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

[madguy30]

Cincy just looks so much more athletic.

Probably because they are.

Between Toure, Lipsey, Blake, Nelson, Heise, Batemon we need another guy that can go get double digits points. It can't all come from Milan and Jefferson. Who can step up?

2000 team will never be touched I’m afraid. Thought this might be the year

Was at Santa Anita racetrack on Thursday. Saw LE there.

 

[NoCreativity]

Cool but they also almost lost to Iowa the other night and their guards are not as good as advertised.

Either way thinking that was a norm for ISU is an odd choice.

Lol, says the guy who's constantly preaching about how each game is different and "weird" things can happen on any given night. Now they aren't as good becuase they only beat Iowa by 5.

 

[ianoconnor]

Hassel's a POS... isn't Iowa playing? What a d-bag.

I don't disagree he's a troll, but the point stands

Something is seriously wrong. This stat is insane

One (maybe two) and it's anomaly. Four straight is a trend. Eight straight? It's an identity.

 

[Clonefan32]

Maybe we are just getting the late season slide out of the way early…?

 

[CYEATHAWK]

We might get blown out of the building against Arizona, BYU, Texas Tech, Kansas in Hilton........

 

[Cycsk]

I don't enjoy all the posts by those of you who are already accepting the loss. We have days for you to post those comments if we lose. At this point in the game, I'm still hoping for a really awesome comeback.

 

[Dopey]

I love this team. And will after this loss. But we have never had a vocal, animated, aggressive as **** leader. Lipsey and Jefferson are great leaders, but neither of them have ever had the 'take the game over' tenacity. We are for some reason timid and it's concerning as all get out.

I'm on notice that this is the second loss of at least four. Something is way off.

This.

Kane.

Naz.

Niang.

Even Donovan Jackson.

We need one.

 

[awd4cy]

This is around 2023-24 range, but still hasn't played the best teams in Big 12. Sigh.

2023-24 clears this team. Not close.

 

[MeowingCows]

This is a bad basketball team right now.

We've definitely removed ourselves from contender status.

I'm growing accustomed to taking mid-JAN to mid-FEB as off time each season. It's a trend.

2000 team will never be touched I’m afraid. Thought this might be the year

That team was tough as nails. Didn't back down from anyone. This team needs that fire.

 

[cyfanbr]

Tamins defensive effort this game is garbage! Barely even jogging trying to stay with his defensive assignment.

I’d never ever thought I’d type that.

He has to be hurt. I guess the guy is probably always hurt though, which really sucks.

 

[FerShizzle]

this is setting up to an all-timer today. my broncos are going get bounced and then brock is going to be up against it in seattle. needed this one to hit.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Don’t worry, we’ll be told all week how we are overreacting and things are just fine. While we barrel towards another mid-season skid.

Could it get as bad as the women’s teams slide?

 

[cycloneworld]

Cinci is shooting 43% from the field and 31% from 3 and they are boat racing us.

This isn’t some team that got hot.

 

[Lewey24]

I am not enjoying this use of my time. Just rediculous. This double team **** has GOT to stop. Evweryone knows EXACTLUY what to do against it.

I don’t hate the double team, what concerns me is we have no backup plan if it doesn’t work

 

[Drew0311]

Bench has 3 points, 2 rebounds and three turnovers. Like u can’t win games if they are not going to contribute

Trolls with points are still trolls. And Hassel is a infatuated with Iowa State in a weird way.
