*** Official IOWA STATE vs #12 Texas A&M Game(Day) Thread ***

Giving up 10 in less than 3 minutes was the game. Let’s hope that this tournament is the “Ohio” game for these guys. Because they look bad.

We brought in 2 offensive oriented players who do absolutely nothing well offensively. Jones is a complete disaster on all levels and Pav cant even make simple free throws.

This is by far my least favorite TJ team so far.

It’s an identity issue right now. At least with prior teams we were willing to grind out offensive possessions. It’s a bad offensive team trying to play like a good offensive team right now. Playing fast and loose doesn’t work real well when you can’t score.

If this is how we are going to shoot take me back to milking the shot clock and waiting until it’s under 10 to initiate offense.

The point swing in this game is like half of our total points. Wow.

 

[alarson]

The most overhyped TJ team might end up being the worst

Even if you're right because you're a broken clock, you can still eat a bag of dicks.

This weekend has left zero wiggle room for conference play. .500 won’t get us in.

I don’t think we make the tournament. .500 in conference is a tall task.

 

[jsb]

This team needs a week off to get their mind right. They will be OK.

C Jones getting minutes and Watson and Omaha not getting minutes only reinforces to me that TJ is clueless.

 

[cyatheart]

Killed on the boards, way too many turnovers, shoot 35 percent, can't make a free throw and overall just a real lack of offensive talent

Miracle it was close at all, a and m didnt even play well

 

[OKClones]

Is this announcer the A&M announcer? What a homer!

 

[CYDJ]

Well, Texas A&M played a far better game than us for 25 minutes. They deserve the win.

As it should be. Can only blame ourselves for our weak ass schedule.

Curtis Jones should only see about 5 mins a game. He is so freaking bad it’s unreal. Never seen anything like it. Bonehead plays and throwing up bricks.

It’s coaching malpractice to continue to give him the green light. TJ is not exactly known for his in-game coaching so we are going to have to take losses early to figure this out because he doesn’t have the ability to adjust on the fly.

 

[madguy30]

Long season but that was not a good showing in Orlando. Team got a little too complacent playing scrubs early on. Can't be this sloppy in the Big 12 or it's gonna be a loooong winter

The next two games will be awfully interesting.

My post game analysis: I had a lot more fun last night. That is all

 

[alarson]

14 of 23 at the line - pathetic

If you figure that a 'normal' top 100 team will hit 75%, that only cost us ~3 points. Feels like the turnovers and huge number of missed 3s are a bigger issue this game.

 

[cyclonestunners]

Plenty of open looks, we just don’t make enough of them. The free throw shooting again atrocious and now we are turning the ball over like it’s a hot potato. Disappointing!

Yep..don't get the people saying we don't do well on offense. We get open looks, just not making them. The scheme should be enough of we hit at an average pace..ugh.

 

[Acylum]

Early 2nd halves continue to be an issue.

 

[cayin]

We will enter conference with zero quality wins. I do not trust this team to beat Iowa. They couldn't even put away a team with a 21 point lead that was down two starters. This team lacks offensive talent in a big way. This is more than Ward being out, there is a lot of low IQ basketball out there, especially on the offensive end.

 

[GTO]

Man, **** this game.

 

[rosshm16]

21 point lead and we lose the game.
