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

[atlantacyclone]

My theory is that Zona broke our mental game with that half court shot. We have been a different team since then …

 

[cycloneworld]

Jones has to keep shooting. It's our only hope for a comeback. Don't care if he's 0-20 keep shooting.

Yep - no one else can shoot and the other option is a wild, low percentage prayer so might as well have him jack 20+ shots and hope they go in.

Seems like you've found a neat strawman to attack. I don't see anyone blaming the refs

There’s one or two. But yea, this is pretty tame.

 

[CyberJJJ]

That’s not a travel. The lack of rules knowledge on here truly astounds me at times

Not the slide, but the rolling over should’ve been.

 

[CoachHines3]

Where are you getting 90? They give up 66.7 and according to Kenpom they're 5th in adj. d with a bone to pick after Saturday with really athletic players.

Making **** up doesn't help whatever point you're trying to make.

shhhhh get out of here with analytics man

Wait can we go back to the guy up-thread that wanted them to call a T on Kansas for not being honest about the ball being off them? I feel like that didn’t get enough credit for the wonderful post it was

Only good thing is this game is on Monday. So we have 5 days to try and explain to them how to pass the ball around like Oansas is doing right now

Lipsay has to be a more injured than the team has let on.
And didn't we used to lead the league in scoring!!! We're playing at best 2 on 5 basketball.

Started in that OT, then K-State and now first half against Kansas. Need some sort of pick me up.

 

[CycloneDaddy]

No bench points and 4 of the starters only have 1 made basket each, wooooof!!!!

 

[JM4CY]

take us back to the later prohm days where none of this mattered

I seriously doubt that any adjustments TJ makes at half could lead to a win here but I hope he tries something drastic. Have Jefferson run point-forward like Coleman Hawkins. Put in Nojus. Run five-out. Anything different than what they were doing in the first half and I’ll feel much better.

 

[IcSyU]

The last 65 minutes of basketball this team has played have maybe produced 5 good minutes.

KU is good defensively but we are just plain bad.

Careful, might bring Cat Stevens back to the boards.

That apparently worked so well last week

 

[exCYtable]

Woof. This has the appearance of wheels falling off the season.

No. We're in a bad stretch. Get back to Hilton on Saturday, get back in the win column, get Milan back and we'll get our swagger back in time for March.

Right now we couldn’t beat Oklahoma State with this sorry play. Going from top dog to worse than bottom feeder in three games is extremely worrisome.

 

[HoustonClone]

Sorry Nate

I got a Heise poster at the UCF game. Are you saying I shouldn't put it up? It would go right next to Jeff Beverly's. Not even joking on that one.

Can you get T'd up for...dishonesty?

Not the slide, but the rolling over should’ve been.

You have to have possession of the ball to travel. He had a hand on top of the ball, no possession.

If you rewatch it, he had a hand on the ball when he rolled. Then brought the ball into his body after he was sitting, done with his roll.
