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

Lipsey also added a missed free throw
Did he make any tonight? The turnovers were the killer and our seniors (Lipsey and Jefferson) were a big part of it. Toure provides little on offense and other than Milan we really have no shooters. How many wide open 3s did Lipsey and Heise miss tonight? My biggest complaint is we run no real action to get Milan open. Free throw shooting is ridiculous.
 
remember when NC State made it after only getting in the tourney as an auto qualifier and an 11 seed? unless you are arizona, michigan, or duke, making a FF is about 75% luck.

I thought last year the gap went to warp speed in how chalk everything was at keast in the first two rounds.

'24 was at least still kind of a 'It's UConn and everyone else' deal.

,2-8 from the line..
Jeff had 6 turnovers

ISU did not hit 60 shots, if ISU does not get over 60 shots in a game they won't win.

TJ was out coached
 
Im still not the world's biggest fan of our bigs trapping at the top of the arc on D either.
On the offensive side, we spend a lot of time with the big who can't shoot, holding the ball 20+ feet from the hoop, waiting for a guard to come for a dribble hand-off. We do it so much I assume it's intentional but it just seems weird to me to have a guy spend so much time with the ball so far away from where they're any threat to score.
 
TCU closed out 12-0 after we led 55-50 at 2:38. We had 4 turnovers in last 3 minutes.

That and the offense was in a funk all game. Only 55 points when we average over 80.

I don’t know how a division 1 basketball team can miss 6 straight free throws
Did you see Purdue tonight?
They were up 12 with less than 3 minutes togo tonight. The had guys who were over 80% miss free throw after free throw.

Huskers tied it
