*** Official #20 IOWA STATE vs Iowa Game(Day) Thread ***

[cyclonestunners]

Or quit shooting?

Yeah man! Let's let a guy not shoot, so the defense doesnt have to come out on him, and clog the lane against us! You have a brilliant basketball mind!

 

[CapnCy]

When we do have an open 3, our guys don't let it fly. Therefore no shooting in rhythm.

Nothing to lose this game. Play the 2nd half with pants on fire, play instinctively, trust your shot.

Agree. Seems we are also making some unnecessary passes instead of taking a shot

 

[ISU_Guy]

Everyone knows Wisconsin is going to beat Iowa by 20 this weekend right?

 

[LtRaczack]

Alright, we scored 20 by halftime!!!!!

 

[CYDJ]

Osun started off very lackadaisical and never corrected. He has to learn to play a little smarter. Rebracca Is going to basically take it to our bigs with impunity now. We have to be really smart in the second half.

 

[FerShizzle]

I'll ask again...who should shoot?

Who's shooting well?

Literally anyone else.

 

[madguy30]

so someone said this was a no win game. Is it a noer win game if we get blown out without their best player? This could not be worse.

It's still irrelevant if the conference season goes OK.

But that will take ISU playing like normal...not this.

 

[Halincandenza]

I mean - I’m shocked they weren’t fired up to begin with considering it’s a cut-throat rivalry game on the road.

Most of the team doesn’t understand the rivalry

Grill and Kunc have only taken 1 shot each. Either shoot the ball or sit the **** down. Rebeca and Porkins killing us is beyond embarrassing. Also making Connie look like Steph Curry from three.

Usually Grill's good on defense. Tonight the defense is poor, so yes, he needs to shoot. But Caleb is only good for about 5 good shooting nights a season. And he's had 1 (maybe 2).

 

[HFCS]

Still have Baylor, TCU, Kansas, Texas ranked on the schedule. Yikes

In its current composition, 1 or 2 teams are going to miss the dance because they play in the Big 12 instead of any other conference where they'd probably get the wins to get in.

If we have an epic collapse it could be us this year. I have zero doubt this team would make the NCAA with any other major conference schedule. With a Big 12 schedule we're maybe 60% in 40% out. Even with a beatdown tonight we're still going to have a top 20ish non conf resume. Last year had a top 5-10ish non conf resume.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Struggling to figure out how the team getting punked tonight by Iowa beat UNC.

 

[bustamoveisu]

I'll ask again...who should shoot?

Who's shooting well?

ELI KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[67CY]

That is a GREAT thought…. if Iowa doesn’t score a single point this half…. would we win?

If they score 10 more I don’t think we could win

 

[AuH2O]

We need a better offensive play than Jaren Holmes runs to the hoop with the ball and hopes for something.

Last year the offense was Brockington hit contested stepback long twos at a ridiculous rate or struggle to score. ISU has to turn the opposition over at a high rate and get some buckets in transition.

 

[HouClone]

Wouldn't mind to see Eli King come in sometime not within 2 minutes of the end. Maybe he'll give us a spark.

 

[madguy30]

Literally anyone else.

Who? What evidence do you have that anyone will do better tonight?

 

[HFCS]

Gabe, Holmes, kunz and Grill should be embarrassed. that was truly something insane to watch them airball, miss lay ups, turn the ball over, give up baskets.

Grill had a totally open lane to the hoop once and threw a pass that was almost a turnover. It's like he's afraid to shoot it.

 

[Malone]

I think we score 34 in the second half. Can we hold Iowa to 13? Nope

 

[madguy30]

ELI KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Has he shot well in his time? What else does he do well?

I don't completely understand him.
