*** Official #20 IOWA STATE vs Iowa Game(Day) Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
Hornacek, Grayer, Hill, Rhodes virtually none of those players were from Iowa.
But that was then this is now I guess.
Jones tried to go one v one with rebraca a few times and lost. Unfortunately Rebraca appears to be even more improved than big Rob
Rebraca from 2021 was an embarrassment to the Hawkeye program. This year's version seems to be an entirely different guy (at least tonight)
Osun needs to worry a lot less about flexing and jawing, and worry a lot more about gaining weight, not committing real dumb fouls, and staying in the game over 15 minutes a night. Outside of a couple games he’s been a bust.
Not trying to bash the kid, just seems like the type that doesn’t focus on the right things. Especially hate that flexing sh*t.

I love that stuff when you can back it up. Georges was a king trash talker, but backed it up. I loved Marshall Henderson at Auburn because he was good and talked a ton of ****. When Osun did the Mutumbo wave against Nova, I loved it. But you look like a fool when you cant back it up.
When you watch college basketball, just think of Popeyes. College basketball is a game of runs, and Popeyes gives you the runs. When you start your morning with explosive diarrhea, its hard to recover for the rest of the day.
And when they aren't Iowa born, they have been in the program for 11 years, so they learn about the rivalry. Iowa's teams care about the rivalry like fans. Our players, for the most part, see it as just another game. We have had 4 or 5 years where it mattered to us, that was during Hoiberg's big run teams. After that, we look like we play it down to our players.
I was concerned way back when we signed him that his lack of bulk would be a problem. That said, I didn't think it would be an issue until Big 12 play started. Filip freaking Rebraca made him look small tonight, and I've always considered Rebraca to be the smallest 6'9" dude I've ever seen. Well, Osun might be the smallest 6'10" I've seen too.
The game went as I feared, EIU hit their first 4 shots, including 2 three pointers and the crowd got into it. While ISU could not buy a basket. The 2nd half started the same way, if EIU can hit 12 three pointers a night they are going to win a lot of games, just like if ISU only hits 3, we are in trouble.
It's one game, on the opponent's home court, flush it and move on.

They have guys that can pass, dribble, and shoot... so yeah, maybe not wrong. The disparity is not what we witnessed tonight though.
Talent trumps what state players are born in.
Just I hoping Tre King brings something to the offense. My guess is he gets worked in slow though.
sound off already celebrating. They’d never tweet anything like that after an Iowa blowout.
