*** Official #20 IOWA STATE vs Iowa Game(Day) Thread ***

[KCyclone2010]

How can you miss that bad from the same spot?!!

 

[CYedUp]

Goes from make to hitting the top of the backboard

 

[CloneZone13]

This is the honestly the first time I've ever turned an ISU game off early. I can't take it, especially after last night's women's performance. Christmas Vacation is on AMC if anyone's interested...

 

[xboxfever]

Gonna put the kids to bed. ******* embarrassing performance tonight by ISU.

 

[Gary_ISU]

We really don’t know how to defend without fouling

Agreed. Kunz gets 2-3 fouls every game because he has no clue how to play defense without fouling. Kunz gets a reaching foul 25 feet from the basket. Watson comes in and does the same thing. That is not bad officiating but just stupid basketball.

 

[Clonefan32]

Gabe talking **** on his first make down 25 then promptly putting one off the top of the backboard is *chefs kiss*

 

[madguy30]

at least expectations for this team is low now

Like you would let them get high?

They were bubbleish today, they still can be after.

 

[cyclo120]

Can’t remember truly the last time I quit watching a game. Not giving up on this team by any means just don’t feel doing this back to back nights.

 

[ClonerJams]

I think we're the better team, but this being our first true road game and it being Iowa's biggest game of the year, I think we come up short. Hope I'm wrong.

Unfotunately I was right, just didn't think it would be this bad. This game is just a much bigger deal for them. Regroup and move on to the next one.

 

[Halincandenza]

These guys foul way too much to be an elite defense.
Also don’t rebound well enough.

 

[Die4Cy]

Honestly, there isn’t really a single player in the rotation that is a legitimate in game shooter.

Who is the player on this team you could even count on to get three made baskets in a row? Not sure they exist.

 

[GTO]

Gabe giveth, Gabe taketh away.

 

[cyclonestunners]

Agreed. Kunz gets 2-3 fouls every game because he has no clue how to play defense without fouling. Kunz gets a reaching foul 25 feet from the basket. Watson comes in and does the same thing. That is not bad officiating but just stupid basketball.

Yeah... it's almost like playing aggressive defense gets fouls called against you sometimes? imagine that!

Their gameplan is to harass teams all game and tire them out and frustrate them. It doesn't mean waiting to do it when you're inside 25 feet.

 

[dirtyninety]

Houston is emailing the conference commissioner to see if Iowa State can be asked to leave the Big12.

 

[madguy30]

Gabe sucks. He has been horrible for 2 years straight from 3 point range. If you can’t see it, I don’t know what to tell you. He hit the side of the backboard multiple times since he’s been a Cyclone. Airballed more 3s than I can count. If he isn’t shooting in the midrange he shouldn’t shoot. It’s honestly that simple.

He's not good at 3s but who should shoot tonight? ISU has hit one three.

 

[FerShizzle]

Holmes just missed another.

Stop shooting?

He just hit the ******* backboard on a wide open corner 3. A ******* foot and half left of the rim? How is that possible for a ‘shooter’? The only miss is long or short for a shooter, not left or right.

 

[CYDJ]

Their 3 point % is higher than their FG %. Wow! Back to almost 56%, about the highest it has been. They are on. I don't remember them hitting 3s like this yet this year.

 

[HoustonClone]

McCaffrey shouldering Kunz after foul. Dickhead move.

Has to live up to his name. Expected.

 

[stateofmind]

McCaffrey shouldering Kunz after foul. Dickhead move.

He’s thrown shoulders at every dead ball. You can tell Fran coached this team to thug it up. Usually that doesn’t work but tonight it’s working the best ever.

 

[Gary_ISU]

Iowa may never play another game like this, IN OUR LIFETIMES.

They will if they play a team that cannot defend, shoot and has no heart.
