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

[rosshm16]

He stepped over the line on that free throw. But nothing. Just giving TCU this game.

It's at least the third time he's done that with no call.

 

[fsanford]

Most frustrating game I’ve watched in a long time

Cincinnati was just as bad..mirror images of each other

 

[ruxCYtable]

How does a coach as intense as TJ have multiple games each year where the team does not bother to show up? Just a pathetic ******* effort. Maybe 1-2 guys you could even say are playing hard.

And how do our bigs get absolutely dominated by the SECOND SHORTEST TEAM IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL?

Absolutely ******* embarrassing effort.

 

[Istater4life]

Got to get back to moving the ball around. Way too much one on one hero ball.

 

[Thomasrickj]

This team is so weak sometimes and it’s frustrating.

 

[IcSyU]

Tamin pisses his pants as soon as he gets to half court and there's a defender not letting him get downhill to start the offense.

 

[awd4cy]

I could actually see us losing 4 straight here.
Tcu Ku Houston and at byu.. maybe split the Ku/houston

Yep, it’s coming

 

[Wally86]

Can't just chalk it up to that, they're getting outhustled and out toughed. That just can't happen

Don’t forget out hacked

 

[HoustonClone]

Shooting foul? I assume not based on how this has gone.

No way. They would not give us that.

 

[NYCYFan]

I think part of the issue is that there's no alpha personalities, like a Keshon Gilbert for instance, to pull this thing out of the fire when things get tough. I think Toure has some of that but he's too young, the other guys are too "nice" IMO. Lipsey is tough but he's another laid back type of personality. Need more dawg in some of these guys.

Refs haven't been great but game should be in a spot where they shouldn't be able to impact that the game.

Maybe if you didn’t turn it over you would get more fouls. They did miss the one on Jefferson about 5 minutes ago

 

[Erik4Cy]

Refs haven't been great but game should be in a spot where they shouldn't be able to impact that the game.

Yep, ISU let the refs take control. Gotta be crisp and aggressive. We have been weak and discombobulated.

Still have 8 mins to change the outcome, but deserve to lose at this point.

 

[cloneclone]

Has a single player for us even been decent today?

 

[Jeffreyisu]

I mean refs aren’t responsible for these sloppy ass turnovers, we just suck miserably tonight

When our players are being tripped and slapped on the hands and arms, resulting in the turnovers, yes, they kind of are.

 

[Pizzapitter]

When was the last time Milan had a shot?

 

[cyclonedave25]

time to make a run.

Hard to make a run when we turn it over before getting a shot off.

 

[GoSTATE71]

you really shouldn’t lose this game, TCU isn’t that good. They’re just barely on the bubble but clearly taking advantage of us. We might be the least intimidating top 10 ever, not sure more top 10 teams lose to crap unranked teams then we do haha

 

[Big_Sill]

TCU doesn’t respect our guards ability to dribble penetrate. Intense ball pressure with little concern it will hurt them.

 

[fsanford]

This is worse then Cincinnati.

It's the same, shot totals, turnovers, beaten on the boards, it's a carbon copy

 

[CyGuy5]

Maybe after two years of the softest bigs I’ve ever seen, this staff will realize they need to go get someone who isn’t afraid to bully guys down low
