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

Ok, Reset the expectations all.

New gosl is to try and finish top 4 of the league. Winning the b12is not happening.

Realistically I think this team finishes in 6th and is a 3 or 4 seed in tourney

Can’t have many losses like this though. This one will hurt the resume for sure

Buchanan is an absolute disaster at everything. I can't believe how far he's fallen in the last 2 weeks since conference play started.

KU and now Cincy move the ball quickly. Guys like Buchanan can’t keep up. Our entire team is so distracted trying to run and they’re missing the game.

This ******* Carli Lloyd Matt Leinart commercial every break.

Buchanans hands have turned to stone in conference play

Remember the “Buchanan is better than Oscar Cluff” takes?

Nothing like 9verreacting to two games.

I think we overreacted to one game, the Purdue one. Other than that, this team has been pedestrian.

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.

Just like Campbell in September, it is what it is, don't let it frustrate you too much.

The scout is easy on isu, do the same thing on both sides, and it rarely changes.

 

[ISUTex]

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

a little. happens every year.

 

[ISUKyro]

Out of gas?

 

[iastatefan1]

Jefferson can't make a layup no defense

 

[Istater4life]

We're going to be fine. Just stop doubling ****** players.

 

[ISUTex]

great box out.

 

[Tpups21]

No sense of urgency on the defensive end.

 

[JP4CY]

We are so damn sloppy

 

[Die4Cy]

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

We pay most of those teams to lose to us.

 

[NorthCyd]

Teams have the defense figured out. Time to mix it up.

It's been there all year but the big win at Purdue was makeup. We can still be good but it's not as high as we wanted. To be fair before the season started it was more realistic. The hot start overinflated everyone's expectations.

He does nothing good right now. Not scoring, not making FT's, not rebounding, soft hands....

Now, now, the narrative was Feb/March (not true) but 'looked like a FF team' in January.

It's not only inaccurate but just kind of stupid to keep looking for things to melt down about.

 

[CYDJ]

Jefferson did a shiot job on covering his man that last time down the court. Just looking disinterested.
