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

[Malone]

No idea how TJ stays so calm. WV has decent defense but our game plan has been HORRENDOUS. Then Keshon chucks a three after zero ball movement. Tamin passes to nobody instead of attempting a layup at the rim

Bonehead play by tamin

In a normal game I like it. High probability he gets a bucket or - at worst - a foul.

But not tonight

 

[CycloneBamaFan]

You cannot tell me there wasn’t a foul on Lipsey there, what the ******* hell man

Refs are not calling anything all game. Uggh. Frustrating and no consistency. Definitely at West Virginia game.

It’s almost to the point where if Jones or Jefferson aren’t taking the shot it’s a wasted possession. Just a no show by a lot of players to this point.

 

[CloneLawman]

TJ should draw up the made three play more often. Concerning.

That's a pretty good approximation of King McClure's level of analysis.

 

[exCYtable]

No offense to Jackson but dear god, he is so weak for how huge he is with the ball

Drives me insane

 

[Malone]

Jackson has GOT to go to the rim faster and stronger.

It’s as though there’s no realization he’s by far the largest player on the floor

 

[CySmurf]

Bonehead play by tamin

He's trying to make a play to spark them into...well, something.

 

[Nolaeer]

crowds matter for calls. Im not saying it is right, but it is a fact of basketball.

 

[AlCyJim]

Well, I was watching until I saw caitlin Clark is sitting next to Taylor

watched until mens game started recording it but now you have spoiled it for me. lol

With how physical the game is, not sure how the offense is going to flow when we can't hit the 3. They can pack in and double/hack.

 

[bustamoveisu]

I know Jackson and Chatfield have displayed some positive moments, but guessing they have gotten less than 25% of 50/50 balls this season and it is frustrating.

We've effectively been thrown off our game. Just figure out how to get enough points to win, and get out of dodge.

Why doesn’t Keshon get to the rim any more

Because teams have figured out we aren’t good at shooting 3’s outside of Curt and and Milan (occasionally)

It needs to be talked about more.

Just nuts how physical the game has been allowed to be. But so far, just haven’t loved our attitude/response to it. Definitely feels like we’re a lot easier to guard without the spacing Milan provides. Game #2 was always going to be harder than Game #1.

Still a lot of time yet to respond to the adversity… let’s take advantage of this opportunity!

Here come the whistles

When Huggins coached that way, I always wondered how he could count on referees to let them play that way every game...

 

[CYedUp]

Devries looks like he could be a huge ass

Sincere Harris has 36 fouls today.
