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

[ChickenNuggetMan]

This has happened EVERY SINGLE YEAR under TJ. We fall apart in Jan/Feb.

If this team isn’t any different that’s just what we’re going to get at this point.

 

[Erik4Cy]

We gonna change anything/make any adjustments or just nah?

 

[cyclonestunners]

Welp this team is not as good as we initially thought time to adjust expectations. That's too bad

Nothing like 9verreacting to two games.

 

[awd4cy]

Next up, UCF at home. Won’t be easy for us.

I'm so sick of the double team philosophy on defense and not making adjustments when it's clearly not working. Every. Year.

 

[CyGuy5]

I wouldn’t say we suck. Just not as elite as we figured. Likely going to still be a 4-5 seed.

The Iowa State way. Get everyone’s expectations up, randomly suck midway through conference play. Win the conference tournament, get everyone’s hopes up again, and then crash out in the sweet 16.

I am old and lack height, but I think I could hit some of these 3's

Dude shut the hell up

 

[Cycsk]

I always think of opposing team leads as opportunities to make our victory even more painful for them. Let's GOOOOO.

 

[GoSTATE71]

Just like last year, we can’t handle having expectations. The funniest thing though is just how soft this team is, I’ve never seen a team just lose the ball so easily like they dk

 

[Old87]

What has happened to this team’s intensity? Did they peak too early and are experiencing burn out?

 

[Tpups21]

We gonna change anything/make any adjustments or just nah?

Just not guard them and hope for misses.

 

[ISUTex]

Those are the shots we want them taking, they’re just making them all

Maybe ISU should adjust and stop double teaming everything the way Beyonce air humps an entire stadium crowd during a concert. Might throw Cinnci off.

 

[clone1990]

TJ is an incredible coach but he always has a 4-5 game slide mid season every year

That seems to be the trend with an injury or two and FT trouble.

 

[NYCYFan]

3 points from the bench isn't gonna cut it

 

[Drew0311]

This is exactly like last season. Why are our teams blowing their load so early in the season

 

[madguy30]

Yes. Because praying teams miss wide open 3s won’t fly in Big 12 play.

So then you'd see them get killed inside and give up open 3s.

 

[xr4ticlone]

Who are these ******* guys?

This isn’t close to the same team.

 

[Run Faster]

WTF!
