*** Official West Virginia vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Hey, we are doing the blame the refs for the 50th straight fame. Fun.

Missed FT, stupid fouls, dumbass technicals, and multiple 5 minute scoring droughts. But sure…refs.

While we are far from the only fanbase to do it, the constant complaining is exhausting. We were in the double bonus with 10 minutes left and quit attacking. Their entire front court was out and we wouldn’t go down low. We missed wide open jump shots and layups. We got absolutely lost defensively in key moments. But it was the refs.

Prior to tonight, WVU was 1-16 in their last 17 Big 12 road games.

Imaging being their age, they knew what was coming.

Once again, TJ not getting Ts and riding refs is costing us games.

What is Frans Technical to Sweet 16 ratio? Ts don’t equal winning.

We will get in, but no doubt we are the worst team in the Big 12 right now and would not make the tourney if not for our hot start months ago.

I hate to do this, but the question has to be asked…. does our basketball and football teams have to recruit smarter players?? Both of them play REALLY stupid most of the time…. and it costs them lots of games.

Man this is pure gold reading some of you tantrum cliffdwellers.

Our offense struggles when we slow it down too much. We had good flow when we were making the comeback.

Lipsey does so many things to help this team and obviously has to play but his lack of shooting absolutely kills this offense in the half court. The way they overplay our other guards and sag off him. He is going to have to improve a ton to make sure this isn’t a issue in coming years else might find himself out late in games with more talent available.

that's a bummer. that gabe third foul in the first half was an absolute killer. and that whole flagrant situation I knew would end up biting us.

It's a loss and we're in this skid still but we played much better overall than the past three games which personally I think is a big deal.

Pretty likely we play on Wednesday now unless TT can beat Okie State on Saturday. Sigh.

If we lose to Baylor and Tech beats Oklahoma State does that mean we get the 6? Because honestly I expect Tech to beat OSU

Fantastic. Another night I go to bed pissed off and will go to work pissed off.

On the bright side we only have to **** the bed 3 more times and then its over

 

[madguy30]

TJ has some giant blind spots. The defense is all Kyle Green FYI.

for context... last year prior to drawing a team without a coach and getting Wisky without their PG in the second half, they looked exactly like this at the end of the season. hapless. i am not sure they get that draw again?

And in 2015 fans were convinced that ISU was flying high until they met a .500 UAB team that themselves played like dog crap to beat ISU.

They may very well lose in the first round and the folks who wanted a long list of blue blood candidates can circle jerk into football season about how terrible making the tourney is.

 

[Malone]

Otz’s career arc playing out similarly to Mike Boynton’s. Good recruiter, nice guy, needs a f**k ton of talent and even then likely just not a good enough coach to make much of an impact.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Man this is pure gold reading some of you tantrum cliffdwellers.

I'm sure everyone melting down saying they are done with the team will be right back here Saturday.

 

[CycloneVet]

And lucked out playing Tech at home when we did. If we played Tech at home this Saturday, we’d lose 100%.

What a dumb post

 

[FerShizzle]

here is a list of big 12 coaches that TJ is better than once the ball is tipped and a game ensues. also, i like TJ.



he has to get better.

 

[KCyclone2010]

I don’t get the narrative that teams have figured us out…so why haven’t we figured out the other teams? The other teams have a coach that adjusts and we don’t isn’t the spin the TJ sunshine and roses crowd thinks it is. 2 years in a row of a late season collapses

 

[dahliaclone]

If we lose to Baylor and Tech beats Oklahoma State does that mean we get the 6? Because honestly I expect Tech to beat OSU

Yup

 

[CoKane]

Wow, man.....just wow. Go cheer for the Hawks or something. That's pathetic.

You go do that douchebag. I actually want to watch some ******* winning basketball, not whatever the **** this trash is and has been since February started.

You don’t have to watch if it gets you in your feelings.

Shoon took 4 shots tonight. Four. How does that happen???

 

[Tpups21]

So many chances to put that game away late. Inexcusable offensive execution in crunch time.

 

[SoleCyclone]

The fact that at one point we were 14-3 overall and 5-1 in the Big 12. Lots of blame to go around
