*** Official #2 IOWA STATE vs Kansas Game(Day) Thread ***

[Malone]

Again. Don’t blame TJ here. Blame Coach Schmidt. He draws up the offense. All of it.

Oh I completely agree. And TJ will defer to it and keep singing the praises of hard work, daily habits

Coaching f*cking matters

 

[Big_Sill]

if they come out of half on a 8-0 run that’d be ideal. KU will come back down to earth shooting wise

They won’t come back down because they are getting great looks. Anything they want.

 

[Thomasrickj]

Our assist to turnover ratio is 0.3 and Kansas is 6. Holy crap that’s the biggest discrepancy I’ve ever seen.

 

[Erik4Cy]

I'll have whatever you're smoking please

Oklahoma game? Granted it was in Hilton, but we were actually down more that game (22)

And that deficit was with 14:55 left in 2nd half...ISU ended up winning by 7.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

I want every shot the rest of the game to be a good close range shot for ISU or a kick out to Momcilovic for 3.

The only chance of coming back is Momcilovic legacy 3pt game now. No joke he should attempt 18+ next half

Shots will probably have to be from half court, because the word is out to face defend Milan and let the rest try to win.

 

[isucyfan]

I was going to hold off on gummies tonight because they make me sleepy and forgetful.

Now, I'm taking them because they make me sleepy and forgetful.

 

[bradcyclone]

I feel like next game let Nelson start to have some energy to start the game!

 

[isucy86]

Its ugly. But gotta lose sometime. This game was bound to happen based on recent slow starts against subpar teams. KU has had their struggles but they are talented, athletic and long.

We're not super athletic and guys look afraid to shoot when guarded closely.

 

[cyclo120]

The 2 next to our name was always smoke n mirrors, not because we can’t necessarily beat anyone but because we can also lose to a small chunk of people as well and knew it was coming on the road in conference. Let’s see what happens moving forward, still like this team but games like this expose some flaws to keep up from elite.

 

[simply1]

The trolls are so freaking obvious tonight.

They’ve been waiting over 16 games

 

[CentexCyclone]

Not surprising that KU is playing their best game of the year, they needed it, but ISU panicking on both sides is.

Being humbled and losing the pressure of being undefeated isn't the worst thing for the long term. Definitely due for it.

Agree. If there is a silver lining in this $h!tshow, it's that our guys will get shaken back into reality and learn they need to play a full 40 each game, no more of this sleepwalk-through-the-first-10-minutes crap.

 

[DSM4Cy]

It’s because our offense is our defense. If we aren’t playing good D, we have no half court offense to fall back on.

Worst halves? Eh. Worst halves compared to how it should have gone? I’ll give you that. I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.

 

[KCyclone2010]

Our senior leaders in Tamin and Jefferson might have been the worst players on the floor that half

 

[67CY]

Jefferson played like **** but we didn’t get much out of Lipsey either

 

[Darius Bieber]

Oklahoma game? Granted it was in Hilton, but we were actually down more that game (22)

You can't really compare that offense to whatever offense we have now. Oklahoma at home is not Kansas at the phog

 

[madguy30]

Injuries cannot be blamed for that slump after Arizona. We got completely embarrassed at home by a horrible KSU team then went to the Phog and basically looked like we do tonight.

Yeah ISU was bad but KSU for about two weeks was metrically a top 5ish team and went on a mini-run.

The only people folding are CFers that apparently don't watch other basketball games.

 

[Prone2Clone]

I’m rethinking wanting the Wii golf tournament or whatever the **** that was on before tip to be over so badly.

 

[Goclones1727]

A constant under TJ is when we start to struggle, we IMMEDIATELY start running iso ball. It’s seriously insane. How has this not been coached out by now or how is someone like Tamin letting this consistently happen?

I rarely saw an actual set, play, or scheme. There should not be an immediate green light for the first person with the ball, we aren’t good enough. Run a few actions before a shot goes up. Pee wee ****.

 

[GoSTATE71]

How did TJ not have these guys ready though, generally crazy how bad that half was.

 

[Thomasrickj]

This 2nd half will tell me a lot. If we make a solid comeback and make it interesting, ok. If they look and play like that first half again? I truly think the wheels may come off moving forward. It’s too much a trend with TJs teams

Happened on January 16th last year. We are right in the same range of time this year for our season to go to hell.
