***NCAA First Round: (7) Iowa State vs. (10) Maryland [Fri., 6:30 CT]***

[CYDJ]

Not SINGLE thing going ISU's way here. My goodness.

 

[NorthCyd]

Maryland is hotter than fish grease.

 

[clonebb]

Getting smoked from three. Could get real ugly by half

 

[Tpups21]

Defense has been non-existent.

 

[CYDJ]

What…is Maryland shooting like 90%?

Not even close. 75.8% from the field. 88% from 3. Not 90!

 

[Cloneman89]

Sad to perform this way

 

[acoustimac]

Maryland is shooting 71% overall and 86% from three.

 

[swclone11]

Not going to say our defense is good, but Maryland can't miss. There's not a lot to do about that. But it seems like we should be down 20, not 13.

 

[CYDJ]

OK, so that is ALL the luck Maryland gets for the entire game. Now play D and don't count to 7 before closing out.

 

[exCYtable]

They'll cool off. Need to cut it to 8 or so by halftime and we'll be in it at the end.

People and their huge overstatements these days, pft.

 

[acoustimac]

Well…couldn’t have much worse happen in the first. Our three point shooting (when we get open which isn’t often) is off. That is the critical piece for ISU. Audi has essentially been neutralized by their hot shooting.

Being serious, there was not single thing that bounced their way that quarter. Occasionally you block a shot AND get the ball back instead of it being a prefect assist to the other team.

We've come back from larger deficits. Need to play better D though.

 

[Buster28]

Maybe try guarding the perimeter shooters in the 2nd quarter.

 

[legi]

We look so slow and weak. It’s tough to watch.

 

[BoxsterCy]

What…is Maryland shooting like 90%?

Pretty much mostly uncontested so you'd expect to hit ahigh percentage. On pace to score 80, just need to get them off a pace to score over 100.

 

[Cyched]

That shooting % won't hold up. We need to have a good quarter.

 

[Clonefan32]

Bill and Fred in a race to give up 120 points

 

[CYDJ]

They Missed!!!!!

 

[Cloneman89]

Took Ryan out for her lack of D. Way too late on close outs for
