*** Official #23 Tennessee vs #6 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[KCyclone2010]

Need to crash the boards. I really don’t know why we are just watching. Be aggressive

 

[Cyched]

Some of these RBs have been effort plays. I’m sure TJ has noticed. Clean that up and keep this D up

 

[RagingCloner]

I almost hate to say this, but I think Iowa State is significantly better than Tennessee, were just not playing like it yet

 

[not-the-manager]

Momcilovic has to get going. Keep shooting. The offense already looks better than I was worried might be the case, but he’d blow the doors open

 

[Koala]

I know nothing about Tennessee so I don't know how much better they can get, but I know we can react better to the rebounding opportunities and our reliable scorers can get into the game and I have no reason to think we won't.

 

[HoustonClone]

If someone knocks Carey on his ass it’ll be well deserved.

Dude plays basketball like he's clearing out linemen on a football screen play.

 

[Clone5]

It is smart we are keeping the pace up to negative their rebounding some.

 

[helechopper]

You can see where Tennessee just has those giant beefy unskilled ************* that are just there to rebound kick it out and let the skill players score the points. Not surprising, but interesting to see in action.

I think the rebounding is correctable. We're just not going toward the ball. Several times we are watching. Can't defend well for 26 seconds and then stand and watch. That's on us.

Buchanan multiple times has just stood around and watched. He needs to step up the intensity.

 

[AuH2O]

Toure's mental toughness is elite for a young kid in a new country, not many could step up like he has after struggling like he did towards the end of the regular season

Yes sir. He really was in a slump. To come back in season like that shows a lot of toughness.

We are. They are just massive body wise.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

This defensive pressure will break them. There best shot is a rebound.

 

[BlitzkriegCy]

I am one with, Toure.

 

[cyatheart]

Gotta get Milan shots

 

[helechopper]

I would just chuck the ball at the hoop if I was Tenn. that would be my offense

That IS their offense.

 

[Clone95]

Their bigs won’t be getting every rebound when they’re doubled over from being run up and down the floor.

 

[JCity]

Buchanan multiple times has just stood around and watched. He needs to step up the intensity.

Looks scared

 

[ianoconnor]

Rocky Top is an elite fight song. I'll give them that.

 

[Nor'MidWester]

Batemon shouldn't have two shot attempts while momchilavic has none. (I might have the stats wrong lol)

Batemon needs to drive to get something going get some confidence back.
