Why do we need a calm down thread?

Because we just lost to the number 8 team on the road and now we are back on the bubble, that's why!

 

[Prone2Clone]

So pleased with how this team has improved since early in the year. Gave #8 all they wanted on their home court. Wish we would have got them in Ames, but oh well. Missouri's guards are good.

Get Baylor!

People do need to calm down. Our defense let us down. Missouri shot almost 55% which is unacceptable out of our defense. The refs weren't very good, but they aren't the "reason" we lost.

I'm not one to usually ***** about officiating, but the refs didn't do much to help us tonight

 

[ItsCyence]

This mainly aimed at the few posters who always over react after losses like this.

It's a Big 12 road game, you can't expect them to help your team.

Who is freaking out? We played a good game against a really good team on the road. We didn't need to win the game, although that is always what we shoot for.

We need to beat Baylor to secure the 3 seed and avoid KSU in the 2nd round of the Big 12 Tourney.

Why do we need a calm down thread?

because some people are on suicide watch after this game...DMICyclone to name one.

 

[cmoore_23]

I would like to see the arms of our players and how many bruises they have..

the team played well just couldnt hit shots when they needed to which turned into quick points for Mizzou.. learn n move on and hope to win Saturday and first game in the tournament to get a chance at redemption

 

[IASTATE4LIFE]

Transition defense let us down tonight. We hustle back....we win.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Not disputing it, but what did Booker do for the technical?

 

[Chizit]

Only thing that made me relatively angry was Royce not getting any looks in the second half. We shot 30-some threes, which is fine, but when Royce is in beast mode like he was you gotta get him the ball.

 

[ISUAgronomist]

Not disputing it, but what did Booker do for the technical?

Yelled "and 1" after feeling that he was fouled on the shot.

 

[clonehenge]

Not disputing it, but what did Booker do for the technical?

Said, "And 1" after he made the basket...

Allen did the exact same thing against KS or OU at home and it didn't get called...

 

[2ndCyCE]

I am calm now. I can get pretty worked up during a game, but I dont let it bother me forever like I did when I was younger.

My dogs weren't particularly fond of my temperament during the game, but my wife actually agreed when I was going off on the refs during the game, and if she thought so, then I KNOW they were terrible!

He didn't even touch the ball for a long stretch in the second half. Gotta get him involved, he owned Ratliffe and the fat guy in the first half.

Which Denmon also did in the second half.

Yep, that and turnovers. We take better care of the ball and we beat the damn tiggers.

This is also my one regret about the game.

Mizzou is really good, they make you pay for missed 3 pointers (run-outs) and turnovers (run-outs). Royce was b-slapping them in the first half and we didn't go to him enough in the 2nd.
