*** Official #2 IOWA STATE vs West Virginia Game(Day) Thread ***

[fsanford]

I couldn't tell if Jerry West's wife was emotional over the tributes all game or crying about how bad we were playing basketball.

Too soon?

Not at all. I blame the Logo putting a lid on the basket today

Chatt is extremely limited offensively. He was wide open 5 feet from the basket and instead drove into a defender. 5 feet - no consideration of taking a shot.

Twice. Just a baby hook and get it on the rim from that distance.

 

[awd4cy]

I know they went undefeated at one point. Maybe 2001-2002?

Yep, looks like 16-0 that year. Lost to Oklahoma in the Big 12 tournament championship game. Lost to Maryland in final four

I'm not handling the loss well, but I'm glad I've avoided posting anything stupid on CF today. This is not a bad loss but it feels horrible because we are a really good team with high expectations. Don't think I have much more to say about it. On to UCF.

not even my best post today

 

[ClubCy]

But that’s the point. Both things can be true and WERE true today. But you think that gatekeeping the discussion is important, because reasons.

I’m just responding to people who respond to me. Both things can be true but it’s literally every game so it’s becoming the boy who cried.

Again, I made a post and people are responding to it. If they don’t agree that’s fine but it’s weak ****.

You got me I guess. I’m 24 years old and expect the #2 team in the nation to beat a unranked, injury plagued opponent.

Maybe I should know better from being a beaten down Cyclone fan.

They actually got all but one of their guys back today

When they beat KU they were down 3 guys

 

[awd4cy]

Oh son...you're only 24 years old? You have NO idea what being a beaten down Cyclone really is like.

To be fair he should remember 2-22

 

[CySmurf]

Do we tell them about that night in Boise?

The 04 Mizzou football game? The next year? The '97 UCLA Sweet Sixteen?

Like at least 30 other football games?

...he's not ready for all that being thrown at him all at once.

 

[madguy30]

To be fair he should remember 2-22

And the 20 loss season before that and the dysfunction on CSP's 18-19 team and Fred's last team.

It's a journey.

 

[fsanford]

...he's not ready for all that being thrown at him all at once.

Yep he has coping issues. Rest of us have callouses on our privates from a variety of kicks

 

[cyclones500]

Respectfully, you don't know pain if you didn't watch Jim Walden lose at home to UNI by two scores.

To be fair, Gene "Fully Entrenched Commemorative Coin" Chizik also lost at home to UNI by two scores.

lol pretty much. I just want ISU to beat an inferior opponent and it enrages me when they can’t.

CPR almost did.

CMC's first team lost to them.

**** gets wild.

 

[CySmurf]

Yes, but he needs to absorb more heartache and despair to really seasoning him. ;-)

 

[rosshm16]

My luke-warm take is that 2-22 isn't that bad because that season only had like three non-con games outside of Iowa and the "SEC Challenge" or whatever conference it was that year. Throw in eight more games against kenpom #200-300 and it's probably just a run-of-the-mill sh*tty record instead of a historically sh*tty record.

I was gonna say, we don't have to go all the way back to walden to find some pretty trash football, lol

 

[madguy30]

Did you see what happened to other top ten teams today?
