*** Official IOWA STATE vs #12 Texas A&M Game(Day) Thread ***

[Darius Bieber]

Honestly fouling us is a winning strategy

 

[AuH2O]

This is bad folks. November basketball is mostly meaningless come March, but we got a ways to go.

Meaningless in terms of how a team is playing, you are correct. But November wins and losses change your margin of error come conference season.

 

[ca4cy]

Those wide open 3’s we are missing are killers

I'm more worried about the wide open free throws.

 

[CYDJ]

How about that, they catch A&M reaching in? Interesting to choose to start that now.

 

[herbicide]

For who?

At some point just anyone with a pulse and that point isn’t far off…

 

[alarson]

Dramatic much?

I mean, anytime you lead by 20+ and give that lead up, I don't think you can be too dramatic

 

[fsanford]

9-16 from the line brutal

 

[stormchaser2014]

Dramatic much?

I'm hoping to eat my words.

 

[Cyched]

Man, good defense and board by Pav

 

[simply1]

I dont care what anyone says here Gilbert attacking is our best offense, hope he keeps doing it.

Just not into triple team..

 

[Rabbuk]

I'm more worried about the wide open free throws.

A&m is somehow shooting worse from the line

 

[ISUTex]

Dumb foul of Bob. Still in it though.

November and December basketball has buoyed each of the last two seasons for all intents and purposes.

 

[CycloneJoe6]

Why are we double teaming 35ft from the freaking basket

 

[cyclonestunners]

No no - this is a teachable moment. Hampton was a choke job for the ages.

Too soon.

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

Those wide open 3’s we are missing are killers

We just don’t have any shooters. Unfortunately two of our players don’t realize that

 

[madguy30]

And what will they do? He's been bad on O but can guard on a team that's not guarding very well.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

Bob Jones picking up a foul 30 ft from the basket is f*cking maddening

 

[jspeels]

Any real reason Omaha can’t buy minutes, especially if we want him to learn?? Just curious. It’s not like I’m seeing amazing things from the guys getting minutes.

 

[bustamoveisu]

Got the Mo and Big Rob de-energy takes it away.
