*** Official #12 IOWA STATE vs #17 BYU Game(Day) Thread ***

[RagingCloner]

more ******** foul calls i see

 

[Al_4_State]

you guys do realize we are missing open looks, CUJO, Mom, Heise....hit shots like the other team is!

The other team is shooting over 80% from 3.

If you are shorthanded you have to value the ball and the bad habits of ISU not valuing the ball really gets magnified in a game like this.

We have one turnovers. We are valuing the ball.

You just have no chance giving the best shooting team in the league open 3s eeverywhere. The only chance we have to ever beat BYU with our defensive philosophy is they shoot terrible and the stats say that's unlikely.

Playing a trap defense against BYU is.... not ideal.

Yes, I know it's TJ's bread n butter defense. But BYU shredded the traps a couple weeks ago. We're short 2 guards- we need to play straight up man defense. It's more important to contest 3's than cause TO's.

Offense is going to be tough if we can't get fast-break and post points.

Lol these refs are ridiculous

 

[Malone]

The dumb fouls from Dishon and Jefferson cannot happen if we’re to have a chance

 

[Stumbles]

I like that.

 

[CentexCyclone]

I think we are getting "good Jefferson" today.

BYU ML +142 btw

Where did you see that? I was happy to get it at +110 yesterday on DraftKings

 

[ChickenNuggetMan]

Not a single thing going well right now

 

[Nor'MidWester]

Can't afford to be missing these layups and dunks. Anyways the most important thing is to get healthy, this game doesn't really matter, besides pride.

 

[Erik4Cy]

A dramatic reminder that good offense beats good defense - especially at this time of the season. BYU is a well-oiled, confident machine. We look like we’re built from spare parts

A ways to go talent-wise

Two of our best defenders are injured.

We just swatted them at the rim and led to a run out dunk for ISU. BYU is just not missing from 3pt.

 

[Inthesystem]

Was wondering this too. Said he was going to jump on like an hour after the postgame show yesterday for an injury update but never did. Been checking all morning and nothing.

He had a very short update video on YouTube.

 

[ianoconnor]

Need Milan to put up some points if we're going to have a shot

 

[Cychl82]

I feel bad for anyone that drove to KC for this game. This is gonna be a brutal watch.

Dont count them out yet. BYU is going to start coming down from their 3 pt cloud a little at least

 

[ChickenNuggetMan]

MOMMY

 

[CentexCyclone]

Cyclones good so far on defensive glass.

 

[Die4Cy]

Saunders is such a little *****

 

[alenz95]

Love what we're seeing from J-Jeff. Not sure we can win this without Lispey and KG, but if we can get everyone else right heading into next week ill take it.

Call that flop a tech!
