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

22-10 rebound advantage to Tennessee lol

 

[not-the-manager]

I’ve hardly seen Buchanan “standing around.” He’s in horrible position to rebound because he’s stepping up to help when Tennessee gets penetration. Unless it’s Gillespie I think you need to live with that and just stay glued to whichever giant is under the hoop

 

[Cyclones01]

Milan's offense is the least of our problems right now. Have to be better on the boards. Don't even need to win the second half on the boards, just need to not get dominated

 

[cloneclone]

Buchanan needs to wake up. No court presence at all. Completely lost on defense and only has 2 rebounds.

In his defense he's usually left 1 on 2 down low

 

[RonBurgundy]

We play excellent defense for 25 seconds and then give up an easy shot, or we force them into a distant 3, but give up the offensive board. Super frustrating. Jefferson is a huge loss in this game on the boards.

 

[Cardinal2001]

Iowa State with 11 points off of Tennessee turnovers in the first half. Good.

I think there will be more 2nd half. TN isn't reacting well to the D

 

[Istater4life]

I hate to keep picking on Blake, but he seems out of it tonight. Not like he's getting physically dominated but just not trying and out of position constantly. Need him to get it going.

 

[Cyburbbalz]

Team is tough as nails

 

[Skyh13]

Honestly shocked we're still in this. They have 2 more offensive rebounds than he have total rebounds. Not sure I've seen anything like it

Against a team that could shoot, ISU wouldn't be.

 

[cowgirl836]

Uhhhh that doesn't seem great???

 

[sj4]

I'm trying to figure out how these guys are a 6 seed.

 

[harimad]

TJ needs to pull a Brenda Frese and get in Buchanan's face and challenge him to lock in and stop being ******* distracted.

 

[Old87]

It’s looking good for the Cyclones. We have seen this happen before. Tennessee is frustrated by the Cyclone defense. The Cyclones will blow the game open in the second half. Cyclone Power.

 

[ChickenNuggetMan]

See ball… go get ball. That’s all Blake needs to do. My god he’s just standing there

Taurean Prince needs to teach him

 

[RagingCloner]

Uhhhh that doesn't seem great???

He’ll be fine. **** ton of physical exertion

 

[AuH2O]

Guards need to snag a few more boards. Our bigs may be destined to lose that battle for the entire game.

H

Almost need the bigs to just body guys and no leaking out. 5 to the god damn glass like your life depends on it or go home.

 

[cyclones12321]

Nervous but this is what we do. Tennessee looks tired! Hopefully a similar outcome to Kentucky in the second half

 

[Die4Cy]

Honestly shocked we're still in this. They have 2 more offensive rebounds than he have total rebounds. Not sure I've seen anything like it

If I have it figured correctly they are only shooting about 34% for the game on shots not directly off of an offensive rebound. Have to get our hands on them or it is going to be close.

 

[AllInForISU]

Uhhhh that doesn't seem great???

Bill Russell threw up every game. He turned out ok.

 

[helechopper]

Are these SEC announcers?
