**** WBB: Gamethread - Cyclones host Baylor - 2 pm Sunday ESPN ****

[CY88CE11]

Pretty rough 2Q. I think refs started to listen to fake Mulkey.

 

[OldCurmudgeon]

She has to hit those wide open shots. It's definitely affecting her confidence, can't let that happen.

I think, ever since she had that hard fall in the 1st Q, it's affecting her shot.

 

[acoustimac]

Brown is a non factor. She’s in a back brace. You can tell it’s impacted her big time

 

[AlCyJim]

I swear that number 7 is a guy. Just from a muscular / skeletal standpoint. Moves like a guy, looks like a guy.

just what I was thinking. although as ISU fans we should be used to baylor bringing in players like that.

 

[ZorkClone]

Addy having another off day and they are letting Jada have everything cause she’s not hitting them.

 

[Run Faster]

Baylor got a dude….7?

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

That last shot was dumb

The possession before was worse.

 

[MR82]

You miss every shot you don't take-but you can drive and let Audi screen/shield. Let Addy drive the lane.

 

[acoustimac]

Baylor has us figured out and with Brown hurt we are in trouble.

 

[bozclone]

We need to make adjustments at the half. Let’s see if we do or if we just do more of the same.

Bill used to be really good at this, but in recent years not as much.

 

[CySmurf]

Their plan to just leave Jada open is working.

She sure is a high volume misser right now...and it's killing us.

 

[OldCurmudgeon]

Baylor got a dude….7?

Sure as heck looks like it.

 

[acoustimac]

Two factors right now - Baylor on the offensive boards and Brown being hurt.

 

[not-the-manager]

I agree with others that it should be a Brown-Crooks two-“man” game, or Jackson should handle the ball. If Williams hits two of those warmup shots you’re up four right now and feel pretty good. The offense isn’t stagnant, she just can’t hit wide open shots, and you’re going to lose if she keeps missing

 

[acoustimac]

NOTE for those wanting a Brown Crooks game. Brown is hurt and wearing a back brace. She’s somewhat neutered right now.

 

[SolarGarlic]

Pretty rough 2Q. I think refs started to listen to fake Mulkey.

Not really. We just wasted too many possessions with Williams missing from 3 and never adjusted.

Not a rough 2Q? Or the refs didn't allow us to get hip checked constantly and called touch fouls on us at the other end?

I don't think the coach got to the refs. We just missed wide open shots instead of getting easy twos from Audi.

 

[acoustimac]

Our offense is a mess with zero motion, screens etc. when you depend on Crooks and she’s double teamed the guards have to step up and they haven’t.

You don’t need motion or screens when the nearest defender to the ball handler is eight feet away. You just have to be a half competent shooter
