*** Official #24 IOWA STATE vs #20 BYU Game(Day) Thread ***

[madguy30]

This is way worse than any of that. My opinion at least. Only ones that come close are @iowa in 2022 and 2022 Oklahoma State at Hilton.

How is this game worse?

BYU's a pretty good team.

This. I love Otzball against teams like Houston but it doesn’t work against good passing teams who have good shooters. Against BYU you need to play straight up man to man.

Yeah you just have to match up, I have no idea what they were doing.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

It took garbage time heroics to avoid the lowest point total for a team in ncaa tournament history,

Maybe you are right, and that was worse. But this game is the closest thing I have felt to the Prohm era since the Prohm era.

 

[bluestarcyclone]

This actually makes me feel a lot better

Though in conference game stats we were sitting at 12th going into today.

I've had more fun with basketball, and I'll have more fun again.
It wasn't a week to go predicting wins, but this next one is still a possibility.

 

[CYedUp]

Very bad on both sides tonight. Burn the film and move on

 

[CYDJ]

He doesn’t do much for the team not sure why Omaha doesn’t at least get some of his minutes, can’t hurt to try that.

Have you watched Omaha at all?

Can you not tell he has no idea what is going on at either end of the floor yet?

He won't improve by getting thrown in a game where he is over his head.

 

[AirWalke]

The BYU students singing "na na na hey hey hey goodbye" is about my tipping point. I'm done.

 

[CySmitty]

just please protect hilton

 

[HoustonClone]

A "nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey, good bye" chant? What a bunch of goobers.

They are experts in the cheers and chants from the 80s.

They are like Iowa. Very white and very whiny. It felt like we got depantsed by a Fran team tonight

 

[Clonefan32]

No, you are correct. They kept their starters in and kept jacking up threes. Come to Hilton, BYU.....see you there.

I’m not sure we are allowed to whine about that. We’ve played starters real late in blowouts plenty.

 

[RoseClone]

That’s one bad thing about TJ he’s not good at adjustments or just refuses to do any of that.

I'll take the good things about TJ

 

[bluestarcyclone]

They are experts in the cheers and chants from the 80s.

In fairness I think that's when some of their players started playing ball.

 

[rosshm16]

At least Watson scored

 

[cyatheart]

That’s one bad thing about TJ he’s not good at adjustments or just refuses to do any of that.

Tj isn't what one would call a real cerebral type of coach. He's good at yelling let's go and tearing his shirt off, but he's not going to out scheme anybody.

 

[GTO]

Waterman is my new most hated player.

 

[atlantacyclone]

A little bit of home cooking but it didn’t matter. I thought we might have a run to end the game but the opposite happened. Frustrating considering they weren’t playing their best player.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

That’s one bad thing about TJ he’s not good at adjustments or just refuses to do any of that.

Disagree, I think the jury is still out. End of the day, TJ is effectively recruiting players to run his system still, but he still isn't getting enough shot makers or play makers to come play ball in Ames.
