Gameday Thread--ISU vs. Texas

[CycloneErik]

We should be winning this game...

Yeah, we should. The opportunities are out there for us to shock the nation. Let's get this done before they get all cranked up.

 

[CyFan987]

Anyone else wish we would have called time out after we got the rebound at the end of the half? I think we could have run a play but I'm not sure.

Would have been nice

 

[cycloneworld]

We really can't afford to come out flat for the first 4-5 minutes like we have a tendency to do.

And I really, really like what I see with Hamilton.

Anyone know why Buckley isn't getting any burn?

Tell me Greg isn't moving this program in the right direction. A bunch of Sophs and Freshman playing well on the road against a top ten team. Can't wait for this thing to get balanced out with some experienced upper classmen.

Mac's system is interesting. It's the kind of system that makes it hard to blow teams away, so our scores against the poor teams don't look very impressive. However, it's also the kind of system that allows us to hang with very good teams. I imagine there are some frustrated Longhorns sitting in the locker room right now.

Craigerz needs to learn how to draw fouls better. If they are triple teaming him, he needs to be able to either handle the ball/pass better, or have the strength to put up a DECENT shot under pressure.

I'm tired of hearing we are young, next you will tell me this is like Mac's 1st year.......:skeptical:

They've been awakened

 

[Wesley]

Shhhhhh. Dont wake them.

What? We are no younger than some other teams in the Big 12. That is just an excuse for ineptitude.

How about their fans. I wonder if their Interweb people are having a nice meltdown.


His system seems to keep us especially close against Texas, time in and time out.

It's a system that's designed to benefit us more during the conference season.

We need to swing it where instead of the system letting worse teams hang with us and beat us, it allows for us to beat better teams.

 

[liljones13]

Attack! that is all... We will suprise the nation today i think..

 

[Clones21]

We need to come out and put the ball down low witch i think mcd will have them do..if we dont do it early, it could get very ugly.


PS- NO BAD SHOTS LUCCA!

 

[CyFan987]

Is it just me or has the Golf Digest commercial been on way too much?

 

[2forISU]

We need another true point guard.

 

[Wesley]

:arghh:Young excuses is for darts and soccer. Bball - look at HB - he is young and better than our players. Youth is no excuse.

 

[CycloneErik]

Maybe we're young enough that we don't know this should be too difficult for us to win.

That said, the freshmen aren't playing a whole lot in this one. I think Hamilton is the only freshman I've seen out there.

No one on BurntOrangeNation.com seems to care.

 

[helechopper]

We need to get Brakins going in the second half. He needs to score at least 20 for us to win.

We gotta weather the Texas "D" storm we all know is coming in the second half.

Rebound, rebound, rebound.

Get to the line. (Tim Floyd style)

ISU shocks the world.

Total and unabashed Ham fanboy here.

I'm thinking of starting an official fan club. The name "Ham Club" is already taken by Subway, though.

Agreed. I was just going to say... for some reason I now have a strong urge to go order Golf Digest.
