*** Official VCU vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[Cloned4Life]

It's also 5 games in so assuming such things seems like a bit of a reaction.

Assuming what? I didn’t assume anything - I just watched a half of basketball. It happened.

I'd also say that about the first 10 balls that were tipped out of bounds that looked 50/50 were all called off us. Could have been correct, who knows, they didn't show many replays on those.

Well that 1st half leaves something to be desired

 

[KremitGreens]

Respectfully, I think some fans are just realizing that - while our “ceiling” feels (or felt) potentially higher this year, our “floor” is right where it’s been - rock bottom. That’s a tough pill to swallow 5 games in.

How fast does that change if they come back in the second half? This is their real first test on the road. And the only stat they didn’t win is shooting percentage. It’s not realistic to believe this team doesn’t shoot the ball better. A lot of forced shots and still, only down 9.

Shoot, we even attempted 10 more shots. This won’t stay the same with better shooting and no more forced drives.

We most certainly did not getting any better looks against Pitt than we have so far tonight.

Yes they did. Pitt played way off the perimeter and let ISU get all sorts of space.

ISU hasn't been open much and even on these 'bunnies' VCU is always around to throw things off.

they are all over momcilovic, so they know where the scoring comes

There were definitely a few that looked extremely questionable

Why are we comparing these games? Completely different t roster.

Assuming they're the worst offense in the country.

 

[Cloned4Life]

Its

Almost like we're missing a key piece to our inside game...

Do you feel that Ward would have impacted our offense in a positive way? You could be right. I hope you’re right.

I’m not saying they’re going to win but there’s way too much overreaction. There were always going to be some November bumps with the new team.

A lot to work with from that half for coaching.

 

[madguy30]

Effort and coaching is the only thing acceptable to be “embarrassed” about when it comes to CBB.

You don't think there's effort or coaching going on?

That’s why I was hopeful that these types of halves were a thing of the past

All of this.

at this point I expect this

 

[CYEATHAWK]

I just meant that even Chris Williams was saying this is a 2 or 3 seed NCAA tournament team.

If true then he has been smoking a little too much of TJ's bath water.

Requested Cyclone by Baby Bash to the DJ. Thats gotta hype up these Gen Z players right?!?

As a random fan, I’m not thrilled with the game plan so far, no. That’s just my humble opinion being posted to a fan site; I know nothing.

Good game for it in general win or lose.
