ISU vs. Texas A & M Gameday Thread

I expect them to play with the same effort and intensity on the defensive end that they always do...

We usually go into "crap parts" of the game, but they're hardly ever because of a lack of hustle, or intensity on defense like today...I can tolerate cold shooting, guys making tough shots against us, and an occasional brainfart on the court...what annoys the hell out of me, is when a guard drives past our guy, and then our other 4 guys stand and watch as he drives into the lane for an uncontested layup...this has happened multiple times today...

still waiting on you to prove to me where i said we were playing good? our d is **** poor.
 
I would love for someone to call into gmacs show on Monday to ask his opinion on why we fold every game in the 2nd half? I think I know the answer but I'd like to hear what he would say.

Defenses tighten up on CB, he goes cold, and no one else can make shots. We don't have anyone that keeps defenses honest except for CB, and when he's not hitting, we are easy to defend.
 
Down 26 with 10 min to go.

Would this be the largest comeback in the last 10 minutes in NCAA history?

WE CAN DO IT!
 
show me once were i said we were playing good?

Well you called me an "idiot" and a "moron" for ripping on our lack of hustle and intensity on defense...so I just assumed you disagreed.

And yes, I realize A&M is better than us...and no, I didn't come into this game expecting to win...but I sure as heck expected us to play hard and smart, whether our shots dropped or not.
 
Screw this. Cleaning my apartment is going to be more entertaining that watching this crap.
 
Announcer had it exactly right, there. Game turned when they doubled Brackins.

If we just had someone else to step up and hit some shots when they do that, we're still in it. Unfortunately, we flounder in that respect. Not sure what it is, coaching, or players not executing. I find it hard to believe that we don't have a game plan for when a team doubles your best player, so it is really pointing at execution.

What to do about it is a whole different can of worms.

Why wouldn't you double/triple the only guy on the team that can score? Seems foolish not to.

well you know what they say about assuming.
