2011 Thread: Just Got Back From The Game and My Current Take on The MBB Team

[Jnecker4cy]

The Iowa State Men's Basketball Team is a lazy, poorly coached, no hustle, panic when it counts, underacheivers.

Other than the play of Gibson, for the to short of time he got to play, there was nothing positive to take from this game, nothing.

Wasted a great crowd tonight, might not be many more like that. Very uninspired basketball.

Thank God you made it back safely with the sky falling and all.

Agree 100%.

So some fight...lazy screens/defense/passing (looking at you Scott)

 

[CyBer]

I disagree with this thread, lot's of positives tonight (except coaching)

 

[cy4prez7]

Every single one of those things is fixable...I'm not worried. yet...

I live 8 miles from the Hilton and WILL NOT show up to watch this kind of petty, lazy, selfish play . . not at 5 bucks or 25.

I'm not ready to say the sky is falling, but I don't disagree with anything that he posted. We are likely headed for another losing season (ok, technically last year was a non-winning season). That would make 6 in a row. Just more of the same for the Cycylones. We suck at basketball again. Nothing new.

I am fine, but the sky is not falling, it has already fell. I hope you noticed I said current team. This team has talent, but has showed no signs of using that talent as a team. This current team could surprise us, but nothing points to that happening right now.

I think Bubu deserves some credit too. I thought he played a solid game.

 

[scyclonekid]

Our team right now plays street ball not TEAM BALL.

Thank God. The less people in Hilton like this the better.

Spot on! I thought Bubu played pretty well at times too though.

UNI just knows how to play the game... we don't. We play like we think we do, but we don't. UNI has to be laughing all the way back to Cedar Falls tonight. I can just hear them now..... "Man, ISU thought they were all that didn't they? But they really weren't very good at all. That wasn't really that hard of a game to win.".

 

[scyclonekid]

Bubu does not get enough credit, start the man.

Other than Gibson's play in the short time he got tonight, what did you see that was positive. I saw a team that missed lay ups, played lazy defense, were out positioned on rebounds, panicked when the game was on the line, was way outcoached, and has no pasion or hustle. This team played about 5 minutes of decent basketball tonight and that was when Gibson was in.

 

[scyclonekid]

Hmmmm looks like Fred has his work cut out for him. Lutz leaving is showing.

I didn't realize that 5 minutes was 3/4 of the first half.

Based off of this and your other thread... seriously, what game were you watching? I'm honestly curious what positives you saw.

Both teams played better than last year (last year's game was one of the most god-awful worst games of basketball I've ever watched), but all I saw was terrible defense and a lack of a cohesive offense. Bad.

 

[scyclonekid]

Well we didnt win the last five min. of the beginning half, five min. at the beginning second half or the last five min. of the second half

 

[TSquare77]

We lost to a better team, albeit a better team with SIGNIFICANTLY less talent. It was very frustrating to watch. Only positives are Percy looked very good and..it's still early. I sure hope Fred gets them communicating and playing like a TEAM. If I wanted to see 5 individual players all trying to get theirs, I'd watch the NBA. (Once they start playing again)

I'm struggling here.

If my math is right (and feel free to check it. It might not be): we scored 14 in the 1st 5 minutes, and then 14 for the rest of the first half. 3/4 of the first half was poor, lifeless play.
