*** Official #13 IOWA STATE vs Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

Out coached is real simple, we blew a 23 point lead, TJ should have thrown a fit and got a T, just like Self does at KU. Show the officials, that they need to stop calling everything for the home team, and he will not stand for it.
Allow the players to refocus and tell the team that its us against the world, we are now playing not only TT, and their crowd, but also the refs. You would be surprised how often when Self does it his teams come out refocused and hammer home a win.
There have been multiple posters on here that have suggested corruption
/fixed and it’s downright dumb. It just gets old watching people blame every loss on the refs.
I don’t go to ISU and still can’t escape the consistent pain that is living and dying with Iowa State athletics
The officials gifted Tech AT LEAST 15 points in the second half off of bull **** “fouls”
Felt like we might pull it out after he made those. Couldn’t hang onto the ball or get crucial rebounds at the end of regulation.
Come on. He has a place, but he should probably play fewer minutes and learn to pass the ball out of the low post. We don't have another guy that can throw their weight around down there right now. HE's trying ve,ry hard and is just not producing at his best right now. he does a few good things here and there and they may be all we can expect.
Now, if you'd like to argue that occasionally we should go a little smaller and have King on their bigs, I might be up for that. I am anxiously awaiting the return of Jaz. I hope that will give us the boost to go the rest of the season with a little less bad BRE. With Jaz in, the middle can't get clogged as easily and BRE can do the quick move on one man when he has leverage. Now he is just pivoting into the second defensive player and turning the ball over too often.
Offensive flow and ball movement were so good in the first half. We have to have an offensive counter in the 2nd half when its inevitable the defensive intensity and aggressiveness is going to pick up. The tentativeness of out ball handlers and need to force up bad shots was extremely disappointing.

In a three-point OT loss it’s head scratching to see Tech got 14 more points from free throws than ISU did.
Tech made five more free throws than ISU attempted.
Those numbers are … weird.

@ISUChippewa why are you dumbing this fact? Are you still crying about Prohm getting sacked too?
Obviously tonight was not the night to do it. But if the officiating was truly that bad, TJ needs to rethink his calm demeanor. It didn't get do him any good tonight.
I think it became clear to the guys that the refs weren't going to let them play their game defensively. They got whistled for a bunch of fouls in the 2nd half. It became clear that the refs were going to call them often. Our guys went belly up, not wanting to foul out. Just a disgracefully poor officiating job
I wish this happened to me sometimes. I think think I may need to just stop watching ISU Sports. Its so unhealthy. I wish I didn't care.
yeah, now you just try to avoid losing 6 of 7 or something crazy....this tape is going to be the blueprint of how to beat us, expect this over and over again now......ball pressure on Tamin and attack our guards off the dribble.....what you have to do now is figure out a way to get the ball up the floor, figure out a way to get into your offense with Tamin at the point, cover up these backcourt weaknesses, win out at home somehow, and get in the dance
5 games left at home, have to figure out a way to win those
And sometimes all the refs have to do to have an impact is keep things in reach until the other team can make their run. They did that.
Hell, they were doing it in the first half when somehow they couldnt call a foul on Tech for like 18 minutes, but at least that wasn't putting points on the board.
It's pretty obvious that this team has had its weaknesses exposed. The 2nd time through the conference was going to be a huge test for this group and it ain't starting out great. Put the conference title dreams to bed. Right now they just need to figure out a way to finish 10-8 and grab a 5 or 6 seed on Selection Sunday.
I mean I’d rather not see someone with zero coordination and minimal athletic ability see any minutes to be completely honest. I get we’re playing with what we have as far as size, but I’d rather have Hawley play the 5 whenever I see Bob dribbling a ball off his feet.
Refs were fine, we didn't attack the paint, and we do this thing where we just hack people at times for no reason. Can't do that on the road, almost all of them were fouls. The game was being called a certain way, and we did nothing to adjust.
