*** Official #2 IOWA STATE vs West Virginia Game(Day) Thread ***

Well unlike Heise the others have made 3’s in the last month so it’s fair

yes I agree with you today but he is not the only one missing today unless he has taken 10 shots.

 

[Lineup]

why do we play out of control slow the F**k down

yes I agree with you today but he is not the only one missing today unless he has taken 10 shots.

In fact while we have missed 11, that's spread around 5 guys all missing 2 (Jones missing 3)

Lipsey/Jones/gilbert going a combined 0/7 is what really hurt.

 

[Drew0311]

He took 2 that half

He has missed ten in a row and he only shoots them when he is wide open

 

[Cupped]

7 TOs, 2 assists and zero bench points means plenty of room for improvement this half. We'll be OK.

Our half court offense isn’t very good.

Heise was a 36% 3-pt shooter at UNI last year. It seems like he is both not able to get the shot up fast enough (big difference from MVC to Big 12), and also in his head about it. Needs to just make a couple and it could really open up for him…

 

[CycloneBamaFan]

We need to make some shots. As of the immortal words of Nick Saban, hopefully the team has not been eating any of the "poison, rat poison".

 

[bozclone]

This game is going to be about toughness based on the officiating. We need to be strong with the ball and be physical on defense.

 

[RedlineSi]

Feel pretty confident the guys will come out strong the 2nd half.

 

[cayin]

Not sure that would have made much of a difference the way this game is being called. Maybe 6 points max.

Helps the spacing

 

[madguy30]

Jefferson has had fumbleitis. He cannot handle a double team.

And Gilbert has a trend to drive into three guys in the lane.

Gotta take the good and not so good.

 

[ISU_Guy]

I still don’t understand how Houston’s ranked third in the net. I get they had a tough schedule, but they lost all the hard games

 

[cyclones500]

I'm guessing WV is going to burn out second half. They are over extending.

Hope so.

I thought about that a few times in the first half, hoping maybe they'll run out of petrol eventually.

But they lost them close, and are blowing out their lesser teams (other than today).

No different than most of the country thinking we're a really good team because we were a tip in from beating Auburn.

 

[Die4Cy]

Harbor Freight is awesome.

 

[cal-cyclone]

Jefferson, Jackson and Chat need to NOT try to dribble in the lane.
Get the ball in the lane, keep it high and go to the rim strong. eventually refs will have to call obvious fouls on drives to the rim.

 

[Stumbles]

Harbor Freight is awesome.

Any time I need a tool that I am going abuse, I go to harbor freight

 

[AllInForISU]

Jefferson has had fumbleitis. He cannot handle a double team.

He’s getting hammered in the post with the ball. That’s not helping. They aren’t calling it on both ends, but it clearly will lead to sloppier play by both teams if they continue to not call fouls

 

[cytor]

Getting a three would be nice
