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

[HFCS]

At leas the officials are evening up the fouls now. I was wondering when that would happen.

There was a brief 3-4 minute stretch in first half where Iowa fan groans were officiating the game pretty obviously...but other than that I don't even think the calls were that bad. We made a lot of stupid obvious fouls.

Didn’t expect it to be exposed this game so bad but the lack of offense this year is going to be bad. You can play hard and play great defense but at the end of the day it’s an offensive game with a short 3 point line. I think an overrated NC team gave us a lot of false hope. This team will play their ass off but are very limited.

And tonight they really didn't play their ass off or at least look like it.

Connor is still a **** stick.

Are we seriously talking about McCaffreys baseball career.

 

[CycloneErik]

Do you want me to tell you how much the shooters he’s tried recruiting have gotten to go elsewhere?

Yes

 

[MyNameEhJeff]

Without their best player

Their “best player” had less than 10 points last year. We’re also without our starting PG

Make sure you all wave to an Iowa troll who's been watching this thread all night.
Hi @TRYHARDER

 

[Rabbuk]

Yes

Please don't ask for this.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

the game within the game, is do we lose by 25 or 15

 

[madguy30]

Not much else to watch while I sit in carver.

Were you too busy during the UNC game or just didn't like TJ winning?

 

[CYDJ]

Conner shoves his shoulder into Kunc and gets a foul. That was not a foul. Kunc did double over becuase he got hit mid gut. Bad call there.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

Hope TJ does not ask them to foul to increase their score, take the beatdown and leave

I just don’t buy the constant NIL boogeyman. We got Shoon and Holmes over other schools. Why would a few guys who can shoot be different? How does Iowa have an ability to find guys who can put the ball in the basket and we can’t? It’s not NIL…

I don’t think tonight is about NIL, we’re just getting our ass kicked. I was responding to why we didn’t get a transfer shooter in this year. Top end shooters are going for a min of 500k and some a couple times that.

Shoon and Holmes picked us over some offers, but several others - even those that we absolutely would have gotten if not for NIL didn’t. That keep our ceiling pretty low this year IMHO.

Dumbing all your posts, am I doing this right?

 

[Marcelason78]

Conner doesn’t want to score…that’s why he’s shooting from 30ft.

 

[Drew0311]

It boggles my mind how bad our shooters are this year and last year. Like they have been playing basketball since they were 5 and can’t shoot

 

[CycloneErik]

Please don't ask for this.

Where were you a minute ago? You know I can't help myself around ugly news.

 

[madguy30]

Oklahoma State and TCU in Hilton were much worse just last year. And there were plenty of stinkers from the two years before that. At least we are not getting held to 44 points this game.

I'm talking more of the defensive energy.

That wasn't lacking in those losses.

Tonight was awful everywhere.

 

[Acylum]

A freshman and our 6th man weren’t intimidated and came to play. Two guys. Yeesh.

 

[HFCS]

Exactly. Utah State is the best 3 point shooting team in the country. I doubt they have any NIL.

It's hard to recruit elite 3 point shooters who can be elite defenders in the best conference because those players tend to be eventual NBA prospects.

Maybe you can coach up a shooter to defend more than you can coach an athlete to shoot.
