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

[Acylum]

Top end shooters are going for a min of 500k and some a couple times that.

I’m not connected and have no actual way of knowing, but I highly, highly doubt this is correct.

Watching all the Momcilovic highlights with hungry eyes this season

Huge disappointment...... and these announcers just made it worse

When we suck at football and we suck at basketball....tough times

 

[Cyinthenorth]

This is fools gold for the Hawks, they never will play this well again this year.

No, they won't. We may not play this bad again either.

Man, watching those highlights they were wide open on those 3s…

 

[ZuriCyclone]

cool to see a lot of ISU fans in carver, it is tough place to hang with that trash.

I get what you are saying but don’t think they played less hard early than usual to get that massive deficit, the flow of the game just didn’t fit the style where they can be successful and they couldn’t recover talent wise. Don’t think it’s an effort thing.

Their close outs on D have been worse than what Hoiberg's teams played like.

Also panicked on O.

You have a good chance of winning when you hit over 50% from 3 any night.

And it helps if the other team leaves you wide open from 3.

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

Again, when you are playing as physically as our guys do on defense, you can’t just suddenly shift away from that on offense. It’s a reason our ball-handling is so messy, why we miss so many bunnies, and why our 3-point shooting is so inconsistent. Sometimes our guys can find their rhythm when playing against other teams that aren’t aggressive on defense. But if you play up to our energy like the Hawks have tonight, we can’t relax on the offensive side of the ball and then we are a mess.

 

[LtRaczack]

There is still a .01 percent chance we can win this!!

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.

Who was the highest priced shooter this off-season?

 

[Die4Cy]

Rebraca's haircut is a crime against style.

 

[CYDJ]

This is fools gold for the Hawks, they never will play this well again.

FIFY

 

[ZuriCyclone]

really was hoping for a 19 to 15 loss, vs a 20 to 25 point loss.

 

[Marcelason78]

…….Top end shooters are going for a min of 500k and some a couple times that….

Not saying he’s a top end shooter, but what did Hunter go for?

 

[CYEATHAWK]

Did you know the cheapest bench warmer on Creightons roster got 75K and our best guy in any sport is getting 25K?

And Creighton was beat by Nebraska.

Games like this happen. We weren't paying anyone huge sums of money to anyone last year when we owned Iowa or even made the sweet sixteen.

I wouldn't even know why this should be a way to rationalize games like this.

The guys weren't prepared........that's on coach. ISU is just getting it's butt kicked plain and simple.

It's just one game. People donating a half a mil. for a shooter wouldn't have done a thing for tonight's type of performance outside of making the final score closer.

 

[HFCS]

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

Lipsey and Rob have half our rebounds.

I was thinking Rob has to be wondering what happened to the other guys.

11 points
9 boards
2 assists
1 TO
1 foul

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

The same two that kept playing hard against UConn. Those two and Grill being a part of next year’s squad with the new guys coming in are making me hopeful for the future.

Huge disappointment...... and these announcers just made it worse

Imagine how disappointed they were. They thought they would be calling a fun rivalry game and instead had to do improv for 2 hours.
