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

[Cycsk]

Jefferson with a great, smart play to establish position inbounds before grabbing the bouncing ball.

If we lose this game I’m gonna start having serious concerns about this team surviving the big 12

Maybe too soon to say but there is a disturbing trend emerging with TJ’s teams in recent years.

Some people on here say we don’t start as slow as it seems.

Well, it seems we are starting slow again.

The start wasn't bad. Once things have settled in they've been a mess everwhere.

 

[Darius Bieber]

Top 5 defense, lol

Cincy living up to their top 10 defense though

 

[Die4Cy]

Ball movement for ISU looked a little better that last trip

 

[Cyched]

Clean block. Cincy fans forgot ball after years of Wes Miller.

 

[GoSTATE71]

So basically keep Milan locked up and we’re pretty worthless offensively. Also it’s insane how many good shots teams get against us

Brenden Haywood is a big Bearcat fan it appears.

Hard not to be a fan of the team that is playing WAY harder and smarter.

 

[AlCyJim]

Come on. How do you not call any fouls with all that contact with the ball handler (Tamin)?

but if the clones touch the bearcats these announcers are all over the rough play and no call.

 

[ISU_Guy]

what really bothers me is that we never have anyone open on offense.

Disturbing trend of winning a bunch if games with no NBA players?

If Cincy is going to pressure the ball Iowa state needs to screen and pass. Over dribbling isn’t going to work.

And, shockingly, the offense actually looked better than a high school team. Now do it more

 

[NorthCyd]

This team has completely lost its swagger and this does not seem like a good situation to get it back.

1.......

 

[cycloneretro]

Team is missing their Hason Ward

Last season it took him being out injured for our offense to be completely derailed. This year you can seemingly just faceguard him and accomplish the same thing.

Hard to be open when you’re waiting for Jefferson to do something.

Moving screens everywhere

At the same time that Cinci finds it.

Never a good combo.
