*** Official St. John's vs #23 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Unimpressed With the fan or the ref?

Seems weird to threaten to kick fans out unless they are really going after players and saying inappropriate things. Sounds like these refs had fragile egos

The refs. They mentioned the ref who did it by name and said, paraphrasing, that he was kind of known for being thin skinned.

I suspect the rotation is about to shorten. Eight guys is all you really need in Big 12 play.

Lipsey
Grill
Holmes
Kunc
Osunniyi

Kalscheur
T. King
Jones

Not trying to trash Ward and Watson's play there. Ward has shown flashes of being super disruptive on defense, and Watson seems to playing better by the week. But Tre King would play the same position as both of them and, for what we're told, he's one of the better players on the roster right now.

I think those are the eight that will go to war.

We are going to need ward in games he gives us quality minutes can’t afford to let him sit out much

I don't think those two are going to self-immolate

Brainiac!

The radio call overheard him yell Soriano isn't a good basketball player, but a good baseball player.

Haha! Do you remember about the time in the game? That might be worth going back and listening for it! LOL! Funny.

Well, that came right out of left field.

Out of 2nd base, I believe.

My highlight of the day was watching our bench totally erupt when Jaz dove to tip the out of bounds ball off of St Johns. That was very arousing, if you know what I mean.

I rewatched the game and it almost looks like when he lands on the table he crosses his legs and poses a bit. I lol'd at the thought that. It's hard to tell because the hoop is in the way, but still awesome. I love Jaz.

Also, maybe someone's already said it, but a huge development to me is that Grill has found his shot in Hilton. Before he seemed to always go off on the road, but could shoot us out of games in Hilton. This year he seems to be finding his way at home. Not sure if the pressure or idea of wanting to please the home crowd got to him a bit, but he definitely seems more comfortable with it now.

Weatherwax was also the victim of a bad camera angle going viral that made it look like he was a lot more in Self's face than he actually was (other angles showed more distance).

Wait, you guys know that guy? What's the story behind that? Just tired of seeing us getting shafted by Self for years?

Not with the Cubs, man.

Hilton feasts on fragile egos.

You are prolly right (or left, or 3rd?). I'm just remembering him with the Yanks.

I will not comment on this. Don't want to jinx! Ha.

The Cubs have a team?

It was unsportsmanlike by KU and Self is not the ‘oh,shucks’ guy he likes to portray. FBI needs to finish with him.

My favorite part of the game was the 3 times there was a block/charge call and then the refs just stand around looking at each other for 10 seconds. They just can’t help themselves from blowing everything in sight.

Don't forget while the announcer talks about how veteran the crew is and how great they're doing.

Like being a college official for 35 years is a good thing.

I can confirm that I was not the old guy behind the scorer's table (that guy was cracking me up). There was a lot of emotion going on close to their table at that time. I will also not deny making any baseball references.

They whiffed on about 3 block/charge calls too. It was a very poor crew.

There were some really late whistles, even when the call was obvious.

I like that we’re taking that page out of the Huggy playbook and force them to call something. Might not always work out but I like keeping pressure on the refs and we’re getting a rep for taking a lot of charges which also helps.
