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

I got ripped all year for saying last years team was better. Just delusional to think otherwise.

Our bigs had way more energy last year.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Disagree. ISU is a 3 seed and Mississippi is a 6 seed. This loss is not about money.

Yes it is. They have the Joe's. You know they can afford to with their $EC money

TJ can only do so much. At the end of the day the kiddos have to go out there and play and play their asses off. TJ can scream and yell and motivate all he wants but he’s not on the court.

Maybe a certain style of play requires more than only 8 viable pieces to last an entire season.

 

[Clonefan32]

Quit blaming the season on one shot. If that killed the season, then these players are the weakest minded players to ever play the game.

Yah it’s beyond time to let that one go

 

[alarson]

Heise might be our best player

The one bright spot of the second half of the season it feels like.

 

[helechopper]

Dorks.

 

[AlCyJim]

got the tv

The announcers are telling it like it is, and it’s hard to disagree.

on but listening to John and Eric and reading the board thinking about all the free time I will have in 10 minutes and it is just frustrating to watch the projections fall short, men and women. that is a Cyclone fans ending

Yeah, but you also don't make 5 Sweet 16's in 15 years because you are lucky either.

You do lose all five of those games for reasons that aren’t luck related. That’s the entire point. Losing tonight and scoring 41 points against Pitt wasn’t luck either.

8-8 since that game.

 

[dirtyninety]

ARe they going to get 100?

 

[Cychl82]

You don't think Tamin has pride for Iowa State?

He’s the only one I’ve noticed playing harder than anyone

 

[CycloneBamaFan]

Lipsey must be in bad shape. He makes two drives to the basket and he goes to the bench. Tough kid.

 

[cyatheart]

It's not that guys aren't trying.,,it's not like that stretch vs byu...it's just total ass kicking in the game plan and we don't make shots when they are open

 

[Jim Walden’s Follies]

Can’t wait for CW to shamelessly defend this coaching staff after the absolute mismanagement the last 60 days and a completely pathetic

Coaching matters…

 

[cyfanbr]

You all ready for this come back? Moving on to beer brand #3. The first two brands were bad luck, but the third one has to be the one that brings us good luck, right?

 

[cycloneworld]

I think in general we have over-estimated our talent. Milan, he has one good game for every 3 games? He isn't the go to scorer we want him to be, too passive, not strong enough physically / mentally to be the go to guy. That doesn't mean he is a bad player, but he is just ok.

No. We were in the KenPom top 10 all year and only dropped a couple of spots even with all of the injuries. This team is good and can be good. But they have a really bad tendency to have shittastic games like this way too frequently to be an elite team.

 

[ISUTex]

Again. Fine. Happy now?

What a dumb question.

 

[quasistellar]

Well at least I can just watch White Lotus with the rest of my evening

I can't even do that since the wife will kill me if I watch it without her (she's working nights)

 

[Dante]

I'm staying for the comeback.
