*** Official #10 Illinois vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[CyGuy5]

This is how BYU torched us the first time. Gotta figure it out fast

 

[cyclo120]

Bold strategy leaving possibly the best offensive player in the tournament open

 

[xboxfever]

Better start playing like you want to be there or Illinois is going to run this team clear out of the gym.

 

[Lexclone]

We’re done. This is the exact opposite of how we had to start.

4:08 and we’re done. Bold call, Cotton.

 

[scyclonekid]

Get out of that double teaming defense, it’s killing us and they can’t miss.

 

[simply1]

Rob isn’t providing anything on the pick and roll so far.

 

[HouClone]

The ol' double - just because. Looks like Virginia Tech again.

 

[StLouisClone]

Last year Lipsey hardly ever missed a layup. This year he seems more tentative. Not sure if it's due to his shoulder or a lack of concentration.

We’re done. This is the exact opposite of how we had to start.

Terrible post, just terrible

 

[F5cy]

I dont think we need to double. they are just passing the ball around. play straight up

 

[Erik4Cy]

They need to trap harder or don’t trap.

This. Trap with the intention of a jump ball tie up/turnover, otherwise just defend straight up.

 

[Cymark86]

We’re done. This is the exact opposite of how we had to start.

I mean we are 4 minutes into this and we’re done?

 

[CYDJ]

Too little time left. We can't comeback from this now. Dang.

 

[Halincandenza]

I just can’t believe how much more energy they came out with. That shouldn’t happen

 

[JM4CY]

They need to calm their t*ts.

 

[t-noah]

We’re done. This is the exact opposite of how we had to start.

Dude, the game has just begun. Strap in!

 

[ClubCy]

My one ask earlier this week was to not come out like this like we do every time we are in this spot. Calm down and guard someone it’s early

 

[SoleCyclone]

Lipsey has had at least 1 of those overcooked layups in the last 5 games. Just oddly strong off the backboard that doesn't touch rim

 

[atlantacyclone]

No worries guys. I’ll turn it off in a minute and we will come back! Works every time!

 

[CloneLawman]

Yes, they can.

O look. A new member of the Eeyore Brigade
