Thank God there's no special teams in basketball...
*** Official #20 IOWA STATE vs Iowa Game(Day) Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
Just focused on ISU and to a lesser degree the Big 12. Don’t watch the news or listen to the local talk radio.
That game reminded me of when the Monstars steal the Looney Toons' ball-playing abilities. We were atrocious both on the macro and the micro level. It's frustrating when we miss shots but that's basketball. There were several chances to get back into the game in the first half and every single time we reacted by making the dumbest possible play. The lane violation on the bricked free throw, good lord. You can't be doing that stuff when you are down 20 and trying to grind back into the game. That's just silly.
There were multiple areas of the game where we were so bad that had we executed perfectly in every other area we still would have lost. I don't mean the team was bad like we missed a lot of shots or made some bad passes--though we did both of those things--I mean they were bad in the sense that they seemed to be playing basketball for the very first time tonight. They struggled with concepts like "catching the ball."
Burn the tape and move on.

Sir! Yes, Sir!
When is the next mission, Captain? I am ready.
Good pump-up talk here. We can use it!
Gabe and Caleb try hard. Not much for results. They need to focus more on the game, instead of being the next Jacobson.
The biggest disappointment was letting Rebraca bully us down low. We have an absolute bulldozer in Jones and a 2-time defensive player of the year in Osun… Rebraca beat them both.
That’s what I was thinking. I was wondering how they could be so tight to shoot so badly when we were down 20. I thought they would heat up just because the pressure was off, and we might get it to 10…but they never loosened up.
Wish somebody told me before the game we were having Manning from the football team guest coach the offense tonight
Mrs decided a few days ago that she wanted date night tonight on her day off. As usual, she did not check the sports schedule. I reluctantly agreed, and did not catch any of the game because we were watching the 640 running of "The Fabelmans".
I may be the only winner in cyclone nation tonight for not catching a single glimpse of that beat down. And fwiw, I thought the movie was garbage.

Osun couldn't avoid fouling. Just a step slow tonight against the much quicker Rebraca.
Not sure what the deal is with Ward, who looks good whenever he's out there.
What team just played Duke in New York? Could have fooled me. Just terrible effort from coaches to players.
We don’t have any other shooters. That includes grill. He only strikes a fire here and there.
Chris Allen and Korie Lucious had corvettes while they were here before NIL from Butch’s, stop it.
Well it didn't sound like things went very well against Duke.
I'd rather a bad performance vs. Iowa than conference teams but that was beyomd bad.
Because they have multiple Iowans, legacy recruits, they get up for this game, they treat it like a rivalry.
Free throws and out of bounds situations, haha.
