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

[ISUCY23]

These guys will battle. Just don’t know how good they’ll be.

 

[jcisuclones]

Not a good sports day so far.. hopefully Wisconsin can close it out, and our boys can play well tonight!

 

[CloneFan4]

Losing to Oregon State. My god this is going to be a long season

 

[CloneGuy8]

Ended up missing the end because of the Pac 12 networks garbage site.

Frustrating loss, but not surprising. Guys still learning how to play together; made a nice effort to come back and take the lead, but too many mistakes down the stretch. Clean that up, and we might end up being a good team

Very long way to go. Hope they can improve, but the non conference schedule is going to make it difficult

Since when does the defensive player get the courtesy of a dead ball when his shoe falls off?

 

[tim_redd]

Showed some heart, got a few lessons to learn yet.

 

[Rabbuk]

Did people actually expect to win this game?

 

[Snyder21]

Why Zion never got the chance to guard Tinkle is beyond me. He seems like the no-brainer matchup.

 

[isucyfan]

Maybe I am in the minority here, but I don't think this is a bad loss. We are still figuring roles out, and I think this helped us do that. Nixon needs to become more of a defensive stopper and less of an offensive guy. Haliburton needs to hunt his shot more. Conditt needs to be our rim runner and protector. These things are fixable and discoverable.

Well damn.

seemed odd, I thought they called the foul at first.

 

[helechopper]

I don’t trust this team to score, they gotta figure out what their identity is gonna be before really moving forward.

 

[Malone]

Happy with the effort. But there were multiple correctable things that our coach was late to correct or didn’t correct at all. Nixon needed to be the one guarding Tinkle and it took a half to figure that out. Conditt was very good and for some reason sat for an ineffectual Young. Young given a crack at shooting at a critical juncture when a play needs to be in there for somebody who is not Solo.

Frustrating but more of the same for lacking in-game adjustments.

 

[ChickenNuggetMan]

I’m amazed and slightly pleased we were even able to make that a game. If this team can play like they did in a few spurts tonight, they can be alright.

Also those announcers were the worst.

 

[cygrads]

Have not read whole thread - where is OSU suppose to finish in the PAC12?

 

[SpokaneCY]

Losing to Oregon State. My god this is going to be a long season

2 games really IS a significant enough sample size to close the book on this season. At least you're free now during our games to do other things.

Everybody go cancel your free trials before you forget.

a true road loss is almost never a bad loss

around the same time they also get courtesy two charge calls on obvious flop
