*** Official #12 IOWA STATE vs Missouri Game(Day) Thread ***

[SCarolinaCy]

I’m out. They can’t miss. These games happen. We are down two key starter defenders. I’m not watching when there isn’t a chance we come back. No point. Not mad either just rather do other things. Monday is far more important! Go Clones.

Can't get up for road games. Not a good look.

I'd like us to adjust on defense when teams starting hitting the 3 off the skip pass or traps. It's frustrating that we continue to let teams shoot wide open 3s when they're obviously hot

 

[CYDJ]

This feels almost exactly like the Iowa game.

This is EXACTLY like the Iowa game. Inexplicable insistence in doubling high in the corners, just incredibly stupid but perfectly thrown cross court, long or skip passes and the opposing team shooting out of their ******* minds. Its exactly the same game and colors, coincidence?

College Basketball is just weird this season. Alabama is down 18 to Oklahoma, I considered Alabama as the best team in the country.

Hell, Kansas got blown the **** out in this challenge last year and won the title. The results in this challenge in particular have been a bit weird.

 

[ClonesFTW]

Did we just crash the server temporarily or was that just my phone? Lol

 

[jbhtexas]

Back-to-back games of poor defense.

 

[Althetuna]

Not our night. Try to make it respectable and move on

 

[Cardinal2001]

we aren't as bad as some of you are making them out to be.

 

[NorthCyd]

Flush this ******* game and the Big XII/SEC challenge. Good riddance.

 

[xboxfever]

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a team shoot like this. This has got to be a record for made shots in a row right?

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Did we even do a scouting report to identify their shooters?

Well they have had 6 players shoot 3s and 5 have made them. Not sure what you want them to do.

 

[CycloneVet]

Hopefully this will be a wake up call…. because we might lose by 40.

If that doesn’t wake you up, nothing will.

Wake up from what exactly, we have been playing well before today. Just beat the number 5 team in the country last game. Is the sky always falling in your life?

 

[helechopper]

Down 17 with 15:08 left in the second half.

Here we go…

 

[CYDJ]

Did not win the first 4 out of the break.

**** happens. We didn’t bring it and Mizzou did and shot out of their mind. It’s not like they are a bad team. Flush it and move on. It’s like people forget the road team typically wins in college hoops at the P5 level.

I mean OU is currently embarrassing the #2 in the country in Norman. We all know Bama is a better team but home court is bigger than most realize.

Yeah, its worth noting if Mizzou was shooting their season average right now, this would be around a tie game.

 

[isucy86]

Our on ball defense is awful today

Yea our on ball defense is bad, in part because we are switching too easy. Also guys are cheating too much instead of sticking with their guy.

Mizzou moves the ball we'll and has made 3 pointers. Teams that have done that have shredded our defense.

IMO there are times when we need another tool in our tool-box and need to go back to fundamentals. Play tough man-to-man and don't automatically switch. And don't overplay passing lanes out top.

 

[ca4cy]

Bob Jones is the answer!!

 

[CySmurf]

Just another typical Iowa State game where they piss away a chance to really make a statement. It has happened many times over the years. Hope this doesn’t lead to a loosing streak like they had last year.

What's a "loosing" streak??? One o.

 

[tim_redd]

Well they have had 6 players shoot 3s and 5 have made them. Not sure what you want them to do.

Yeah they've all been making them, but Hodge and Honor are 40% 3pt shooters and we've left them wide open multiple times.

 

[bosco]

This team was not prepared for what Missouri is doing. This one is on the coaches.
