OFFICIAL ISU vs. Duke thread

I honestly can't understand our rebound woes. I never see our guys with position. Bilas mentioned we spend too much time blocking shots and we needed to focus on defensive position rather than the spectatular play. I dunno.

Duke is very physical, and I don't mean athletic, they work harder for rebounds. Rebounding is effort and attitude....
 
ISU needs to hit a few threes and this game is going to be good. got to d up on those guards of Duke though. Lucca can't hang with them.
 
echoing the rebounding. this is getting crazy. its not like we are really scoring in transtion real well... minus that last shot
 
I'm not sure why our guys looked so shell-shocked. It's not like we don't play top 5 talent every year. My guess is that only a couple of these guys have that experience.
 
We can win

IF

We get hot with 3s and it opens the middle for Brackins and Gilstrap.
 
We're playing hard (finally). A little too fast at times, but within 10 at the half is nice (GREAT shot by MG).

All that said, I want to jump through the TV and rip Mike Patrick's ******* face off! Do some homework before you do a damn game! I hate that little puke ******* and his Schyer boy crush.

GO CYCLONES!!!!!
 
Major props to DG for finishing during the first half.. Thats the DG we need. Great taking it to the rack.

Best game i have seen DG play, i have not been much of a supporter of him over the years - love his play tonight (just don't forget it back in ames).

like to see him and colvin play together in teh 2nd half. he looked good too.
 
Our post players need to learn to play off one another. They force to many shots when their getting doubled. Looks to me as I've said in other posts Hamilton needs more touches when they double down on Craig. Ham does nothing but make the shot when given that opportunity.
 
I meant to quote you ajk, but yea this is the DG from the Oklahoma game last year.

Keep it up son!
 
I think Shuyer is from the same high school as Chris Collins. Nice Duke pipeline.
 
Somebody play defense, Duke stays out of the lane, rebounding gets easier. Not a tough formula. Rebounding starts at the beginning of the shotclock, not when it's reset. You can't try to block every shot or you'll get torched on the boards like we are not. Dendy, Brackins, Gilstrap, play D, help, rebound.

In the second half, they need to run a lot of high post picks with brackins and garret. They started hedging out on the dribble containment, Brackins needs to pop to an area for a open shot.
