    Cam Lard and rebounding regression

    Wasn't Lard often on the court with another big last year, compared to this year when he never is? What I see in Lard is someone who plays within himself really well. He takes a lot of high percentage shots (mostly dunks). But the low rebounding is a head scratcher. I think a lot of it has to...

    Living and dying on the defensive rebound

    Some people have suggested playing two bigs at once. I don't know if that's really the problem with our rebounding. I think the other team is just going after the ball harder than we are. There were a few times in the Baylor game where Baylor stripped the ball from one of our guys, or was just...

    MAILBAG: Filling in for Fitzy

    Interesting picks of starting Conditt over both Jacobson and Young and assuming Wigginton is going to the NBA after this season. Conditt has shown some promise for sure.

    MIDWEEK MAILBAG: I'm taking over for this week ... FIRE AWAY

    What is Iowa State's best defensive lineup? Why do you think ISU has been getting out-rebounded so badly?

    *** Official Eastern Illinois VS IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I have cyclones.tv but can't watch the game live. How long does it normally take them to post a replay?

    Bruce Weber is an Excellent Coach

    I was shocked that K-State was able to play with UK considering Wade was out and UK had such a huge size advantage. I kept waiting for the shoe to drop but it never did.

    Expectations for 2018-2019

    I'm a little less optimistic than some others in this thread, mostly because people seem to assume that NWB and Young will be completely healthy and remain so the whole year. But look at Hans Brase this year. He appeared to have recovered from his injury, only to see it relapse. Also, everyone...

    Texas has no chance

    I would have guessed the line at Texas by 10. P.S. I also remember being let down so badly by this game in 2012. I was looking forward to watching the rest of the Big 12 tournament with my dad that weekend. I do remember Royce White made one of the slickest plays all year by throwing a full...

    *** Official IOWA STATE Vs Oklahoma Gameday Thread ***

    We are not a great passing team in general, and I think that’s why we have few assists. But part of the problem is having too few scoring options. If Jackson is open in transition, he needs to take that three, not pass it to Jakolby.

    *** Official Oklahoma State Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

    Some posters are bringing up our injuries. That’s part of it, but we played poorly in a lot of games when we were full strength. Was anyone out for Maryland Eastern Shore? Quite frankly, the surprising thing about this year is not that we lost seven games in Hilton, it’s that we beat three...

    *** Official IOWA STATE Vs West Virginia Gameday Thread ***

    Can someone with a higher basketball IQ tell me why Lard never touched the ball in the first half? Was WVU trying hard to deny it to him, or do we not know how to feed him? Looked to me like Wigginton and Lewis were trying to do too much off the dribble. I'm getting frustrated in our lack of...

    *** Official IOWA STATE Vs Kansas State Gameday Thread ***

    Our defense was pretty good in the first half (and K-State missed a lot), but I am discouraged by a few things: 1) Talley saving the ball from going out of bounds by throwing it blindly toward half court, leading to a K-State lay up. Really should know better than to do that. 2) Wig/Jackson...

    *** Official Oklahoma Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

    Wigginton hit a clutch three down the stretch, but in the moment I felt he was trying to do too much near the end of the game. I was surprised we weren’t trying harder to feed Lard in the post because he’s so efficient. I’ve noticed in our home wins that the opponents have shot really poorly...

    *** Official IOWA STATE Vs Texas Tech Gameday Thread ***

    Yeah, but Lard has to be smarter than to commit the second foul he did, which kept him out of most of the first half. The tech player did a pump fake, and got Lard to land on top of him. I have to say that watching our players bite on pump fakes is one of the most frustrating things. Wigginton...

    ** Official Tennessee Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

    Our struggles aren't due to one thing in particular, but to many things, such as: 1) Thin upper classes from Fred leaving, related to 2) Making our freshmen carry a heavy load 3) Not having forwards who can hit outside shots like we had in Ejim, Niang, Hogue, nor big guards who can post up...

    ** Official Texas Tech Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

    Great game from the Clones. Lard dominated the first half, and the guards were impressive in the second half. We’re not as deep as past teams, but we’ve got multiple scoring threats. Five guys in double figures! I should add that we got a lot of help from Tech. Keenan Evans had a horrible day...

    *** Official IOWA STATE Vs TCU Gameday Thread ***

    I was going to write this exact thing. I will add that the problem I saw in the pick 'n roll was Brase was coming up too high in the paint to guard Robinson, even when Wigginton went under the screen. So now both Wigginton and Brase are defending Robinson, vacating the paint for Brodziansky. And...

    *** Official IOWA STATE Vs Oklahoma State Gameday Thread ***

    The team played well most of the game. I could not believe the 17-0 run in the first half. I did not see that coming after how poorly we played to start the game (so many long twos!) Clones did a great job of forcing contact on drives, and with a few exceptions, we didn’t take contested jumpers...

    *** Official Appalachian State Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

    That Jeff Prohm is a helluva coach. I was really impressed with both Cameron Lard and Nick Weiler-Babb, and the whole team really. Every aspect of basketball was better executed Thursday than it was against Milwaukee. I was shocked to see us take so many threes, and to make so many of them...

    People Of Earth Series

    Yes, I've tried to watch every episode. I watched the pilot just to pass the time, but I liked it so much I had to watch the following episodes. It's funny to think about aliens having computer problems and suffering from the same office politics that affect humans. The season finale is...
