*** Official IOWA STATE vs #11 Oklahoma Game(Day) Thread ***

[jctisu]

Road life in college basketball. These guys will be fine. We don’t win a lot at OU even with some of our better teams. Winning down there last year I would have been shocked had we got this one, as history says we wouldn’t. Had a chance which makes me feel better about them. I thought there was a chance we wouldn’t be very competitive because of the non-con schedule.

I know it’s going to happen but please try to not get so high and so low in a college hoops season. Especially on the road.

Marquette lost at Seton Hall and FAU lost at Charlotte today. Let that sink in.

that's what happens when you insist on double teaming the other teams players that aren't worth a double team

Its so frustrating when we leave a guy that is a good 3 pt shooter and shooting well and leave him wide open

 

[fsanford]

And give less away?

Yes...they way over rotated.

 

[CloneLawman]

Yup....somebody has to make some shots. Mom will but it might not be a lot this year. Not sure we got anybody else you have to respect from 3.

They haven't shot 19% from 3 for the year and they won't for conference play.

Gilbert is terrible running the point. He just dribbles into trouble and loses it almost every time.

That was all of the guards tonight. Everyone just stood around and watched rather than move and give an outlet.

 

[cyatheart]

Watson and Ward disrupted stuff very nicely, both earned more minutes

Yeah I think just athletically, we have to see those guys more to compete. Ward just got back, so I assume we will see him more.

especially to go double a big 10 ft from the basket who isn't a threat to do anything offensively

 

[cyclonestunners]

We were OK in noncon but aren't probably going to be as good of a 3pt shooting team in conference play. Need to get that fixed and we're in this one.

We really struggle with tight face guards by a lengthy team.

 

[cytor]

The gold uniforms were the difference tonight.

 

[cyatheart]

Of course they won't shoot that bad. But 30 percent won't cut it a lot of nights. Conf play a little different.

Other issue is how many wide open ones we give up.

 

[CRcyclone6]

We don't, but Milan just missed too many tonight. He will bounce back.

 

[CloneLawman]

The gold uniforms were the difference tonight.

They won't wear the gold uniforms for every game in conference play.

I don’t know how it will land with this thread, but something that I have to say about TJ‘s coaching is that Porter was constantly just working the officials something tj doesn’t do and we maybe get some calls if he would just start twirling the officials more. He doesn’t have to yell but porter got a ton of calls because he was doing this

Fred never did it either. Nor did Prohm. It's an ISU thing

 

[cyatheart]

I love BRE, but he is a soft big. That’s just facts.

You have a deep hatred for me, and anything I post, which is fine. Life’s too short for me to waste my time hating on you. Have a nice night!

He's not soft, he's just not as skilled as sone guys. Bre isn't the issue.

Johnny and Larry and Tim did though.

 

[clone96cr]

Watson and Ward disrupted stuff very nicely, both earned more minutes

Agree. Watson for sure should get more minutes in conference play.

 

[cyatheart]

Fred never did it either. Nor did Prohm. It's an ISU thing

Eh....Fred did when he felt he needed to. Prohm you are correct though.

 

[CySmurf]

In this league...
You HAVE to make 3s. I don't care how good we are inside...when other teams are draining 7 3s during the game, you HAVE to shoot better than 3-21 from the 3. We don't have to rely on the 3s...but we damn sure have to be more efficient making them.

 

[Tpups21]

Just seemed like OU had an answer every time ISU got some momentum. Time to knock off Houston on Tuesday.

I would disagree Fred was very good at it. If his team was getting screwed he would get a tech or would be on the officials at least having a convo with them. You don’t need to get a tech but it does swing a ride if you have those convos with the officials
