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

[fsanford]

That's dreadful, but hard to compile a lot of assists when nobody can hit a layup.

Or a 3

I didn’t complain about his game on Wednesday. I said recently he’s looked off and you took that to mean I was talking about one game in particular. He had six turnovers against Texas Tech, and three today. That’s what I’m talking about. Also your writing style is annoying as hell.

Ah, well appreciate that. F*** you too

^Hope that’s annoying enough to get a Block/Ignore from you. I sincerely f***ing hope that!

Guarantee they’ll move Florida and Tennessee ahead of us

Easily they will

1-17 on 3s, that’s not a ref issue

Nobody said it was.

 

[Jnecker4cy]

We missed WIDE OPEN 3’s. I will repeat WIDE OPEN 3’s. We also missed lay ups. Layups sat on the rim and didn’t go in. It’s just one of those games. We lost.

But everyone wants to scream about refs but we played really bad. It’s ok to admit and move on to then next game. It’s being an adult.

We were bad and refs were bad both can be true. In a close game you don't think two phantom calls one on Lipsey and one on Jefferson matter? That 3 points in that last stretch that should not count. It dies matter, also playing badly matters. As I said both can be true.

Florida lost at home to Missouri. They arent jumping us. Tennessee lost today too, so they shouldn’t either.

View attachment 141334 I’m afraid it wasn’t officiating, fellas. 1-17 from 3. 19 to 2 fast break points. 14 to 4 steals. Officiating was far from the cause of the loss. Iowa state was just as, if not, more physical than WVU. Looks like fouls were called pretty fairly to me.

Well thanks for clearing that up.

 

[rosshm16]

The fact that we could have hit a few more threes and probably won does not mean the officiating was good/fair or that it did not drastically affect the game.

 

[cyclonestunners]

I hope our fanbase can see this game was an anomaly offensively and that we can’t just blame the refs every single game we lose or trail in.

One trick point who doesn't understand how reffing can effect a game. It's insane. Do you think this have was consistently called? Of si can you provide any examples of soft drive to rim calls on us like the two wvu had at the end?

Or maybe you won't... because you know your wrong.

 

[ClubCy]

Surely nothing the refs did forced us to be shooting on a day we shouldn't be

Huh? We missed 3 layups late. Missed open 3’s all day?

I think it’s absolutely insane that I even have to defend my take that we lost this game by our play.

 

[twincyties]

2 4 5 6 7 8 9 all lost this week

 

[Cy Hard]

6-7 free throws for us. 2-3 for our 3 guards that drive to the basket. When was the last time Tamin didn’t shoot a free throw in a game?

 

[CYEATHAWK]

Gilbert needs to back off the street ball throttle a little until he can figure the game speed. He has become somewhat of a turnover machine the last few games.

As bad as 1-17 from 3 is, 4 total assists is flat out awful too.

Shooting lost us the game, but we were getting flat out mugged on offense and it bothered us big time, thus the turnover discrepancy.

 

[madguy30]

No. We will probably another 2 years (I hope) before we have as poor of a shooting game as we did today. This was Pitt game bad.

It happens. Move on to the next.

I'm curious how the team graded out overall.

Didn't that Pitt game include every single ISU player having their worst day at the same time?

 

[Cyburbbalz]

I more worry about NCAA tournament games being a 3 point fest and our ability to go ice cold at times.

We'll be fine with Milan.. Heise can't make any. I think we need the freshman for 10 minutes a game because he can shoot.

 

[jcf817]

I know it’s easy to blame officiating, and yes there were some bad calls.

BUT, ISU didn’t play well at all. 1-17 from behind the arc. That’s absurdly bad. WVU also had 14 steals.

Those two stats are why the cyclones lost, not because of officiating

And yet, the officiating WAS *********.

 

[Cymark86]

Yes. ****** officiating affects the game. This isn’t a novel idea.

So does going 1-17 on 3’s and missing wide open layups. Officiating does impact games, but I’m guessing TJ won’t bring it up.

 

[madguy30]

That should drop them down to 7-8. Sigh

Top ten after a loss is awesome!
