*** #14 IOWA STATE vs Texas Tech Game(day) Thread ***

[ISUCY23]

I think Blum's C rating was a tad too high for this officiating crew.

 

[tim_redd]

I don't even know what to say. I'm so tired of watching this ****.

 

[CyArob]

Every game is like this. Either ISU makes the plays down the stretch or the opponent does.

The "Comeback Kids" have to find a new nickname for this year.

What a ******* disappointing season. Preseason top 5 to 6th place in the big 12

 

[Redman97]

We need to drop TTech from the schedule yesterday. B12 bylaws say we can drop one team. Look it up.

Pretty easy to get over this one...short handed, bad officiating taking points off the board and insane luck. Hopefully McKay gets on board and we're full strength between the ears when it matters.

This exact reason I have a bad feeling about the rest of the season. You can't help, as a team mate, but to have some bad blood against McKay, his ****** attitude cost us this game. I usually don't say anything negative about players, but that's just Bush league of him to put his teammates in this situation. His ****** attitude ****ed us. I hope I'm wrong, but this type of loss can really put us in a tailspin.

I usually look at his grades and then drop them a letter or 2 down. This one was clearly a D- or an F

Remember when Hoiberg exceeded expectations in the Big 12 every year?

 

[MTHawkeyes43]

The Clones are team that does not value possessions. Every time they built a lead in the game they did it playing patient half court offense.

 

[ISU42]

Should have won in regulation. Hate when we settle for a 3 when there is plenty of time to get a good shot to end the game or half.

The choke squad has a nice ring to it.

Texas Tech WTF.... sorry folks, we show up part time. That's the MO of this team. It's why KU has won for so long and we underperform. You have to show up every freaking night. Shorthanded is an excuse. ISU is the better team even without McKay or Naz.

[demoncore1031]

At least Georges only had 2 TOs tonight.

 

[TruClone]

F McKay. His absence, even when playing, has cost us games.

 

[Dandy]

Well the game is over. Back to the Cabo conversation.

 

[tejasclone]

Really hope people don't blame this game on the refs, because that is definitely what lost this game.

As is usually the case with us, the loss was a combination of ISU making multiple terrible decisions PLUS the zebras suffering from a curious case of selective attention. If ISU makes one less terrible decision OR the refs make one less terrible call (hello goaltending) in regulation, ISU wins this game. Neither happened.

 

[Freebird]

This season is close to entering train wreck territory. But at least we get to hear about how wonderful the Hawks are doing. Good for them.

What a disappointing season this is turning into. Texas won't be easy on Saturday folks. Might be doing it without McKay again.
