*** Official Tennessee State vs #6 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[interrobang]

Didn't switch to black jerseys at half at least. So must not have been a funeral at halftime

Did anyone catch the radio halftime interview? I only caught the part where Kyle Green said JJ won’t return for the game, but missed any other info.

 

[interrobang]

Only other option is to play Buchanan and Pleta at the same time. That's probably not a great recipe for success.

Can't risk both getting into foul trouble

 

[GTO]

Agree.... which can work... but rebounding can become a big issue.

Yep. He is our best rebounder by a mile.

 

[dafarmer]

I hope JJ does a Willis Reed and limps out, drops a 3 and fires up the rest of the team!

Probably would have been nice if Santa Clara fouled at the end of the game

Man I thought I was the most negative dude on here, but reading some of the comments on here, I would hate if some of you people were my teammates. Some of you are already defeated. JJ will be fine and we will match on to te final 4. Just watch.

LOL.

The thought of a 35 - 55 year old male acting the same way online typing on an anonymous message board as a passionate fan of a college sports team - in the same way he would act as a 21 year old college basketball player - cracking me up.

I'm gonna say proudly - if it meant that I got to step on the court at Hilton and wear that Cyclone jersey, I would be proud to play with any damn one of you.

This would never happen anyway. They would play Mulder before playing these 2 at the same time.

Then they would have to play basically the whole game with no subs. I would expect to Moulder to get some spot minutes here in the second half.

Yep. It would have been much preferred for them to foul, correctly.

Jefferson can have my ankle

He didnt say anything more than that. Lets be honest, barring a miraculous healing he is out for the tourney.

 

[Clonefan32]

I think we can still score. Rebounding against a good team terrifies me

 

[Cyched]

Buchanan has to be better than this without JJ. Woof.

 

[Texbudman]

They aren't better without him. Just think they can still find other ways to win.

The players attitude will be next man up. Athletes don’t dwell on what they can’t control. They won’t have the “woe is me” mentality that many posters on here have. Does it suck? Yes but this team still has enough to make a deep run

a guy can't have a meltdown after his squads MVP goes down anymore?

 

[jdoggivjc]

so how did that volleyball spike block work out for ya? gave us an easy offensive board and second chance points

My biggest concern is the rebounding and not the scoring.

Well no **** they aren’t gonna roll over. That doesn’t have Jack **** to do with us being much more limited now.
