If it gets co.petitive we hold them below 70. Can we score more than 35?

Domask’s signature move is back you down and then create space with a forearm to your throat.

Time to sweep the leg

Reality here is. We just have to be better offensively to really be elite. We can be really good, but you have to be able to do both. That's the challenge tj has really.

 

[cycloneworld]

Get a couple of buckets to start the half and we are right back in it.

 

[JP4CY]

I'd like to see less double teaming. IL can pass well.

 

[Jayshellberg]

Hey Pearl! Our offense is at least playing. What’s your offense doing?

I really despise that man. He is just a scum bag.

 

[bustamoveisu]

Rebounding isn't a surprise. They're much bigger. The problem is the offense is looking like a Todd Lickliter offense.

I'm offended by this statement..

Sincerely, Brian Ferentz

WTH....We beat Houston twice and now we act like we have never faced a talented team. we need to pull our heads out and play OUR game!!

Pearl was EXACTLY right when he said he has no idea what we’re trying to do on offense. It was that bad.

 

[RezClone]

We held them to 36 points which is right on schedule. Probably is I think we have to hold them to less than 30 in the 2nd half even if we turn it around in a big way offensively.

It's a numbers game at this point, even best case scenario. That's asking a lot. Illinois has not been good from 3 and WORSE from the free throw line. We need to make it even worse than that!

No

 

[ClonerJams]

I did this during the BYU game at Hilton when we looked like ass in the first half. Hopefully it works again.

 

[OrangeCarrot]

These talking heads on TBS are just dumb. They get paid WAY too much.

Stan Van Gundy is super annoying. Makes me glad he got cucked out of a Finals championship with the Heat.

 

[cyatheart]

Other problem here is, Illinois had a week to get ready. They know what to do.

 

[Stumbles]

Thinking about 2 plays right now:

1) Shannon 3 hits rim, then ceiling, and goes in as their big throws BRR down and gets the foul

2) Keshon picks a pocket and ball flys towards rim and their guy sticks his arm up and forearms it in

I am also thinking about a couple of point blankers we doinked too hard off the backboard.

 

[madguy30]

TJ getting boat raced in the coaching stat.

Yeah he's definitely telling the players to rush things and not have position on boards.

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Terrible 1st half but only down 10 and we start with the ball I like ISU chances.

 

[helechopper]

This might be the most important beginning to a second half of basketball for Iowa State within the past 25 years.

 

[Raiders70]

You can criticize the offenses all you want but the bottom line is all these shots they are missing tonight they were making in KC. Defense by Illinois isn't any better than what they saw in KC. Kinda how they were playing at the end of the regular season but they aren't playing UCF or K states tonight so they are not going to win unless Milan and Gilbert really heat up.in the 2nd half.

 

[CYDJ]

Butt Pucker time. Get them to within 5 and they will start thinking about their shots NEEDING to go in instead of this "whatever, look at that I just bounced one in off two guys' heads. Good for me," crap.
