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

[BigLame]

They kept up the pressure & we finally blinked & haven't recovered since. Lacked the mental AND physical toughness tonight, including from the bench. See if we can salvage it, but they've imposed their will far more than we have.

 

[CYedUp]

Just way too much solo ball from everyone tonight...

 

[Cymark86]

Just no fight at all. Tcu playing way harder and nobody cares.

This here. We have an old team that just looks like they don’t care. Went into the homerun trot when up 9 and it’s been a disaster since then.

 

[Goclones1727]

How are we not prepared to play a defense similar to our own?

 

[flycy]

The lack of any calls on TCU for the arm hacks has been a lot of this.

 

[CycloneVet]

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.

The same Keshon that quit on his team?

 

[Cydewayz]

Well...will Tamin save us?

 

[ABECyguy]

We’re making this TCU defense look like Wemby.

About everything that could have gone wrong for far, has. That’s directly on the staff.

Agree. Lack of adjustments is unforgiveable. We have to stop their runs sooner

 

[FerShizzle]

you guys are all going to look really silly when ISU pulls this out.

 

[cycloneretro]

settle down have some damn poise

 

[GoSTATE71]

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.

Our bigs are baby soft and pleta still has weak hands as a freshman. Buchanan just isn’t good for how big he is

 

[daniel22]

What is this offense. So much standing around and terrible spacing. The half court offense is brutal.

When they can’t score off turnovers they struggle in the half court. The ball isn’t swinging and lack of post touches

 

[CycloneJoe6]

You would you think that almost collapse against Baylor would've got their heads straight for this game. Guess not

 

[CysEyesVet]

Just pure embarrassment all around. Having a bad game against Kansas on the road is one thing, but at Cincinnati and TCU is pathetic.

 

[AlCyJim]

The refs literally REFUSE to call a foul on TCU right now

7-2 in fouls ISU in the lead

 

[CYEATHAWK]

All those mad need to remember it is February. Old habits die hard.

 

[FerShizzle]

just a montage of fouls

I would not call Keshon an alpha personality.

 

[Jeffreyisu]

MOMMY!!!!!

 

[clonedude]

We are more likely to finish the last 10 games of this season 2-8 then we are 8-2. Obviously it will probably fall somewhere in between there.
