*** Official #2 IOWA STATE vs West Virginia Game(Day) Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
I couldn't tell if Jerry West's wife was emotional over the tributes all game or crying about how bad we were playing basketball.
Too soon?
Too soon?
And maybe half (?) of the turnovers in the last 2 games have been 100% self-inflicted, not because of great defense. Need to clean that up going forward.
she was probably just happy that racist, cheating ******* was too dead to be there.
She looked young, I looked it up as she was his 2nd wife, she was born the year he graduated from West Virgina. If what I read was right she was a Lakergirl....
We need to flush this one and get back to playing Cyclone basketball. Quite possibly a good thing in the short run. Wind em up TJ.
I was being sarcastic? We can’t laugh after a loss?
We are 15-2 and will still be in the top 5 and a projected 1 seed come Monday. We played (I hope) worst game of the season. By far our worst game of the season.
Regroup. Move on. Start a new win streak.
Yep. When was the last Big 12 champ undefeated in conference play? I think Kansas did it once in the early 2000s and that’s it.
We need Milan back bad. Heise needs to hit a shot eventually
Or maybe shoot the ball better and take better control of the ball would had resulted in a win.
Did the officials have an impact in the game? Of course. But the team played like crap today. Let’s just be honest with ourselves. Teams don’t win games going 1-17 from behind the arc and having the ball stolen 14 times. That’s why they lost, not officiating
I think the pushback you’re getting is:
1) Literally every thread ever has fans complaining about refs. In the history of sports. You have the power to literally just Block/Ignore those that you feel fall into that bucket of “annoying fan that always blames the refs and probably never actually played competitively”. It will take you 2.7 seconds to complete this task. So yeah, knowing that you could very easily do this but instead you find it important to flood the thread (the same thread you want to be focused on game-talk) with anti-ref-complainer talk - is very annoying. We get it - you don’t think the refs influence how teams play.
2. The refs very clearly influenced HOW both teams had to play today. Iowa State didn’t respond to it as well as WVA did. Many things can be and are true at the same time.
According to today's numbers about everyone needs to hit shots.
I've been wondering if he's injured or something. Looking at his game log I can't really find a "bad" game, statistically, it's more just how he's moving/playing, he just doesn't look quite right.
Agreed it did not help.
Also didn’t help that West Virgina went 7 minutes n the first without scoring and we only led by 3 after that,
Kansas went 17-1 in 2019-20. That was the best mark I remember. Definitely think KU wins the championship that year if not for covid.
And they still had a chance at a Q1A win while playing terribly.
Iowa game was bad and the offense looks like a grind for him.
He was limping a touch maybe a week or two ago.
