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

[fsanford]

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

ISU offense is very dependent on turnovers.
That is the problem

 

[Raiders70]

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

So we should play with the same aggression since they are letting them play. Letting them play should be a good thing for this club.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

Hard to be open when you’re waiting for Jefferson to turn it over.

 

[Cyched]

Basketball is dumb

 

[Erik4Cy]

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

We're playing a lot closer to a 10-8 Big XII team than a 15-3 one, I can tell you that.

(I've felt like 15-3 would need to be the minimum to have a shot at winning the conference.)

 

[Darius Bieber]

Jefferson bailed out on that call, otherwise another TO

 

[CY88CE11]

Lol. Defender is at about 45 degrees, and secondary raked the arm. two fouls on that one, guys.

 

[Old87]

DraftKings gotta be loving the Cyclones lately. We need to get back to playing Cyclone basketball. Tough defense and no turnovers.

 

[Joseph Hathaway]

Jefferson can’t finish at the rim recently

I think I saw your hoks are playing.

 

[Bob f]

Let's go Nelson

 

[ISUTex]

Not a bad thing if Jefferson sits here for a few minutes. Turning into a ball hog turnover machine. ISU has other weapons.

 

[67CY]

It wouldn’t be so bad if the team leaders looked like they gave a ****

 

[xr4ticlone]

Jefferson is ass

 

[twincyties]

Need this to stay around 6-8 at half or better.

They can't keep up this 3 point shooting and that will even out. But they have only 1 TO which is incredible.

 

[cycloneworld]

Jefferson is a black hole that shoots 30% from the field and averages 5 turnovers per game. So sure, let’s iso ball him 2 out of every 3 times down the court.

This offensive game plan sucks.

 

[ISU_Guy]

Another observation. We have 10-15ft pull up jumpers open but we are determined to take a contested 2 footer with 3 guys on us

 

[CYDJ]

Jefferson can’t finish at the rim recently

He is simply moving into his guy and trying to go over them lately. That is usually harder than finding SOME kind of advantage and exploit it.

 

[Cyched]

A run before half would be nice

 

[AlCyJim]

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

kinda reminds me of the women and how their offense runs
