*** Official #24 IOWA STATE vs #20 BYU Game(Day) Thread ***

[iastatefan1]

Refs have been pretty one sided

 

[loyalsons4evertrue]

I would prefer if we defended the three-point line but that is a tall task at this point.....come on Clones!!!

 

[CycloneJoe6]

Yep. It would be an entirely different story if he was a 3 point threat, but just doesn't give us much.

Which is weird cause I thought that was a big part of his game. But when he’s in he doesn’t even look to shoot from outisde

 

[madguy30]

Some really, really dumb basketball. Did we set a number goal of giving up open looks to Johnson? It looks like we actually want their best shooters to shoot.

Oh fun, you're back.

 

[CycloneVet]

BYU certainly has a hairstyle

 

[cyatheart]

Not hard when the shots are wide open. We aren't covering the 3 well enough. I don't understand how that's not a focal point.

 

[kentkel]

Our brains didn't get off the plane.

I would say that Lipsey, Ward, BRE & Watson are fairly well locked in. The others - too many mental lapses.

 

[ClonerJams]

Boy, the dropoff when Lipsey is on the bench is gigantic.

 

[jctisu]

All things considered if we can get a little run to finish the half here we are in great shape with how sloppy we’ve been. We are better than these guys if we can just clean up the sloppy turnovers mostly.

 

[trevn]

Low IQ basketball by us tonight so far.

 

[NENick]

Obviously want Lipsey to get a quick rest before the under 4 timeout.
TOs are a problem.

 

[Die4Cy]

We get BYUtv at half. Yay!

How does that work? I thought that went away for sports programming when they joined....

 

[cal-cyclone]

We have the athletic advantage, but BYU plays smart and they have shooters. We need to take care of the ball better, and just play smarter. in general.

 

[CYDJ]

Down 6, let's get within 2 by half.

 

[GTO]

We are going to need Heacock-like defensive adjustments for the second half.

 

[clonebb]

Did the announcers go to BYU?

 

[CyGuy5]

I have no idea how Lipsey didn’t get fouled there

 

[iastatefan1]

Refs horrible

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

It's getting away from us.

 

[jctisu]

Hey fun fact Johnson is really good at shooting the ball.
