*** Official IOWA STATE Vs West Virginia Gameday Thread ***

[Cyclonepride]

Carter has drawn about four or five “senior-benefit-of-the-doubt” fouls.

I would like if the announcer would stop saying short bench and state the facts - ISU is down 3 starters.

Yeah, we've had a short bench all year with all of the injuries. Being down 3 starters is a whole other ball game.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Yeah, I can’t imagine possessing any kind of situational awareness and spending one second of this game complaining. All that can do is reveal your own predisposition.

 

[CycloneErik]

No need to bring it up tonight though.

It's a discussion of the current game. It wasn't a firing manifesto.
Tone down the defensiveness.

 

[isuno1fan]

We'll see. You don't have any idea.

We will see. Exactly.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Jags give Bortles 54 mil, lol

 

[cygrads]

Refs pretty much just call a foul every time WV goes into the paint.

 

[SCarolinaCy]

Can someone with a higher basketball IQ tell me why Lard never touched the ball in the first half? Was WVU trying hard to deny it to him, or do we not know how to feed him? Looked to me like Wigginton and Lewis were trying to do too much off the dribble. I'm getting frustrated in our lack of passing.

We have no offensive coach.

 

[CyCloned]

It would be nice if ISU could throw in 3-4 3s at the end to make it look better.

 

[FerShizzle]

All things considered, I’m pretty proud of the effort tonight. They were dealt a really tough hand and nobody pouted.

And I still contend there's no reason to bring it up tonight. Some people act like we should win a game on the road against a ranked team down 3 starters. I'm going to call people out on that ****.

 

[cygrads]

Lewis getting good experience.

Always fun when the broadcast is bored with the game.

You should practice your reading. No one's calling for a win.
Some of us think you can have plays to run in order to score instead of standing around. That's using the game time productively instead of just riding out the minutes.

We have no offensive coach.

You hate Prohm. We get it. You’re going to look foolish next year.

 

[SCarolinaCy]

So dumb. He's playing on a team down 3 starters and he's obviously hit a freshman wall. You have no idea if he will or won't be a point guard.

He's a shooter, and a good one when he is open and the ball is passed to him.

 

[jaj040]

Lets beat the spread!

? I don't hate Prohm. I just wished we had an asst OF head coach.

And again, when you have players playing outside of their roles against good team, that good team has a way of making sure you can't run the plays.

Did a single person say they gave up?
If everyone stands still, it's not a matter of an opponent taking everything away. It's just a bad offensive plan, which is something that Prohm desperately needs to fix in his own efforts to improve.
