*** Official #23 Tennessee vs #6 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[helechopper]

Milan can shoot is back.

 

[Die4Cy]

Down 8 with maybe 4 possessions left with the slow pace TN will continue to dictate.

 

[cycloneworld]

Iowa State’s center has played 28 minutes and has 3 rebounds. I mean seriously how is that even possible

Our two bigs have a combined 4 rebounds.

Toure has 4, Tamin has 4, and Heise has 5.

That’s…bad.

I can't belive jefferson didn't play. So much for being a great teammate. I obviously don't know how he is feeling but I'm pretty sure an old school guy would have played fir his team.

He could have played at 30%, but what good does that do?

 

[clones2005]

So frustrating to watch right now.

Make the next to 7 3 pointers and all will be good! Let's go Clones

 

[GTO]

I know everyone is criticizing Buchanan, but he is literally guarding two bigs on every possession. His guy and the guy behind him cutting to the basket for the lob.

 

[cyclonestunners]

I’ll start it… I think we would’ve won kind of comfortably tonight with a healthy Jefferson. Not sure what sacrifices we need to make to the basketball gods to stop the injury bug, but we better figure it out.

Greatest what if in isu history. I see this more than niangs foot

You may not know how he is feeling but I know you are a dumb ****

 

[JCity]

Its insane our bad freethrow shooting is finding a way to cost us this game with how bad we've been at everything else.

 

[cycloneworld]

Down 8 with maybe 4 possessions left with the slow pace TN will continue to dictate.

With 8 missed FTs this half. Ouch.

 

[flycy]

Why the **** aren't we at least setting screens to try and get him loose? I am so confused by our offensive gameplan. Realize you kind of have one hand tied behind your back without JJ, but you've have 5 days to prepare.

We don't set hard screens for him, he just kind of runs around.

I mean he can barley walk but....

Give me a f-ing break. Watch that ankle roll again.

 

[Erik4Cy]

I'm not even joking that at this point (or should have suggested much earlier) just start granny shots for FTs.

Rick Barry that sh*t. Can't get any worse.

 

[cyphoon]

Have to hit every freethrow from here on out and hope they forget how to lob.

Right on cue, we go 1 of 2

Yeah, very hard without Jefferson

This is a really bad and stupid post.

Check out the film of him yesterday and imagine him running out there.

 

[CycloneSpinning]

You’d think a UFC trained team wouldn’t get beat to every long rebound and loose ball.

Yeah, honestly if you’re outmatched, you’ve gotta be a little nasty. Blake isn’t playing angry/mean.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

That was our shot and just like all night defensive rebounding comes back to kill us.

******* McCollum wouldn't be getting outrebounded by 20

 

[VoiceOfReason]

If we made our second half free throws, it would be tied.
