*** Official #5 IOWA STATE vs TCU Game(Day) Thread ***

Tcu is bad and has played awful. Offensively we can be really one demential, we'll probably be fine tonight but a little athleticism can really get us out of sync, especially Milan and JJ. It'll eventually be our downfall.
 
I’m happy we aren’t down by ten because it feels like we should be down by about ten with that half. We’ve done some things well at times but we’ve done a lot of not so good things too. Fortunately TCU isn’t really doing anything special either. Clean it up the second half and we still win somewhat comfortably.
 
Always tough when you have a guy that is a great player with a unique skill set like Jefferson but that can get into modes of trying to do too much.

The staff need to get him being a little more intentional with his dribbling. Way less in traffic too.

I mean if it makes anyone feel better, UNC lost to Miami after their big upset and Duke is only up 6 against a putrid Pitt team at half. Illinois also might take a home loss against Wisconsin too, Virginia about lost against a really bad FSU team. Weird night of basketball

They're not bad. Pretty good defense which has gotten ISU covered up on the perimeter.

Been bad lately but over the season they've hung around with good teams and earlier beat some decent ones.

We played at our best when he consistently passed out of a double down low, or just passed to someone else. He's just going for it today.
 
JJ needs to sit more. He’s trying to do too much and he’s not as good as he thinks.

That’s a very bad half even with the lead. The talent difference is significant but we let them hang around. You mess around on the road and let these 3,000 TCU fans get into it anything could happen.
 
I'll write it again: he has 3 TOs. That's not constant.

And 5 assists.
3 TOs is not good. Especially when 2 of them could be so easily avoided by letting someone else handle the ball in transition.

The 5 assists weren't created off the dribble. They were JJ finding the open cutter like he is so good at doing.

Also 7 points and 4 rebounds.
Exactly the game I expected. TCU is playing really hard, ISU not shooting the 3 well, except Milan. I'm ok with where this sits. Make a few adjustments to get Milan shots, handle their pressure better.

we’ve shown we can lose to bad teams.
