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

The announcers are painful to my ears.

Well, one of them has a jersey hanging in the rafters there, soooooooo...

 

[StLouisClone]

They are good and easy on the eye. Looks like a Hoiball team.

Hoiball with a great big in Kobe Brown

 

[alarson]

You dont think we get the benefit on calls at home?

Not anywhere to the degree we see on the road.

 

[twincyties]

This is maddening. Hold them to even 40% from three and this is neck and neck.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Same can be said for the wins, by 2 and by 3. One off of a buzzer beating 3 pointer.

I'd hardly call that sucking on the road, but hey, you go girl...

 

[Clonehomer]

Its entirely to the benefit of the SEC who needs more quality games this time of year. ESPN of course made it happen for them.

Did I hear one of the announcers say this was the final year?

 

[CYDJ]

Mizzou at 99.3% to win. It would be fun to make a run.

 

[Cyclones8824]

I get it’s rough to have bad games like this. But Bama is getting blown out by OU, Houston is down 11 to Cincinnati. Xavier got smoked by Creighton. Auburn lost to WVU. None of those teams are bad, good teams just hav rough games sometimes. Every needs to just calm down

 

[CoKane]

What other big on the team? Who can you name that is doing these things for you?

What other big was there last year?

We're back to make believing there's a bevy of players to choose from.

Ward isn't dribbling into triple teams, throwing up garbage shots, or bouncing the ball off his foot out of bounds

 

[madguy30]

Beat Tech. Let’s move on.

And guess what, the best ISU team ever was behind most of the game at a bad Tech team at the end of that season when ISU was playing as well as anyone in the country.

 

[alarson]

Did I hear one of the announcers say this was the final year?

Yep. Changing to SEC-ACC I believe.

 

[CYedUp]

What is the NCAA record for 3s in a game?

 

[madguy30]

Ward isn't dribbling into triple teams, throwing up garbage shots, or bouncing the ball off his foot out of bounds

Is he a serviceable big that can body up a bunch throughout a game? He's usually in the 3/4 spot.

 

[CY88CE11]

Wow. That's so very clearly off Missouri.

 

[CYDJ]

The refs are just enamored now. that was literally thrown out of bounds by Brown.

 

[CoKane]

Is he a serviceable big that can body up a bunch throughout a game? He's usually in the 3/4 spot.

He's a maybe, he hasn't played in conference enough to know. Jones can't though. Dude is bringing nothing to the table at all

Do all those other teams have injuries to their best player?

 

[fsanford]

All today is teams desperate for resume wins are playing with the hair on fire. Creighton, OU, Mizzou, blowing out good opponents, Cincinnati lead at Houston.

We're back to make believing there's a bevy of players to choose from.

Robert Jones has the 4th highest turnover average per game of any person on the team. Except for out of the top 6 people who turn it over the most on the team per game, he's the only person who plays less than 27 minutes a game. In fact, he plays less than 20 a game and still turns it over as much as Caleb Grill - but Grill plays almost double the minutes.

Ward averages the same amount of blocks and steals as Jones per game, in less than half the time. His FG % is also literally 20 percentage points higher than Jones. He averages less turnovers per minute than Jones and more points per minute than Jones too. He should be playing more.

 

[mjhavlo76]

Geez, Jones is more of a liability than good out there. This is painful…
