***Iowa State @ Texas Tech Game Thread***

I don't get why we simply allow teams to hold for the final shot. Why not come out and guard them tough and make it difficult to hold the ball, instead of just letting them stand out there and dribble until there are 7 seconds left? We just let them do exactly what they want to do. Drives me crazy.

I am getting sick and tired of the forced shots on O and the laziness on D by certain high profile members of this team.

Losing by 10 to the last place team in the big 12. Changes need to be made.

What an embarrassment....this would be funny to watch if it wasn't so painful. Such a group of talented individuals playing such horrible, horrible basketball as a team. My hats off to Gilstrap for playing like a man and attacking the glass as if he actually wants to get a rebound.

This is far from over, but that last few minutes was ugly.

You guys ready for Kansas?

I'm sure we'll find a way to make it a game for a few moments just to rip out the heart and stomp it on the ground.

This is the VERY LEAST of our issues.

Wanna bet a few seats are empty for that one?:skeptical: If we lose that by 20+, you'd be lucky to see 8K in attendance at any remaining game.

Texas Tech commercials are so low-budget. It's embarassing. They have to keep the words simple for the folks in Lubbock?

Man, Zach Thomas is a natural. :biglaugh:

Brackins should just go get on the bus if he is going to play the 2nd half like he did the 1st half. Grow a set and get your *** in the lane and show me your a man.

 

[2forISU]

This is game is all about heart and we flat out don't have it...right now.

 

[Cyclonepride]

This could easily be a tie ballgame. Hit your freethrows, guard that irritating dude, and work the offense a bit to get open looks.

 

[gwoodclone]

Ugly end to the half...but it's not over yet. Some of you must lead very depressing lives.

 

[HILLCYD]

Let's just say that if my dog looked like the color guy.....it would have a shaved ***.

 

[cyclonestate]

And the Hawkeyes are trailing #7 Michigan State by only 5 with 1:11 to go - ON THE ROAD. It's called playing with heart and effort.

 

[Cyclone06]

I'm serious when I say this, is Brackins hurting this team more than helping right now?

Yes he is. Loose ball in his hands and he can't catch it, it gets taken away. Entry to him on the post, he's standing straight up like a stick and the defender comes around to deflect it away. Has he grabbed a rebound yet? Horrible shot selection, next to nothing on defense. Imo he can't be any worse after the half, so thats a good thing.

 

[streetbutter]

take it. clones - 1 second half.

 

[RayShimley]

Well that was painful to watch. Not sure what the hell is going on because TTU is playing like absolute ****.
