*** Official West Virginia vs #3 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

That’s such a terrible jump ball call

Kip Kissinger has to keep his streak alive of questionable officiating

WVU's getting sped up, and Batemon is taking over.
Some of y'all must live off the drama and worry.

I shot around one day and hit a few threes.

Did again a few days later and didn't hit as well.

I just started shouting 'WTF is going on!!!!?' in disbelief at this wizardry.

 

[CycloneSpinning]

We look terrible.

I think they are an elite ranked defense, aren’t they? There’s bound to be an adjustment to that.

 

[Erik4Cy]

Don't need Batman or Bateman.

Just need Batemon.

 

[KCyclone2010]

Not sure why a freshman has to show the seniors how to play basketball tonight, but I’m glad we have one who can

 

[NY Chicago Fan]

Guess glad he's not afraid to shoot. Coming off bench on fire

 

[isucyfan]

We’ve definitely hit our ceiling early again and hit a wall. They will still be good but definitely not winning the conference. Ceiling maybe elite 8

Well, there's an overreaction.

Batemon is hungry. I like.

They're #47 on kenpom, decent but nothing special.

 

[HFCS]

A legit 3&D guy like Batemon can become would be so huge.

 

[cyclones500]

Needed someone to do “something” and Batemon did. Hopefully it turns the tone. Defensive intensity has been steady, although some rotation lapses.

I was shooting baskets with our starting SG back in high school. For a while, we were dead even, then reality, talent, and averages took over. It's just part of the deal.

Winter break no student crowds suck so bad.

Bro, we’re 8 minutes into the fist conference game of the season. Take a walk at half and relax my fellow fan.

 

[madguy30]

Heise had a great 2nd half last year, but it hasn't carried over. Batemon should play more, better athlete and more upside shooting.

Yeah I'm just gonna have to let this go...you're not watching what Heise does outside the scoring and that's a you problem. ISU isn't deep enough to just punish players.

Expecting things to 'carry over' automatically is just really stupid.

 

[rosshm16]

Our "no-middle" defense is sure giving up a lot in the middle lately.

 

[CYDJ]

Heise has his moments too. he has already tipped or retained the ball on the offensive end on two possessions in the last 2 monutes. He also plays more centered D than Batemon. We should let Otz figure out how to use them both. No need to delete a good player from the team because you can't see what they do for the team.

Damn!!!
