Crowd sucked tonight

[Cycsk]

Maryland (and ISU to a lesser extent) took the crowd out early. You could tell teh crowd was waiting for a reason to cheer, would get excited, and they'd bury a 3.

It's kinda a vicious cycle, but the team needs to play better to make the crowd better.

Maryland was the perfect example of how to take a crowd out of the game. They just shot daggers.

44% on the game isn't exactly amazing. But they did a good job of not going cold for an extended period of time so ISU couldn't ever go on a big run to get the crowd whipped into a frenzy. Those are frustrating games to watch. SDSU did the same things to KU last year. We tried but it seemed like every time we got loud they hit a tough shot.

I was watching on tv and saw empty ROWS starting at about the 6 minute remaining mark.

There were empty rows from the first min. Duh, this is not the B12 tourney. My guess is most leaving early were not fans of either team. I was there and clone fans did all they could to support. Even applauded their team when they came through the hotel lobby after the game. Stop trolling and head over to your own site.

This. I was there as well. We couldn't buy a basket in the 2nd half. But a couple times we really got after it defensively and then the crowd would rise to its feet and get into it. As poorly as we played, i t was a 2 possession game with about 1:30 left.

I remember looking at the stats and seeing 16/54 FG - about a 28-29% clip and only 7 assists. We did not share the ball or movie it well. Maryland did a great job of controlling the pace and making us work on the defensive end. I thought Maryland's game plan was well executed and now our opponents have a blue print of how to slow us down.

Too true, but I trust Fred. He will have a plan.
