*** Official New Hampshire vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Someone tell Rob to quit putting the ball on the floor.
Some times bigs dribble when they shouldn't but the don't dribble thing makes it hard to make good post moves. His ability to score the ball this year have improved our post play greatly.
 
What more do you need to see? We just blew out a decent New Hampshire team that other Blue Bloods have struggled with. We've manhandled most non con which we rarely do in the past. We wrecked Iowa. We finally have multiple shooters and scorers. We're doing it inside and out. Sure we struggled a bit in that early season tourney, but we had a lot of new guys we were trying to gel. This is a really good team that will finish top third of the conference.
What blue blood struggled with New Hampshire?

He’s not good. Have you seen him play? He’s not good at anything and plays like he’s really nervous. I’m mind blown that he was a 5 star.

Only ISU would finally land a 5 star player and he ends up sucking.

I tend to believe you though. He didn’t show much for skills in HS other than dunking and being bigger and more athletic than everyone else.

Fizer, Wigginton, Brackins, and Omaha were all five stars coming out of high school that came to ISU. He’s got potential, but right now he has no business playing meaningful minutes.
 
I think the Thanksgiving trny has sewed alot of doubt with fans. Only 2 teams with a pulse we played and we lost. Hard to read.

And there appeared to be a pretty hard reset on the approach of how the team is going to operate since then as well after being pretty clunky in Orlando. Adding Ward hopefully helps too.

That said next Saturday will be much needed to bet an idea of where things are and I'm sure the players and coaches would agree.

He doesn't suck. He hit from about anywhere in high school.

Not everything is 'you are labeled something >>>>>>> right away you are great at a different level' for everyone.

There's still 3 months left of the season and I'll be surprised if he doesn't come along and contribute at some point.

Syracuse was both teams' first game and Syracuse's first game with a new head coach.

Uconn shot an abysmal 14% from 3 while NH shot 48% from 3 yet still lost by 20.

We're going to continue to try to dominate the paint and turn them over a lot. They'll stay close if we let them get comfortable behind the arc, but that spread should be pretty close to accurate at the end of the day.
