*** Official #13 IOWA STATE vs Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

[sbmomma21]

2 big Ls in a row....not good.

 

[clonehenge]

just lost a 23 point lead to a winless team, in front of like 5K people

not sure how you come back from this one

Don't forget they were missing 2 starters...effing pathetic.

 

[cyclo120]

2nd time this season, Oklahoma State being the other, TJ has been horrifically out coached in 2nd half. Definitely something worth monitoring.

 

[ISUTex]

This is a bad loss and likely means the conference title is gone barring pulling off a win in Waco, Manhattan or Austin.

Just get a 6 seed or better in March and I'll be happy.

 

[CloneLawman]

Couple of threes to keep it around 20. Then all of the sudden it was 15 and everything was awful since.































































They earned this loss.































Even with that--if they make a reasonable percentage of free throws they would have won.

How did Vegas know?

 

[helechopper]

Is it rushing the floor if there’s more TT basketball players than fans on the court?

 

[madguy30]

Obviously, you were not watching the game.

What's it like to have it in for a college kid?

 

[joefrog]

We played poorly, that might have something to do with taking our foot off that gas, but the officials ****** us badly tonight. We didn't have to let it affect us, but this was a real raw screwing.

Absolutely.

I have no idea why ISU coaches never get technical fouls to let the officials enough is enough.

 

[Die4Cy]

Should take some of the pressure off the guys going forward. Still a lot to play for but these guys play differently when they're looking down at the rest of the league in the standings.

 

[SEIOWA CLONE]

Time for the coaches and players to look deep in their heart and decide what they are going to do now. Kansas is coming up; team has zero momentum, and the only bright spot is the game is at home. You have to play with heart, and we did not do that the entire second half. Out played out coached and it's not looking good for the Cyclones.

 

[HoustonClone]

WE should have expected this as ISU fans. We can't have nice things.

So this sucks beyond belief, but stop it with the "we can't have nice things...we are Iowa State" crap.

 

[Gary_ISU]

It started with the "pity fouls" when we were up 59-36 or whatever and the refs used that as the baseline for the rest of the game and we never adjusted. I, for one, think that's on the refs. IF it was called like that all game it's one thing, but it changed mid-game which is insane

I think it’s more we got lazy on defense and over confident and they attacked and took the ball to the basket.

 

[CysFam]

Very Iowa State to show how good they can be and then give it away in the worst way possible. I’m done being invested in this team for the year.

 

[HFCS]

i don't even care about the refs, we deserved every ******* inch of this loss.

Took a combination of two completely different sets of rules, and stupid turnovers.

It took both, but it was 100% both.

 

[globogym6]

Tamin almost had a triple double with points rebounds and TOs.

 

[cyclonehomer]

Horrible, horrible loss. I know, they're still in fairly good position but damn if it doesn't feel like they're figured out a bit at a similar point to last year's team.

A good B12 finish and tourney run are still on the table. My hope is that with two top 10 (maybe for '24, pretty early and no top 15ish guys there probably) classes coming in, a more aggressive approach is taken this off-season.

I am worried that the relative lack of ball skills and comfortability under duress will be the big Achilles heel again. Need to prioritize that more this off-season, and if you're gonna bring in transfers that barely play (Ward, should be playing over Jones but I digress) it should be guards given how much CBB is a guard's game. Just can't be one injury away from just hoping someone goes off with difficult shots.

 

[SWCy13]

TJ got his **** pushed in the last 10 minutes + OT. HORRIFIC loss to a really bad team.

 

[JCity]

Coaching was awful tonight. Most pathetic ISU performance I can remember.

 

[HouClone]

Not to beat a dead horse but losing Tyrese with his quickness on defensive and offensive end is exposing us.
