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

[NoCreativity]

This week was bottom of the barrel of the TJ era so far. Just completey non-competitive.

The scary part is we donr have the Milan injury excuse, this is completely out of the blue for no good reason.

But everytime I bump the Nate Schmidt thread I get crucified

Yep and I agreed with you on it and got so many dumb votes. Basically we smashed a bunch of nobody’s to over rank our offense into the top ten. However, Cinci just shut our offense down minus two guys.

 

[awd4cy]

This is such an absurd statement. You really think we’ll get embarrassed by UCF next week? Come on dude, teams lose on the road. See me in 2 weeks if it’s still this bad.

It’s quite possible honestly.

 

[danvillecyclone]

I keep betting the other teams I. The 1st half.

Knowing we will start slow and hoping we win the games.

At least I’m building a nice bankroll

 

[Jakester]

I don't think I've turned an ISU game off early before. I couldn't make it through the last two. At least I got to the 2nd half today.

 

[deadeyededric]

The defensive x anf o are elite. Green is as good as there is an an assistant. Pretty much ends there in terms of elite.

 

[iseedit]

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's clearly hurting and shouldn't even be playing.

 

[Old87]

What happened to our defense causing turnovers? Is the effort and energy not there? Has Lipsey been slowed down due to injury?

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

ISU needs to figure out the first 10 minutes of a game counts too...

Until they do that they will find Big 12 teams very difficult to beat.

Lipsey and JJ have been absolutely awful to start games. IMO it starts with those two.

I wish I had your superpower. Had to watch all of it.

Cincy isn’t a mediocre team. They're a horrible team.

They are not horrible. They are 58 in kenpom and it's a quad 2 loss.

If Tang and KSU can do it, so can UCF.

 

[CysEyesVet]

Step back off the cliff. Bad loss today, but geez.

The Kansas loss was a trickle. This loss is an avalanche. Mediocrity has returned, my friend.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

if this team supposedly has 5 “NBA players” then I’m a little disappointed

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

Oh but I was told it was all injuries last year.

I don’t think there’s any question that injuries are responsible for the wall we hit last year.

 

[HoustonClone]

Cinci did an remarkable job of passing out of doubles, and their threes went down at an unprecedented rate. Add to that we turned the ball over at an impressive rate, and it's amazing that we were within nine.

 

[atlantacyclone]

Seems like we always lose in steaks … football and basketball. Until today I thought it wasn’t possible this season in bball.

 

[daniel22]

Down 5, the Bearcats had a long extended possession and I think 4 shots at the hoop, of course hitting their last one. We just couldn't get the rebound. On that same possession, Hiese almost got the turnover for us.
And what, 20 points off of turnovers? For the love of God, value the damn basketball!! Jacy Holloway where are you?

Can’t win unless we score off turnovers. We don’t run good offense.

 

[HoustonClone]

The Kansas loss was a trickle. This loss is an avalanche. Mediocrity has returned, my friend.

TWO games. Two crappy games, but TWO games. Let's see how we respond.
