*** Official #16 Texas Tech vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[fsanford]

They are going to murder us inside. I’m not optimistic.

Tech was 17 of like 23 from 2. So Zona could have a great night for sure.

Seems like the magic number for a team is hitting double digits in 3 pointers, TT has 14 made today, while we have 8. Hitting that many 3 pointers opens it up in the middle, allowing for easy baskets.
We out rebounded them, shot 20 more free throws. Have to give TT credit, they came down and hit shots late in the clock time and time again.

I mean, this is the answer. Our athleticism in the back court isn’t as good as the top teams. Probably really pkk lmk aging above ourselves to get to this point frankly.

We just don’t have enough shooters. Both Lipsey and Toure are terrible jump shooters

that Padilla 5 points swing is looming large now

“TJ not being an actual basketball coach” when a week ago we were a #1 seed, we are ranked #4 and are still a #2 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Losing games suck but we’ve only done it 5 times all year so saying the coach sucks and coaching basketball is an idiotic take.

Yeah and the majority of our losses have come in the last six games. There is definitely cause for concern here. With a loss to Arizona then we are looking at a 3 seed and a team that hasn’t been consistent towards the end of the season. These diarrhea offensive performances happens a lot more than I’d like.

The infuriating thing is we've seen how good this team can be. If the same team that ran Purdue out of their home gym shows up in March, they can make a final 4 run. If this team shows up, we could lose in the round of 32

This was a really experienced team coming into the year. 4 of the top 6 from last year back plus an ACC starter. Came out of the gates fast and other teams closed the gap.

Ugh, if Milan hit that...

This team desperately needs an Hassan Ward

60 shots... don't hit 60, they are 1-5... And the one they did win they had 59 shots.

They made it to a sweet 16 with a more challenged offensive team than this bunch.

Disagree, that team was better and deeper

No excuses

Poor poor effort

Poor Poor Performance

Poor poor game plan

Deserve it.

Mods - checking again. We are all depressed by this game. Can we at least get a little pick me up by getting our clown in chief (@Darius Bieber) a perma ban?

I get you but you are going about this ass backward. Honestly you’re making yourself look worse than Darius.

 

[CYedUp]

wide open... Can't hit

 

[Jacktronic]

Everyone processes disappointment differently, but damn some of you (likely fairly old adults) are wild

 

[KCyclone2010]

Team deserves every bit of this beat down. Don’t know how you can be a division one athlete and put forth that kind of effort

 

[sdclone]

Well at least they made it interesting

it depends on who you match up with. I said a skilled athletic team. Ole Miss was that last year. Tech is like this of course.

Poor coaching. Don't forget that.
