*** Official #19 IOWA STATE vs TCU Game(Day) Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
I don't understand why anyone thought we were in the hunt for the Big 12 title. Record wise we maybe were there for a bit but you can't watch this team and say they're a Big 12 championship caliber team.
We don't even come remotely close to Tech, Kansas State, or Kansas as a team. The freshmen, like freshmen are wont to do, are incredibly inconsistent. Announcers cherry pick a few stats to make guys sound good during broadcasts but this team has MASSIVE holes that have been there all season. They aren't just something that's coming out of nowhere now that we're in conference play.
I don't think you'll find a conference championship team Jacobson or Weiler-Babb would start on. They're role players we don't have a choice but to have them play minutes. Freshman for the most part don't start on conference title type teams unless they're McD's AAs. We start 2.

Lol, what about the last 3 weeks of basketball give you any indication we are winning out? This team is gutless with a coach in over his head.
The time to start Wigginton was right when he was healthy enough to play. I'm not a fan of the earn your spot back, because then you run into situations like you have now when someone that's a starter is stuck on the bench. Wade didn't have to earn his starting spot back when he got healthy.
I posted before the Baylor game that this team just does not have a guy that can consistently make a 3 pointer and I was severely blasted by several of you. What do you say now?
I think since this team has looked similar in a few losses it looks like Iowa and AZ keep beating them.
Lmao, you realize we beat those 3 teams right? This just another "woe is me" excuse on why this team and coaching staff are underperforming. Pathetic!
Proven winner that can recruit. Despite his reputation on this board, Scott Drew is a really good coach, IMO.
Tough loss....thought the effort and toughness was much better in the 2nd half. A focused active Cam Lard is a huge difference maker. Would love to see him posting up and getting the ball. Get OU!
Wade is a more fundamentally sound player than LW.
I love to read dumb posts after a game, but this has to be one of the dumbest! We could give zero effort, have the worst coach ever and have a 1-25 record and I would NEVER hope we lose a game, let alone the rest of them!
We shot like piss, so not surprising that we lost, but once again pick and roll defense and defensive rebounding just horrible. I think about 6 times in a row in the first half TCU runs a ball screen, and Jacobson and Babb both go out and play soft defense on the ball handler, and no one on the weak side rotates over to do anything so the roll guy is wide open.
Shayok, Wigginton and Halliburton once again basically don't rebound at all.
This team has played really good defense at times this year. It's weird they've basically forgotten how.

Well the guards can't stay in front of anyone so what's the difference?
