*** Official #15 IOWA STATE vs #18 Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

[madguy30]

Conditt is B- talent with an F- brain

You should go to Hilton Saturday and yell that at him and see if it makes you feel good.

 

[cyclones500]

Kansas state is going to beat Texas.

And ... it's official.

 

[cdface]

He's a senior. He ain't changing with 2 months left in his cyclone career. Gonna need Jones to play out of his mind down the stretch

it's increasingly seeming like Conditt is not so much more valuable than Jones. Conditt might have an edge but can't stay on the floor many nights, while Jones has been ramping up his effect on the game as of late.

We have some uneducated fans. TavernClones perhaps?

Maybe. Are they the ones complaining about the officiating win or lose. Getting our ass kicked tonight. Not shooting well and our bigs commited unnecessary fouls tonight. Pretty simple.

Do you think this reffing did not play a part in this game and the lack of isu being able to drive to the basket?

 

[cyatheart]

Refs really changed this game

 

[CyberJJJ]

wtf do you think Tre King is?

Yeah, I couldn't understand why so many ISU fans didn't want him to play second semester. We need him and the extra muscle on the boards.

 

[CyDan]

Refs have sucked, but Tech has outplayed us big time in the 2nd half.

Difficult to play your game when half your roster is in foul trouble

 

[CYedUp]

I have a feeling when it comes to the NCAA touney tech won't make it that far since the refs won't allow this BS to happen

 

[NittanyCy]

This has been a disgrace of an officiating game. We had zero chance when they decided to give Tech every foul on the inside and just ignore the fouls we are taking.

 

[CYDJ]

Am I thrilled with the refereeing? No. But taking and missing as many 3s as we have has absolutely nothing to do with us not getting calls in the lane. Forcing up that many jumpers means we aren't forcing the refs to make the calls.

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't give us the calls you are seeking. How do I know this you ask? Because they have not given us the calls we deserved when we took it to the bucket like you wanted.

It is part of the problem right now, but only part

Get hammered inside without a call, why go there?

 

[CentexCyclone]

Lmao another weak ass call against Iowa State. Come the **** on TJ, stand up for your guys.

Cyclones are currently last in the conference in fouls per possession, getting called for fouls on nearly 26% of their possessions. Part of that is due to the style of play, part is TJ either not being experienced at working Big 12 Refs or Big 12 Refs just giving him the first year coach treatment.

 

[Malone]

You're bet than attacking the players directly like that.

No attack. He consistently does the opposite thing from what he should. He had five fouls and at least five turnovers in limited minutes. None of these things are out of the norm. Would you call that anything but an F- brain?

 

[cyclonehomer]

Maybe. Are they the ones complaining about the officiating win or lose. Getting our ass kicked tonight. Not shooting well and our bigs commited unnecessary fouls tonight. Pretty simple.

Why do people think they get bonus points for saying officiating is never bad?

 

[cyatheart]

One good shooter and we mop tech up...they don't guard anything outside 15 feet with us

We are a dream matchup for them...no depth and nobody to stretch the d so the just pound it in

 

[tim_redd]

K-State is good now?!?!

 

[cyclones500]

"Defense travels" rings hollow in games like this. Having a little offense travel would've helped.

 

[CYDJ]

I appreciate them both. Let's just keep chearing for both of them.
