*** Official Ole Miss vs #15 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Watson zero minutes.

I could be wrong....but zero transition/fast break points (Keshon dependency on that of course).

Passion? also missing......que the A bridge too far meme. nonexistent.

Some dudes on our roster just get fouls called on them and don't ever get a call. It is haircut related.

Momcilovic and jones shot us out of this game

Jones only one scoring outside of Jefferson at start inside.

Milan has had a couple games where he struggled in the 1st half and got hot in the 2nd. Really need him to hit a couple quick shots here.

It was the difference in the first half. Down double digits, we’ll need a couple of 3s from him. Has to be better with Dia.

 

[t-noah]

Someone give me some hope here.

My goodness. Why do some of you even watch? If ISU made me as miserable as this board seems to be, I’d be giving up on sports all together. Sports are entertainment. If they’re a source of despair in your life, turn them off and find a new hobby.

A pedestrian SEC team took us to the woodshed for a half. Hope we can answer this gut check & show some moxie here.

Man I get it but with no Kishon and Tamin being a shell of himself it’s just hard. We can’t get to the rim

Someone needs to look Milan in the eye and say, you want to be MVP of the tournament? The second half is yours to do it in.

 

[CloneLawman]

Let's channel some Hilton north and east.

 

[Rogue52]

I expect a better second half but we got a hole to dig ourselves out of.

Bottom line, this team isn’t going to win any game without Keshon and Milan shooting bricks.

Then it’s on us with not having enough depth. Injuries happen.

 

[CySmurf]

We definitely need the hot version this half

Both Milan and Curtis. These are the guys you have to have get hot to make a run in this tournament. They are our go-to guys. If they don't, we're sunk.

At what point do we pull the inevitable “make it a one score game and then immediately give up 10 straight points”

Doubt if that happens tonight. They look totally disinterested.

 

[Cyhig]

Enjoy the second half, cyclone friends. Win or lose, I appreciate this team. And if this is the final 20 minutes, I was to enjoy each second left

 

[ClonesFTW]

1 guy dribbling around in traffic while everyone else stands in place is not a quickness issue.

Opposing PG Friday was quickest on the floor, opposing PG today is quickest on the floor.

 

[ExCyment]

Honestly, the season has shown we never were a final 4 roster.

Everyone deals with injuries. Yes, we've had more than our share, but even the periods we were only down 1 guy we looked like a significantly worse team. Meanwhile true contenders like Houston and Auburn have played through games down players and maintained a higher level.

We were never down just one player. Often down 1 with 2 others playing with significant injuries.

 

[madguy30]

More or less down 2 starters who when healthy are all conference type players. I don't know what would be crazy about saying we are more like a 8-11 seed given those facts.

I mean they've hung with a Sweet 16 team, smoked a 14 as a 3 and are a handful of missed shots from being in this against a really good MS team.

Maybe a 5 but an 11 is just wild.

 

[ISUCubswin]

Sure, they went on a 20-2 run, but did they keep their use it or lose it timeout until the final possession of the half?

 

[legi]

They really being physical with Milan, and he hates it. Has to improve on that next year.

It was the same thing with him last year and he hasn’t improved. He is who he is.
