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

[alexssdean12]

Jefferson collecting fouls is not helping when he is not hitting FTs. Get the ball back out and quit trying to back down bigger taller guys while the little guys take the abll away OR you simply hand it over to whomever is around. It is so bad it almost looks intentional.

He's gotten in a habit of trying to get HIS stats up. It was the same feeling watching Rasir Boton

We are a better team when Jefferson isn't the focal point and we play team basketball

Jefferson keeps drawing fouls only to miss the free throws lol

I mean, he's 8/10. That's not the problem.

 

[Lineup]

20 turnovers 20 points ******* idiots

 

[cyclonestunners]

Dude shut the hell up

Oh right...its only ok to bash the team, and not stay level headed. Got it.

 

[cyatheart]

Cincinnati has taken 20 more shots than we have

Time to go clear the inch of snow off my driveway.

We've been scammed again, I was at the K-State game last year and thought I witnessed the worst effort, well this is a whole new level.

Im recalibrating to 9-9 after this week if we're lucky.

That might be lofty. We’re usually good for 1-2 losses at home in the Big 12. This team might be 2-3.

I don’t understand why we never adjust and just play some straight up man. What we are doing defensively is way too predictable.

Premature doubles, switching a big onto a guard when there's not even a screen causes us so many problems.

 

[HFCS]

Both basketball teams are in free fall... I need Florida vacation to avoid depression

Watch the two ISU NFL teams starting tonight and if they lose “oh well not really my team”.

It is going to take a lot of luck, when you give very little effort

 

[Tpups21]

This isn't exactly surprising. Happens every year under TJ.

 

[SoleCyclone]

Hey, their GPAs are good.

Yeah, interesting when that monolog came out the team started slumping after. Almost like he knew it was going to happen

Purdue game is starting to look like a fluke. Top 25 team for sure but not close to being a NCAA title contender.

I don't think Purdue is really that good and I don't know why people saw that as a standard of some sort.

Yup. All Cincinnati has to do is set a screen, we double and they can swing the ball over for a wide open 3

 

[CY88CE11]

Why is he shooting free throws?

 

[MeowingCows]

We've given up 62 points (and counting) off turnovers since conference play started.

 

[bosco]

This is the same team every year. Doesn't matter who is on it.

 

[CYDJ]

WE can still win this but we have to coimpletely pull our heads out of our ass!

 

[CyGuy5]

Holy crap Buchanan it’s a layup dude

 

[madguy30]

Who gives a **** the exact dates. Last year we got to witness an absolute **** stomping by a terrible KSU team in January and we weren't competitive in Lawrence either, so dont act like we are ao good in January.

Well two years ago they lost over Feast Week so let's put November on there too and say it happens every year.

TJ only cares about December!!!

All of our conference opponents run better actual offenses than we do. Our scheme is to force the ball and people at the rim and hope it works on talent. Other teams, including this one, move and pass around to create looks. We consistently don't.

It's about time to throw the book away and start over on offense. All those previous games hoisting 100+ on bottom-50 teams in D1 don't matter. We aren't recreating that when it matters.

I don't know about that, but our offense is nothing deliberate designed to attack an opponent's weaknesses.
