Alright, where do I start with this mess of an article? First off, it’s basically a laundry list of stats and names without any attempt to weave them into a meaningful narrative. You’re giving us numbers, but no story. Just a dry, robotic recount of the game that could’ve been written by an algorithm.
There’s no context about the game’s significance—how did this victory feel for Iowa State? Was there any drama, any moments where the game turned around? How did the team react to the win? Nothing like that. Instead, we get a random assortment of stats and then, bam, a technical foul by Curtis Jones that barely gets any follow-up. What was the energy like? Did it impact the game? Was it a turning point? The article is missing that human element that makes sports writing exciting.
Then, you name-drop all these players and their stats, but there’s no real focus on anything interesting. Tamin finishes with six points and four assists—great, but what does that even mean in the context of the game? Was his contribution crucial? Did anyone step up in a critical moment? Or were all these stats just numbers filling space?
There’s no flow to the article—just a dry, fact-spitting, tedious read. Also, the mention of future games like “Wednesday, March 12 at 11:30 AM CT” feels oddly shoehorned in there without any build-up or connection to the rest of the article. It’s like you slapped in the date and time because you had to, not because it fits the narrative.
Lastly, could you make the technical foul a little more interesting? Jones had “playful banter” with Dug McDaniel—what does that even mean? This could’ve been a fun moment in the game, but you’re leaving us with a bland sentence that doesn’t add any color or excitement.
In short: if you’re going to recap a game, at least give us some insight, some narrative that makes us care about the players and the outcome. This article barely does that. It's just... meh.
