*** Official IOWA STATE VS Oklahoma State Game(Day) Thread ***

[Cyforce]

Sling TV sucks. I was trying their free week, but they dropped the game with 1 minute left. Watched bowl games on it yesterday and it kept buffering, and the picture would bounce back and forth from HD to 1974 quality.

Great to get the win. Lots of things to work on.

Switched from direct to Hulu a couple weeks ago. Pretty happy so far. Reason I chose Hulu was I knew I couldn't handle the sling commercials.

My starting 5 that I want against Kansas:

NWB
Wiggi
Hali
Shayok
Lard

Lard is too foul prone to get starter minutes.

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

People keep referencing that stretch but the second foul was on wigginton.

Sorry - my mistake.

 

[madguy30]

I actually thought lard had a very good vibe tonight

He looked the same as he's looked all year, he's just more comfortable and ISU won.

Question with lard is why is it such a funky roll to the hoop, is he just turning the wrong way, I havent watched it slowed down before to see what he does. He does roll hard though so it always draws attention freeing other guys up but hes got his back turned a split second to long so his teammates cant pass it to him.

Talen has been under the weather. Btw

Prohm just said THT been's sick. So I'll give him a pass on this game.

The first time he had a block and didn’t get whistled for a foul, he kind of stood there in shock waiting for the whistle.
Once him and Wiggy get back into the flow of playing together, those two will be great to watch.

Phrom just said THT been's sick. So I'll give him a pass on this game.

I’m willing to give Jacobson a pass too. It was just 1 bad game is all.

 

[Sigmapolis]

I don't get why everyone is down on NWB. Not flashy or chest pounding but he has a sweet shot and doesn't make many mistakes. Really nice, experienced anchor to let the 'kids' play around.

People who say anything bad about Nick need to have their heads examined. Not everybody can be a volume shooter. He makes the whole team more efficient.

He was 5/8 from the field, 2/4 from three, 3/4 from the line, grabbed 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, scored 15 total, and played better defense than any of the other wings.

Most of our best looks were ones he found for somebody, directly or indirectly.

The guy just does everything well.

Having two guys like that, along with Haliburton, allows the other guys to chuck it.

I think Lindell's return also affected some of his PT

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

Just checked the box score on cyclones.com. Some interesting minutes totals: THT - 15, Lard - 16, Jacobson - 19, Haliburton - 39, Solo - 5

I meant attitude wise.

I meant attitude wise.

So did I.

 

[ISUTex]

In other news.

Uh, that's a good way to, well, die. Glad he seemed to be ok.

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

I believe we only had 3 turnovers in the 2nd half (2 in the last minute of the 1st half).

Of course, Lindell is going to be playing 30+ minutes from here on out, so there’s going to be less minutes for others.

Everything else I agree with except bolded...Halli's getting that part down too it looks like.

Good thing CF wasn't around when Tinsley played. He was a turnover machine compared to what ISU fans have been spoiled with for half a decade now.

 

[CyCloned]

Really because i watched it to the end on sling. No problems.

No, it just disappeared, and I went back to try and find it, and it just wasn't listed.
