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

You're naming 4 guards like it's a football squad.

Is this for a 20 man roster?

Just saying, there are 2 scholarship guards not playing.

I expect we’ll make a run, hope it’s enough.

Need Milan to do SOMETHING in the second half. 1-7 with 3/4 of them being wide open isn’t a winning recipe.

But most importantly, need to shore up our defense. We aren’t winning this game giving up 80+ but we seem hell bent on repeating the BYU game in KC except for the shot making.

 

[NY Chicago Fan]

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

He's not going to drive by pressure defense but if he made 2 of the open threes he got it would have helped

 

[exCYtable]

We will flip the script 2nd half. We got this.

 

[ISU_Guy]

This is why I don’t think we are ever going to get past the sweet 16. We can’t put together 3-4 games straight offensively.

We just have guys that are all Americans one game and suck balls the next.

And offensively, we just don’t get easily looks

Someone give me some hope here.

You'll probably live to see the end of the game!

 

[Jayshellberg]

Feel bad for Tamin as he is a shell of himself with the injury.

 

[Walden4Prez]

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

What does that to do with what I posted?

 

[simply1]

Someone give me some hope here.

We usually come out with some fire after halves like that.

 

[CentexCyclone]

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

Mommy would do well with another 15 lbs of muscle for sure, but that won't change the fact that he just kinda' goes cold at inopportune times.

 

[KremitGreens]

There’s a lot that needs to be done this half. From coaching to hitting shots. It wasn’t a good half and they look exhausted.

How many open shots has Milan missed? Those are easy looks.

 

[Clonehomer]

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.

Watson is a fill in for Milan, not KG. I do not want Watson running the point in any situation.

 

[AlaCyclone]

Maybe there is some Magic up in the rafter of the Milwaukee Arena from the last time ISU was there and beat lSU and Wisconsin!

 

[twincyties]

I don’t understand why we stopped going into the middle. Need to start running offense through Jefferson in the post again.

 

[madguy30]

Yes and who is out there that is really good that wants to be on the bench as a 5th guard?

 

[Malone]

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.

Care to point out who’s being miserable? I see a lot of rational points and criticisms being made.

 

[FarmerCy1]

I believe we’re gonna turn this around in the 2nd, but if we do, we have to stop digging holes this deep

 

[Thomasrickj]

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.

Lipsey has been hurt most of the season. Momcilovic missed a lot of time. Gilbert is out. The injuries for us are worse than most other teams have had to go through.
