*** Official TCU vs #15 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[madguy30]

Off ball screens for Brockington, post touches, not have your centers high post for near 5 second call on every possession. Try new things to create easy shots You want then to just live and die by the jump shot?

You don't think they've tried several things?

IB is running around all over the place out there trying to get just that. It's hard to get an easy shot if you can't get open.

It's like the 'why don't ISU's receivers get separation?' thing that comes up every fall. It's not scheme.

**** that was bad

 

[CYaeger]

we MUST get better, no excuses.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

I don't love the trend of tj getting out coached by a lot

The only difference between him and Prohm so far is TJ seems able to coach mental toughness and effort a bit better. A wash in all other areas.

 

[helechopper]

So much for turning the corner on the conference schedule…

 

[cyatheart]

If TJ can't change the offensive philosophy of this team they are going to find themselves on the bubble fast. Realize you're not a good jump shooting team and emphasize getting to the rim

you just have to manufacture offense. Tj just wants to shoot 3s from what I can tell after running some weak motion offense. You have to rebound, get to the line and attack the hoop. We do none of that.

Baugh was just unconscious this game, wow! We played well on their main scorer, butr let someone else pick up the slack. Oh well.

Let's regroup and turn this around.

There’s a trend that has begun to rear its head the last couple games. Started against OU and the last couple have been the same. It’s obvious scouting has gotten even better against us and we have been unable to adjust. Losing like that at home is a little concerning hopefully they can right the ship.

 

[mynameisjonas]

Losing like that at home?

 

[atlantacyclone]

11 points in 13+ minutes?

 

[quasistellar]

God bless them, they improved a ton over last year, but we were fooled. This isn’t a very good team in the grand scheme of things. Happy to be better than a two win team but TJ still has a ton of work to do.

honestly I think it’s more that there’s literally no below average teams in the big 12. The worst big 12 team this year would be in the top half of the big 10 imo.

yeah. seems to me we need to turn every single game into an absolute slugfest. basically play like a poor man's tech.

In game, this staff has a long way to go

they have nothing to work with, but they aren't helping them either.

 

[madguy30]

TCU isn't a bad team. But TCU owned ISU the entire game.

We have to adjust our expectations.

Exactly the bolded. 12-0 was fun as hell but this team wasn't choosing to not blow teams out.

I still think they find a way into the NIT or so. They're playing their ass off so hopefully they get rewarded with more basketball.

 

[dahliaclone]

Oof. This game is brutal. We are gonna lose by 15

NAILED IT

 

[bradcyclone]

Have to go on winning streak in February if there is March Madness.

 

[cymac2408]

Open, not open, it don't matter today

You’re right there.

 

[FarminCy]

No words for this current stretch. Just wretched offense and second half efforts.

 

[BCClone]

Watching Brock drive and jacking up 3s is not an efficient offense.

 

[awd4cy]

Prohm has the record for fewest points scored at Hilton at 44. Otz may break that today….

45 against Tennessee. Otz broke it.
