miss Jeff Beverly?
