Grill has the painful grimace of a middle-aged man the day after a moderately strenuous afternoon of yardwork.
*** Official #5 Kansas State vs #12 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
Turnovers are tied. Iowa St needs to be +5 in the 2nd half
You mean there’s like a strategy to high level basketball and the coach doesn’t just go out there and say, “let’s make some buckets fellas” sits his ass down on the bench and collects his check every week? Mind blown.
They had moments and wanted to. Had Holmes buried that 3 when we went on the 7-0 run the roof was going to come off.
Did really well defensively on K. Johnson and Nowell. Hopefully can keep it going 2nd half and the Carter guy comes back to Earth.
Cyclones a bit out of sync offensively, need to get some better looks for Gabe & Holmes from 3, feed Osun and get to the paint/foul line.

Okay half but way too many missed opportunities.
Game changed when Lipsey picked up his second bad fouls and also when Jones was on the floor. The league is too good and athletic for Bob to keep up. He is too slow with his moves offensively, often getting stripped, and he gets utterly abused on switches. When he's in Nowell that's bad news.
Need to take car of the ball, make our free throws (fat chance right?), and stay out of foul trouble. Osun, Lipsey and Kalscheur need to stay on the court as much as possible. Can't happen if they commit dumb fouls

Look for the refs to notice the lack of fouls at half and make the 2nd half a foulfest.
Hoping for more from king this half in the paint
Not sure what the answer is here, if grill is out. Have to get more than ten minutes from osun somehow.
We know who’s on tonight. Feed Gabe, Osun, and Holmes.
I don't remember seeing much of Tre King in the first half. Hopefully he gets more minutes.
I thought we got away with some in the first half. Hard to complain about how this game has been called.
