*** Official #8 IOWA STATE vs #16 Kansas Game(Day) Thread ***

[CYdways432]

Has TJ and coaches considered starting the game with only 4 players that way they can bring Curtis in off the bench?

 

[alarson]

Feels like a Matt Campbell situation with Otz, awesome for us, overachieves when underdog, but when the hunted stuggles .

It seems like its in the water in the AD in general.

The second we get any kind of expectations, we **** the bed. Not just lose, but we often have some kind of spectacular failure.

If you are no threat to hit some 3's it is very easy to play defense.

At some point you gotta try a couple of other guys.

Also I would bring Jefferson out to the arc more. See if he can drain a couple. See if you can get their bigs to come out

I agree. Him, Jones and Lipsey should come out firing from the 3pt line in the second half

 

[jcisuclones]

I would not be upset if Heise didn’t step foot on the court the rest of the year. I don’t think even freshman year Lipsey was as scared to have the ball in his hand

 

[bradcyclone]

If I am a head coach, time to play our two Freshman in JT Rock and Nojus, wasn’t Rock known for his shooting in high school maybe it could help spread out the offense ?

 

[KCyclone2010]

Can someone tell me what the point is of dribble hand offs for 20 seconds is that they don’t even seem to be looking to run an action off of it

 

[bustamoveisu]

This is Prohmish type bball!

 

[Clonefan32]

The offensive scheme just does not cut it. There is not enough movement on offense

I watch and I just can’t figure out that we are trying to accomplish. There’s no plan

 

[goody2012]

Kansas gives up like 90 ppg, but we’ll have people saying “oh shucks we just need Milan back” if we score 45 tonight.

At least be factual. They're a top 10 defense buddy.

My ******* shirt is the problem. God damn you Raygun shirts -my “Iowa state is good at basketball” tee has destroyed this season. 0-3 since its purchase.

Let it be known that all can be blamed on @Dannynoonan!

T-shirt already was off by settling for "good at" and not "great at"

Print the shirt once ISU is in the Final Four. Doing it in January was very dumb by RayGun

 

[CyberJJJ]

Saturday ISU could shoot the 3.

8/18

ISU is 1/12 tonight. They could make their next 6 in a row and it'd still be worse.

But otherwise, yeah. Feels the same.

Saturday they were able to shoot in the first half, but not the second half

 

[Westside clone]

19 pts. WTF?
I like how Kansas passes the ball around and gets open shots. We should try it.

We double leaving someone open. They are stopping us straight up switching man.

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

I would not be upset if Heise didn’t step foot on the court the rest of the year. I don’t think even freshman year Lipsey was as scared to have the ball in his hand

I am praying Nojus gets to see the floor more. He cannot possibly be less of a non-entity

 

[CYDJ]

You folks calling our players names is BUIIshit. Grow up or turn in your ISU fan card.

Criticize sure, calling them direct / derogatory names that would get your non-anonymous weak ass beat to a ******* bloody pulp by every one of those young men out there is never acceptable.

Knock it off!

 

[Drew0311]

Whoever is getting paid to coach the offense probably should not have a job after this year

He is the equivalent of Manning our old football coordinator. Has he been in charge of the offense since TJ took over?

 

[CyGuy5]

Kansas gives up like 90 ppg, but we’ll have people saying “oh shucks we just need Milan back” if we score 45 tonight.

I’ve said for two weeks now it’s bigger than just one player and the dumbs continue to flow. It’s so obvious

 

[HoustonClone]

I blame the tariffs.

Did Reynolds place a tariff on Kansas wheat again? I knew it.

 

[Walden4Prez]

This is exactly what happened to the Bears after the Hail Mary.

No, they sucked before and after.

 

[NYCYFan]

4 guys standing while 1 guy dribbles into the paint and chucks up a contested shot. Great offense. Our guards forget how to pass to one another?

Love Gilbert when he's on but he's a ball hog too often and he handles the ball too much although in fairness he's their only player that can blow by anybody and get to the rim. It feels like Lipsey has taken a step back this season, need more from him as an orchestrator.
