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

[davegilbertson]

And if you legitimately thought that was a foul on IZB, come on man. It was clean.

We have kick outs and cutters open, but we got up 12 and made a few bad passes then stopped looking for other guys and started settling for 1on1 and 3's.

The hard sequence was a disaster and all on tj...kaieschur travels out of a timeout, no play on the isiah desperation heave and tgen has Hunter take a foul and they shout free throws anyway...have to be better than that, total mental meltdown last 1 minute

LSU played a really really bad half, we should be up 15.

Not disagreeing that we should be up more, but part of their playing bad was due to our effort. Lowest point total for a half for their entire season.

Either team acts like baskets aren't deadly in the 2nd and they win. Could be us to hopefully.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Jesus. Anyone else in the world and ISU is down 10+

Oh come on. This has been one of the best defensive efforts over a 20 minute stretch that we've seen all year.

Need to stop settling for 3's and long 2's

Officiating is not the problem. We were up 24-12. Went 0-8 down the stretch with 7 missed 3s and Brockington’s missed dunk. Brockington should have passed to Grill for a layup. This is bad coaching and worse shooting. Stop just launching 3s.

The problem is it's not mutually exclusive - the officiating can be a problem while at the same time we're making decisions on the offensive end that aren't helping us. There have been some seriously bad calls in favor of LSU, while at the same time we have jacked up some atrocious 3 point shots. It's not one or the other - it's both.

I'm just optimistic. I'm feeling this one.

ISU fan, Cubs Fan….if you are also a Bears fan we need to hang out…and kick each other in the nuts for a hour.

First time ever!!!

Chattanooga let this slip, could have won this.

 

[RezClone]

Might want to watch that in slow motion. Agreed on needing to pass that to Grill, but he was definitely fouled.

I'll take your word for it. Well that really sucks. It was a swing play for sure

 

[Acylum]

what does Gabe do at practice to earn these minutes? I've wondered this since the first conference game.

Give the scout team practice on run outs after he turns it over?

 

[CycloneErik]

Tonight + 5 more for the perfectest noncon season of all.

I don't disagree with the gist of your post but IB got assaulted on that dunk attempt. I have a hard time blaming him for that.

 

[khardbored]

Let's go, dudes!!!!

 

[Cardinal2001]

I'll be honest I don't think it was a foul. IB has to dunk that or give it up to CG. he was uncharacteristically going for a pretty casual layup when he usually slams those home. Especially on the left side of the rim.

I believe he was dunking

If there's pain, I could be a Bears fan.

 

[madguy30]

How can a college basketball player airball so many threes. I wasn't kidding when I asked if he needed glasses.

Well he hit one and the rest of the team isn't exactly Tyrus McGee.

Do we want a 2 point lead instead?

Heck he's the one trying to get to the hoop like everyone thinks ISU should just 'do'.

He struggles but the 'bench the team!' thing is a little lost at this point.

 

[Clone95]

If we can come out of half and extend it to 10 I think it’s over. Need IB to take over.

 

[Walden4Prez]

Oh….there’s pain alright

 

[mynameisjonas]

Biggest positive is we only have 6 turnovers. That is a great number.
