*** Official #12 IOWA STATE vs Missouri Game(Day) Thread ***

[ClonesFTW]

I have no stress at all for this game, down 2 starters playing a good team on the road. It’s a house money situation - doesn’t hurt us with a loss.

 

[Halincandenza]

I know they don’t want to play fast but if you get past the first level of the press you can get a lot of easy buckets if you push it. When I watched the KU Mizzou game that’s how they took advantage and of course you can’t turn the ball over.

We didn't see Gabe after he took the knee to the ribs did we? We can't afford any more lingering injuries.

 

[dahliaclone]

Every away team down double digits at the half so far…

What? Tech is up 8 at LSU at the half

 

[NoCreativity]

We’ve been really bad on the road last 3 games

Maybe in February we'll actually get some Saturday home games. We've had 1 in 5 weeks and that was with no students there.

 

[CYDJ]

Inside out would be nice for some open looks.

May need to feed that suggestion to BRE.

No he was out there

 

[TClone99]

We need to find us a Kobe Brown this off-season.

I think we still pull this out. Going to be a different half and I think TJ will get them in position to take advantage of their overplaying everything. 74-70 us.

Clone need to win the first 4 minutes of the second half.

Have to win if we want to play in Des Moines, this will matter when it comes to seeding

 

[bizzle]

We played at their speed for most of the half. We need to dominate the flow of the game if we want to pull this one out.

 

[cstrunk]

It doesn't sound like anything, it's just reality.

Tell that to TJ and the team. I guarantee you there has been zero talk about this being a meaningless game. The goal is to win every game.

The only way that this game is meaningless is for the Big 12 standings. Like every other nonconference game. But you don't hear the meaningless talk for those games.

When have we ever played fast? We intentionally don’t.

I agree. Quick down court passing would get a few easy buckets. I don’t think Otz wants this to be an up and down game.

I heard we have a player Omaha Bilieu that fill that role?

 

[cyclonez7]

Our goal is to win the Big 12, this game means very little.

Inside out would be nice for some open looks.

Inside (not to Jones) out would be nice for some open looks. FIFY

I’m not saying it’s not an important game, but I’d this is a Big 12 game I’ll bet Grill plays.

 

[CycloneVet]

We are killing them on the glass, didn’t realize tgat

 

[Darius Bieber]

I guess we'll see if he plays on Monday

 

[CrossCyed]

Be interesting to see if we follow tradition and Bob comes in at the first media timeout again
