Yup the whole offense was so putrid to start the game against Iowa. Nothing they did made sense. No ball movement or attacking the basket against a slower Iowa team and just standing around hoisting up long 3s (which they are not good at shooting). I can't remember exactly what it was but we were at like 16 points with under 10 left in the first half. That should never happen against that defense. It was like Iowa hit a couple 3s and we felt like we needed to or something.
Yeah I'm not sure you can analyze the outcome from the game anymore than Iowa State just got outplayed in every aspect of the game by Iowa. Iowa took control early and never let go. But yes, Halliburton is an incredible talent who will only continue to get better. I'm hoping he comes back next year for the sake of our team and the love I have for his game at ISU, but if there's a legitimate shot of him being a lottery pick, I don't see how he stays. We'll see though, these projections are still just projections and it's very early into the season. Other guys could come onto the scene and bump Halliburton out. If Tyrese is a projected late first rounder / second rounder, I would be fairly confident he'd come back next season.
I keep telling them that too but they just won't listen to me.
I agree. The conference schedule is going to be tough. The BIG 10 is looking like it will be a bloodbath every week.
Going after a true Freshman from a team that pummeled you in Hilton? He looked decent that night. Starting the 1st game of his career away from home against a pretty good defensive team. Don't really care what you think. As a Hawk fan, I think I'll cut him some slack.
