*** Official #14 IOWA STATE vs #22 Oklahoma State Game(day) Thread ***

[cygrads]

Forte basically falls down on most drives to the basket and gets the call every time.

Have you watched ISU basketball at all this year? We've been TERRIBLE at guarding 3's. It's not that fixable, otherwise it would have already been fixed.

Only 2 really disappointing possessions tonight, and those happen.
There's been a lot of repair work that you seem to be missing.

 

[ISU22CY]

Wtf play is that?

 

[SoapyCy]

Ooh fred looks angry

 

[jcisuclones]

Another pretty pathetic last 5 minutes of the first half...

 

[CyFan61]

The atrocious three-point defense continues. OSU 6/10 from behind the arc.

 

[Final42b]

Meh ok first half. Horrid 3 point defense again though. Did Georges miss the flight?

 

[khardbored]

33-33 @ halftime

 

[xboxfever]

Just dribble out the clock and shoot a three? Run a play there come on.

 

[CyArob]

Poor end of the half. Hope Georges shows up. I think some of that foul trouble hurt our defense.

 

[cyclones12321]

And looks like another last possession ball game vs these guys

 

[Cyclonepride]

Well, certainly not mistake free, but overall I think we're playing well.

Ooh fred looks angry

HOpe he is, seriously our last play of the half is to just let our PG dribble and do a pull up?

 

[awd4cy]

I really hope we don't lay an egg in the 2nd half like we have on the road.

 

[MIClone]

OSU is 6-10 from downtown.

Yah, but like people keep saying, its just a matter of time before they start hitting some shots.

 

[cygrads]

OSU 60% from 3 - I hope they don't keep that up.

The D is better to an extent, but the three-point defense is still ridiculously poor. This will kill us when it really counts in March. Hell, that's how 13 and 14 seeds hang around in the round of 64 in March.

 

[Knownothing]

We suck at finding and guarding 3 point shooters.

 

[Jacktronic]

The atrocious three-point defense continues. OSU 6/10 from behind the arc.

I thought it was mostly in transition? Or am I wrong? I thought we had decent 3p defense once in the half court.

 

[Erik4Cy]

Terrible last few possessions. Exactly what you don't want to see to end the half. Also OSU has a lot of wide open 3 attempts.
