Official Meltdown Thread

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

They played one of their best games, we played one of our worst. Not that surprising of an outcome given that.

If we are being honest, defense is once again a huge problem. TCU even exploited it. We miss shots and we are in big trouble anymore.

When WVU comes to Ames, can we boo the entire game from the get-go? They did for us, I feel we could at least return the favor.

Tonight just wasn't the Cyclones night. Everything went wrong. But hey, even in times of trouble, ISU can still score over 70 points.

I like melt downs. It makes me feel better. cathartic and therapeutic and new age.

I think Fred needs to go into Ellerman mode sooner. Guys play like they are entitled or special or something and skulk around until we are down 15 or 18 points. How many times has this happened this year???? our 5 losses plus about 4 or 6 other times we are damn lucky we came back. We need an plan b to chunk up 3's and hope they go in.

What is there to meltdown about? Iowa State is still a Tourney team.

Meh, after giving WVU 102 points? If I were on the committee, ISU has a lot to prove from here on out.

This isn't a melt down post either. Being and ISU fan as long as I have been, I know ISU has always struggled to win on the road and I didn't really expect a win tonight. 102 points to WVU? That alone really makes me question this team.

If we would have won this game, I would have moved off my 10-8 in conference prediction. Can't do that now. I'm back to 10-8 and thinking we lose @KSU, and 2 of @Baylor, UT, OSU, WVU.

Probably around a 6 seed in the tournament.
