*** Official #9 IOWA STATE vs Oklahoma State Game(Day) Thread ***

[RezClone]

He’s got the hardest job of all time

He said he just got a $200,000 commitment after the Houston game.

Bet they want it back...

 

[awd4cy]

Last years team definitely better.

It’s always interesting how every time people don’t believe this.

We can't dribble, pass, shoot, rebound. Guys are falling all over themselves. Something is seriously wrong. Hopefully it's illness or something but I feel we've done nothing but lose our edge over the past month and a half.

 

[Cymark86]

Got to ask what the hell is Nate Schmit calling over there offensively, because when we don’t turn it over and Tamin is taking difficult shots early in the shot clock that’s not it.

This is what is unexplainable. Lipsey jacking up multiple 3’s early in the shot clock is just stunning. Know who you are.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

It's like they're in a confidence death spiral

Weak minded kids.

 

[IcSyU]

The **** atmosphere doesn’t help. I said it before, we just don’t play well in empty buildings.

That's mental toughness. We looked like we had grit Saturday night. That apparently was a facade.

 

[Dannynoonan]

What the actual **** are we watching? This is absolute ******* ****.
They’re not worthy of even a 4 seed. Don’t care for the ball, not playing defense, not making free throws. Can’t sleepwalk to a win when a ****** team is amped to beat a top ten team. Just garbage.

 

[FerShizzle]

This is what I’m talking about, the coaches need to tell Jefferson to score and quit being a ***** and passing the ball every time.

Oh and tamin, cool it on chucking the 3s and go get some contact in the lane.

If I could swap JJs and Tamins shot attempts that half I would.

The **** atmosphere doesn’t help. I said it before, we just don’t play well in empty buildings.

Nobody else seems to have a problem winning there.

 

[CyGuy5]

Oklahoma State has lost to:
Kansas by 32
Tech by 38
K-State by 28
Arizona by 14
Utah by 21

There is no excuse for this

 

[ClonerJams]

Our wins since the Arizona game are TCU, UCF, Cinci, and Colorado. We haven't beat anyone good in a long time.

It’s always interesting how every time people don’t believe this.

Do you say it every year?

 

[bosco]

Watching that first half made me want to kick a puppy.

 

[isufbcurt]

We go completely to **** this time every year. Try and keep the wheels on and hope for the best in a few weeks.

That’s what happens when you beat up the players and burn them out practicing as hard as we do.

 

[Old87]

I would rather watch the subs play with energy than the effort that our starters are putting in for this game.

 

[Erik4Cy]

Crazy how OSU had a flagrant 1 and a technical foul and ISU didn't take advantage whatsoever

 

[Cyburbbalz]

The **** atmosphere doesn’t help. I said it before, we just don’t play well in empty buildings.

Nah something else is going on

 

[IcSyU]

Honestly we're really lucky they've been ******* terrible on open threes or this would be a 25 point game at half.

 

[awd4cy]

K-State and Oklahoma State this year have to be two of the worst losses in ISU history outside of the tournament, right

Idk, this is equivalent of the Tech road losses under hoiberg when they were horrible.

 

[Malone]

Ya know who doesn’t play like this? Teams that have an actual shot of getting to the final four.

The talent isn’t quite there yet and on nights like this where the drive/consistency isnt there either, it becomes obvious how much we’ve overachieved
