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

[CRcyclone6]

Are the sudents back yet? On Monday?

I wish

 

[pourcyne]

??? You remain ahead of me, bro.

You're saying this ain't your weiner dog?



Damn, next thing you'll be telling us that your real name is not Thelonius Noah.

My faith in humanity has been shaken.

Now...back to the thread...

NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF, CYCLONES.

This is when classes start. I’m guessing they’ll be at one of both games next week because, home.

Other bummer here is....there are only 3 or 4 realistically winnable road games, and this was one of them.

The good news ISU does not play at KU this year. After seeing how TCU got screwed today, that is an auto loss cuz it's 8 on 5.

They go to UCF, Cincinnati who like ISU has not played the greatest schedule. Best win is GA Tech.

They do not go to WV, Tech or OSU. And those places seem to give ISU lots more problems than say a Texas. Remember the blown lead at Tech.


I think they grab 2 or 3 on the road

Am I silly to think that we don't have to ONLY score off of turnovers and runouts this year? If we didn't double every time down the floor, we could hit them by surprise every time. When you get used to a particular thing that will be hitting you, you know how to counter it and, in the past, we were able to cover up after a quick reversal, but we don't have that kind of skill right now (I think we showed that.) we need to double on like 30% of the D possessions and play more straight up help on the other 70%. Maybe I'm wrong, just seems we don't HAVE to get turnovers to score this year.

The way college players shoot layups, I think you force them to the cup

bad bad coaching at the end of the Oklahoma Sooners Iowa State mens game. drive, and draw a foul, do not go to a frosh to shoot treys. get a clue coaching staff!

That freshman happens to be a pretty good shooter (maybe our best) I am just fine with him having the rock at the end. His shots were good, he just didn't make them. That's part of the game.

Friendly suggestion: Watch a few more game and learn the team before criticizing TJ and staff

The way WVU has been this year this'd be one year we probably would want them as one of our road games.

I would rather have UCF.
WV just got what could be arguably their best player back.

BRE with a dribble 0%, BRE without a dribble 80%.

Obviously trying tn to let Milan win the game, happy about it. Good time to see what happens and we are going to need some end of game from him and I would say KG.

End of half still sucks, we are about 2% since Fred.

 

[CloneLawman]

In my day we were. Didn't matter if school was back in. Weak sauce students!

Soft students. ROT in the student section!!

 

[MartyFine]

All anyone needs to remember is to spit hot fire at these Big 12 “officials” on Tuesday

 

[cyclones500]

I don't know either but I was hoping with an overall upgrade in athleticism that ISU wouldn't need to be make every possession a hornets' nest and could just D up a bit.

I think it's a matter of knowing the best % of hornets'-nesting vs. straight-upping.

Giving up 71 on the road isn’t bad, make 6-21 instead of 3-21 from 3 and we might have won. We will have better shooting nights.

Milan struggled in stretches and will be a difference maker

He keeps getting good looks like tonight, we will win a bunch.

 

[ISU_Guy]

Is there only like 1-2 games we have remaining that are not crazy hard ?

Nope but Hilton. Anyone treating our circumstances like a friendly social gathering needs to forfeit their seats

Next weeks games are not part of the students season ticket package.

That’s not what I said, but thanks for the clarification.

 

[NWICY]

Not to mention it seems like we’ve always played poorly down there.

Ugh I went to a game down there a few yrs back Niang, Morris teams, jumped out to a big lead gave it all up and ended up losing by 10 or better if I remember right. That one was disappointing.
