*** Official Texas Vs #20 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[Cynonymous]

Well maybe I struggled passing on tone in my post. This is the first time I have posted in Men's forums this season. However, Taking mins from Haliburton in a close game when 2-3 others aren't getting it done is probably the first gripe I have had with Prohm all year.

I realize that Tyrese only played 24 against WVU but he sat for the last 10 mins of that game cause we were up 20

I don't think it was the fact Halliburton was sitting. We were just cold. The guys who we wanted to attack the basket due to being in the bonus were in the game.

Without Cam Lard we do not win today as he was the only Cyclone that could stop the Texas guards from driving for a layup almost every possession.

This game was good practice for when we need to beat a Big 10 team in the tournament.

Haliburton has to be on the floor and have the ball to be more assertive on Offense. Unless you think he should scream at his team mates to let him run the show (I might agree with this).

Absolutely shocking Tyrese was on the bench in this game for as long as he was in both halves.

Tyrese was on the floor for 26 of the 34 second half points. Not a coincidence. (Edit should've added that this was impressive considering he only played first 5.5 mins and final 5.5 mins of 2nd half) And in the final 5 mins had 2 huge assists and a bucket.

Haliburton needs to be on the floor more because he is our most willing passer and most willing to set up others to score. Without him on the floor we turn into the ISO Kings and the Offense gets stale.

Agreed. No coincidence that Halliburton was on the bench when Texas took the lead. He does the little things that don’t show up on the stat sheet.

C. lard needs to start , Jacobson is weak and plays terrible D

and, some Fanatics are ignorant about the game and post poorly

 

[Blandboy]

What do we want in the TT KU game? I'm thinking TT needs a L more?

can they both lose?

 

[alarson]

There are games that probably go both ways with this, but cant help but feel like this is a game we lose in the prior era.

Winning a game like this does more for this team than winning by 15. We are growing, getting tougher, and this game will serve us well moving forward.

It was nice to see how our guys responded. NWB and Shayok hit a couple big shots.

 

[FinalFourCy]

Great win. There will be a lot of tournament games like this one.

UT has some ability and their unconventional defense can cause issues. Coleman can get into the lane, too.

 

[CycloneErik]

Champions win games like today.
I got no complaints.

Student section is weak af today

Turnout was great today. Students filled to the top. Was nice seeing everyone get really loud in the last 5 min or so. Rest of game was pretty dead. Flow of the game didn’t help.

 

[cyclones500]

A lot of missed bunnies and errant alley-oops (especially in first half). Zone threw a wrench into it. "Smart" move there. ISU hit some huge shots in final minutes and got some key stops on D.

For the love of god just stop. Full to the rafters and having fun.

Hard to win in Lawrence. If everybody in conf. could just beat KU at their place that's 9 losses. Think they have already won in Waco but have lost @ WV, @ISU, @texas.

 

[AuH2O]

Talent rescues a sub par in game coach again.

Sometimes I wonder if our fans even watch the games ot just have zero understanding of the game. Open 3s and layups all game. Just shot like garbage.

Turn up the last 10 minutes of the game. First half was dreadful.

Every run Texas went on was without Cam on the floor.

 

[AuH2O]

Winning games ugly, when you can't hit the broad side of a barn, and have to come back late are great for teams. I love that Shayok and LW struggled and came back with big plays. NWB had some ups and downs but hit some big shots. Lard gave great effort and was big. I really have no complaints. They shared the ball and got layups and open threes. Rebounding was great the first half, not so much in 2nd half. This team has a lot of resolve and they are fun to watch.

 

[CyCloned]

Shayok missed 7 point blank at rim shots...not double taps etc..7 diff shots on 7 diff possessions...that is 14 pts..and it’s not like they were reverses or crazy hard shots...

Idk what to say about that game other than we are fortunate to escape.

I just watched the second half but man Shayok was killing ISU with crazy misses on great opportunities.
