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

[cyphoon]

63-43 with less than 12 to go. Doesn't seem like we can even get to 63 from here.

Our game plan for pounding it inside has failed miserably. No inside-out passing when they collapse the D, and no passing between big men like we saw so much this year. Just pound and pound the ball NBA style until they steal it.

Of course, the inside/out game only works if someone can hit a shot from distance.

Fine. You win. Happy now?

Hard to have depth when you refuse to play more than 8 guys no matter what.

RIP in peace

Hit the portal. Every last one of you ******* prideless *****.

U might want to turn the game off.

One thing that I hope we can figure out over the next few years is how to keep players on the same page. Injuries are going to happen and that's really not anyone's fault. And that's why the end of this year is a bit of a disappointment. But I do think that we need to figure out how to handle a team without things turning toxic with certain players.

 

[ClonesFTW]

Just never mind.

There are situations teams plan for over hours of prep but that's apparently not something you can grasp so I'll let you believe Watson would have been the difference or whatever direction you're trying to go here.

Ya man, what if something that never happens (Jones foul trouble) happens? We can’t possibly try something different when we’re down 20.

Man miss had us scouted....great coaching by beard.

Beard has great strategy watching us miss wide open 3s and terrible from the line. And his game plan also relied on a lack of ball pressure with Ke and Tamin injured.

Meanwhile teams like FAU, VCU, Loyola and Wichita State have made the final 4

So yeah it can happen for anyone.

Thanks for clarifying.

Would you rather have had those teams' seasons this year?

 

[dirtyninety]

The Paul brothers could beat us 2-5 tonight.
AEW commercial is exciting.
soccer commercials....good greif....ok, good we are on TBS. maybe nobody is watching this turd.

I think we need to stop drinking the koolaid each year and just anticipate that making the tournament might be the ceiling each year.

Kelderman has been the least of their problems tonight. Not one guy has played well.

 

[helechopper]

For those saying that the Clones have “given up”, there couldn’t be anything further from the truth.

 

[Raiders70]

Vegas really ****** up on this game lol

Vegas doesn't like Ole Miss. North Carolina was favored to beat them in round 1 which made even less sense than the ISU line.

Remember everyone, this is actually your fault for not spending enough of your money on this. If these guys were making $200,000 instead of $150,000, we’d only be down by 10.

He actually did it! Hahahhahahhahahahha

Hard to have depth when you refuse to play more than 8 guys no matter what.

Again. Fine. Happy now?

 

[HouClone]

I thought the Pitt game was bad but this is worse. We're a higher seed, favored, and getting blown out.

 

[ABECyguy]

I find it interesting when they interviewed Beard in the first 5 minutes he was talking about conditioning. He could tell we were gassed 5 minutes in.

As others have said in some of the transfer recruiting threads, we need to be deeper. Need guys 6-10 on the bench to be playable. This roster is very limited with the injury to Gilbert (and Lipsey)

 

[GTO]

Our body language is not good.

 

[deadeyededric]

Gilbert wouldn’t of made a difference tonight anyways

Not if Milan can't hit outside. The offense was built around Gilbert slashing and Milan stretching the floor to open up the lane.
