*** Official Texas Vs #20 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[Blandboy]

Despite the ugliness, I’m actually more optimistic about the game in Austin now. I would elaborate but I’m pretty sure everybody is sick of me whining about zones.

Now that we’ve seen their zone, CSP will have them prepped and ready. And no way we shoot this poorly as team against them again.

Halliburton needs to be more assertive on offense.

Haliburton has to be on the floor and have the ball to be more assertive on Offense. Unless you think he should scream at his team mates to let him run the show (I might agree with this).

Absolutely shocking Tyrese was on the bench in this game for as long as he was in both halves.

Tyrese was on the floor for 26 of the 34 second half points. Not a coincidence. (Edit should've added that this was impressive considering he only played first 5.5 mins and final 5.5 mins of 2nd half) And in the final 5 mins had 2 huge assists and a bucket.

Haliburton needs to be on the floor more because he is our most willing passer and most willing to set up others to score. Without him on the floor we turn into the ISO Kings and the Offense gets stale.

Prohm didn’t miss all those shots.

No ****. Normal days from Shayok and NW and this is a blow out.

Held the redheaded fella in check and really made Roach have to have a great game which is a good plan.

He had 24 minutes Wednesday night and all went well.

Agree he's important but that wasn't the reason it was a close game.

Stop finding ways to bash Prohm for winning a close game on a bad shooting day.

I like Haliburton, too. But I hate how he frequently passes up shots to get the ball to a lower percentage shooter on the 3-point line.

 

[CycloneErik]

Some of you never miss an opportunity to take shots. This doesn't describe the game at all.

Naw, I'm sure the run right out of a timeout was purely an accidental coincidence rather than effective coaching from a guy who's proven that he's got what it takes.

I'm just saying he passes up a lot of wide open shots. I think everyone agrees he needs to be on the floor more.

Shayok missed 7 point blank at rim shots...not double taps etc..7 diff shots on 7 diff possessions...that is 14 pts..and it’s not like they were reverses or crazy hard shots...

Idk what to say about that game other than we are fortunate to escape.

Yep lid was on the hoop for him and he still was nails late and tbe team.

You can say ISU showed how tough they can be when it's a tough day.

C. lard needs to start , Jacobson is weak and plays terrible D

Bash Prohm? What the heck are you talking about. My response was to someone that said Tyrese needed to be more assertive on Offense! Try reading. And certainly do not mis-quote me to feed one of your narratives.

Aolpologies....your post seemed familiar to a few...

Yeah I hated how MJ showed his weakness by hitting a 3 and fighting for rebounds.

 

[ISUChippewa]

He didn't do a whole lot in the 2nd half that I noticed, but he was one of our best players in the first half. That 3 pointer he hit to put us back up by 4 going into halftime was a huge shot.

Some rotations were missed but ISU's perimeter was also leaky today at times.

Texas's bigs didn't get too wild which was really important.

Well maybe I struggled passing on tone in my post. This is the first time I have posted in Men's forums this season. However, Taking mins from Haliburton in a close game when 2-3 others aren't getting it done is probably the first gripe I have had with Prohm all year.

I realize that Tyrese only played 24 against WVU but he sat for the last 10 mins of that game cause we were up 20

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

CYCLONES WIN!!!!!!!!!

 

[CloneGuy8]

Just an FYI, Ole Miss playing Miss St on SEC network right now. Old Miss up 60-59 w/ 10 minutes left. Hopefully they can get this W to help our resume

At this point in his career with his slow, low release Haliburton needs to be wide open to shoot 3s. He just isn't going to get up that many shots. He is the ultimate "glue" guy at this point.

Fun playing time stats from today...

Nick passed TH for playing the most minutes this season (of 745 and 743, respectively). Tyrese is averaging 33.7 but only played 26 against WVU and UT-Austin.

Nick is an iron man. He is averaging 33.8 per nigh (and 36.5 since B12 play started up).

Cameron played 21 and Michael 19 -- first time Lard has exceeded Jacobson.

LW also had 28 and Shayok was going Wednesday.

Halli may have been effective but if some layups simply go in it's a non-issue.

LW is streaky but you also know he can hit a big 3 at anytime like today.
