*** Official #22 TCU vs #19 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[exCYtable]

Thank God for Jaz. What a breath of fresh air. If we could get him AND Tre King rolling, this team could be so freaking good!

 

[madguy30]

I swear there are whole games when TJ forgets we have Tre King. Today is not one of those games.

No fouls yet which helps. I think he gets out of position quite a bit which leads to the fouls so if he's staying succinct he can stay in. Might also be a match up thing.

There is nothing free on free throws for these two teams.

******* ZRF. Can't critique players without calling them swear words. For shame.

 

[dahliaclone]

Ok. I need an explanation of why it sure seems like when we get a big lead we think it’s best to put in Jones when what was working was great. The lead ALWAYS drops when he’s in. Turnovers. Bad shots. I do love his hustle but it’s really boggling to me. He’s not having a horrible game but a couple of times when he was in bad plays by him led to buckets

End of rant. I’m happy we are up.

Solid half. Have to handle ball pressure better second half .

 

[legi]

I was shocked KU didn't pressure us.

I think Self doesn’t want to do that cause the starters would get tired fast and KS bench is worthless.

 

[madguy30]

Thank God TCU almost as bad as ISU at FTs

Is there a particular reason why we have 10,500 in attendance tonight. Weather not until much later and we have a top 25 matchup. Extremely disappointing.

Their lack of depth is real this year.

Don't let them force it inside and drag the game out and just get out of there with a win.

TJ prefers to almost always play a traditional 5 man. TJ also rotates guys a lot to keep the effort on the court fresh. So Rob comes in 2-3 time per half instead of more traditional rotations which might only see the backup center 2-3 per game. This is why it seems like he is always subbing in.

 

[legi]

This is probably a lot to ask but please god no quick fouls on Gabe and Shoon.

Imagine labeling a college kid as 'worthless' because they didn't play a game the way you want.

 

[Malone]

TCU ft shooting looks like us in Stillwater.

We’re a smart Shoon away from being ahead by a fair amount more. Leads go away when Bob goes in and that’s not disputable. The ball dies.

Good lord the preprogrammed halftimes are ****.
