*** Official #5 IOWA STATE vs TCU Game(Day) Thread ***

Completely flummoxed in the half court. Playing 2 or 3 on 5 with Toure and Heise or the bigs unable to touch the ball without a major turnover risk.
 
Unbelievable.
#1 The coaches fault for not getting the players to play Cyclone ball. Maybe looking ahead to next week?
#2 No senior leadership on the team that takes control of the team when things start getting tough.

If I’m honest I dont think the cost of wearing g ourselves out to win the conference is worth it. Get a top 3-4 seed often and we will be fine

Yeah, cause we can handle a 5? And then beat a 1 in the sweet 16?
 
TJ with that confused look on his face near the end like... "how did we lose this thing?".

Well... because you sucked and got schooled tonight. If you're intent on putting the ball in JJ's hands to dribble and create all night... and watch him constantly turn it over... that's on you TJ!

Deserved to lose

Played like crap

Had zero energy and very sloppy.

Couldn’t shoot

Fought back and gave it away

That’s the disturbing part. Complete and utter abysmal performance last 3 minutes with a 5 point lead with a chance to escape.
 
That was a horribly coached game by TJ. Terrible use of timeouts. You are not an Elite program when you continally lose on the road to crappy opponents.

This team is built for a first round upset in the tourney... we look past teams we think we're better than... that's exactly when those upsets happen.

Unfortunately, I think you’re right. The body language tonight was not good. The way they ended against Baylor showed a lot. I’m sure they’re exhausted. We’ve seen this before with TJ’s groups. The grind gets to them.

TJ needs to put an end to Jefferson handling the ball. Way more bad things happen than positive. Coach needs to set some boundaries and not give a damn if the player doesn’t like it.

You may have missed the bad turnovers from about everyone tonight.

Just kind of allergic to patience.

Toure and Lipsey had two of the worst turnovers of the season in crunch time.
 
Up 55-50 I told a friend we wouldn’t score again. It’s uncanny how predictable we are.

Wake me up in March for our first weekend exit. Or don’t. I don’t even care.

I’m 35 years old, I think it’s just part of rooting for Iowa state that even when we’re “good” we’re still frauds. We’ve had back to back seasons of talk of final 4 and then TJ does the TJ special and loses team focus and team folds. This is the start of a 3-5 type of finish to season.

It's a weird reality we occupy as fans where (prior to this debacle tonight) my team was 21-2, ranked in the top five most of the year, and still I wasn't sure if we're actually all that good. Seems to be a rather common sentiment among our fanbase.

First weekend exit book it. I am so tired of this team underachieving. Losses to Kansas on the road are expected. Losses to BAD Cincinnati and TCU teams on the road are embarrassing.
