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

If it makes you all feel any worse, BYU is getting worked again at West Virginia.

Yea I’m upset. I do think it is shocking that they are still able to post on this website. They will be jolly tonight that’s for sure.

It softened the blow of his team losing to god awful Penn State at the very least.

That’s what happens when your offense sucks, we have kept starting slow too and that’s a recipe for disaster

Disappointing game. Maybe there was stank leftover from the women's game against OSU.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

My biggest issue with TJ is he refuses to just settle into a basic man to man defense. When you are getting burnt by shooters you can’t keep trying to trap, trap, and trap. It’s so f*cking frustrating.

 

[Cloned4Life]

Ya'll are a bunch of immature a$$holes when things go bad. With this being a loss, our team is 23-4. Good grief.

You have spent the entire game thread dumbing posts and yelling at other fans for not being so righteously "positive" or whatever you call what you are doing. For your own health, why even come here? Clearly the team playing like sh*t - that is a bummer. Of course fans are gonna b*tch. What better place on planet Earth to do that than here in a gamethread?

People are assh*les for posting frustrations in a game thread!? Seriously? What should fans type in these game threads when 'things go bad'? What's the righteous/good-fan message supposed to be? Are there any critiques or criticisms or negative-leaning opinions at all that are acceptable?

Time for you geriatrics to have your glass of milk and saltines and tune back in to matlock.

 

[fsanford]

Disagree, that team was better and deeper

That team was one of the worst adjust offenses in all of hoops. It was horrible

4 guys averaged over 30 minutes a game..
Was not deep at all, but they did rebound and play defense. Only way they could win.

I've got your back, @cyfanbr. It's sickening.....99% of us sing "loyal sons forever true" and the person you talk about would spit on our floor.

I love Lipsey but his inability to hit any sort of jump shot and Toure having zero offensive game is not great either

Everyone says great guard play carries teams deep in the tournament. This team doesn’t have great guard play. Lipsey and Toure are huge liabilities on offense.

 

[cycloneworld]

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.

Cause for concern, sure. To say TJ sucks as a coach is moronic.

 

[IcSyU]

Yeah, their coaching staff was hitting a ton of 3's

"When they trap get the ball to the top of the key and we will get whatever shot we want from there."

 

[sdclone]

I still believe Bateman needs to start over Toure. Toure isn’t a threat to score and Batemon has improved a lot defensively.

 

[CysEyesVet]

another “what could have been” season. just pathetic all around.

 

[BigLame]

I hate to say it but you might be right. Look no further to letting them go on a 15-2 run before finally calling a timeout.

Meanwhile a couple minutes later we went on a 4-0 run and they called a TO right away. And that ended our run, they started another one right away.

Use of TOs has been a constant challenge for hoops & football & it drives me bonkos

 

[Kettes]

Simply out coached. Play and simple.

 

[BlitzkriegCy]

You are not going to win shooting < 40% from the field. Unless, you are an Elite bball team and ball hawking furiously… particularly beyond the perimeter @ the 3 pt line. We won the TO battle, but lost production while doing so. You have to convert.

Murder She Wrote is on at 6:00 bud.

"When they trap get the ball to the top of the key and we will get whatever shot we want from there."

That happened the entire first half. We upped the intensity after that.

 

[cycloneworld]

Just got outcoached today, by a lot

McCausland’s game plan of not allowing Milan or Batemon to shoot was excellent. Our reluctance to change our over aggressive doubles which left their shooters wide open for 30 minutes of the game cooked us.

Our game plan and whatever minimal adjustments we made was trash today.
