*** Official #4 Auburn vs #5 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[cloneclone]

Well…. only fitting that hero ball loses the game for us.

I’m telling though…. Auburn is SUPER talented. We did not play well in the 2nd half and still could’ve won it.

I think we have a special season ahead of us folks!!

"Hero ball" AKA the play drawn up by the coaches

Geezus Jefferson just watched that rebound

Probably not a foul, but it looked like Broome's left arm was on the shoulder of Jefferson and prevented him from getting a jump.

This one is going to sting

Not necessarily. Depends on how Auburn does the rest of the season. Disappointing yes, but at the start of the game, I had serious doubts we'd be in it in the last 30 seconds. I'm not happy at the loss, but I'm not going to cry myself to sleep tonight.

We got out coached in the 2nd half I feel. Great in game adjustment to our trap game.

 

[hiltonisheaven]

Our guys looked really tired. Needed to play more bodies. Lipsey and Jefferson especially seemed worn down there. Gotta find a way to get some rest.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

We have the worst inbounds plays in the nation. Jackson and Jefferson need to actually make an effort to rebound on that last shot.

Jefferson got abused by Broome that whole game. Refs were kind of allowing it, so not sure what Joshua could've done differently

 

[Drew0311]

TJ has failed a lot at the end of games with his plays. We need to just start letting them play instead of calling a time out. Don’t let them get ready for what we are going to do

 

[AuH2O]

Fitting end losing giving up an offensive rebound.

Bigs better rebound a hell of a lot better than that or this season is going to be a disappointment.

 

[cyclones500]

First four minutes of the second half did us in. We let them get back in it instead of knocking them back into the ground.

Agree, that stretch was awful.

 

[FLYINGCYCLONE]

Out scored 14-2 on second chance points, from the radio guys. Gotta block out a lot better.

 

[tim_redd]

Defense needs to get up to speed if the offense is gonna have droughts like that again this year.

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

What’s the record for the most offensive rebounds given up in a season and how can I bet on Iowa State breaking it

 

[Big_Sill]

Whole defense sitting on Gilbert.

 

[peachy]

I would like to have someone explain to me why Jefferson plays so much? His defense stinks and he has no idea of how to block someone out.

 

[NWICY]

****. I'm hungry. I can't eat. And I having my insides probed tomorrow.

Routine colonoscopy? If so hope it comes out ok for you.

 

[andybernard]

I hope this was Jefferson's worst game of his career.

 

[quasistellar]

Just a terrible draw up at the end. No benefit whatsoever to wait at half court and waste the clock.

Way better off trying to get a shot with enough time where if you miss you can get another posession.

That's one of the worst end game plans I've seen in a while. Why run out the clock when that guarantees your opponent the final shot whether you make it or not?

 

[cyfanbr]

Jefferson burned on the back cut then forgetting to box out on the put back…not great.

Think he was gassed most of the second half. At least that’s what it looked like to me.

 

[blutarsky]

Geezus Jefferson just watched that rebound

Jefferson had a tough second half. Got burned a few times. Look a little lost at times. Body language was dragging towards the end.

 

[DSMCy]

Damn that on stings
