*** Official Arkansas - Pine Bluff vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Yeah I wouldn't call Solo bad.

I read that in this very thread.

SDSU is going to be a good challenge - they played great against WVU. Hope we're ready to play.

He is, but he has regressed each year here. The staff really sucked teaching him.

I don't agree. He's battled injuries, which has obviously kept him from where he could be, but last 15 games last year he averaged over 11 ppg, with 6 games over 15. After Conditt got a shot starting, Solo didn't sulk. Back in the starting lineup, he played hard and well. He'll never be a dominant big man and I agree with the post that, ideally, he'd be backing up a really good center. But that doesn't mean he's regressed or that the staff has held him back.

They also lost at home 72-59 to Saint Mary’s.

People just don't get it man and nothing you say will make them understand.

Haha. Care to elaborate? I have a feeling of what you might say. Just thought it kind of funny.

She’s too busy still having a panic attack about the football team missing the championship game.

I play you guys like a fiddle.

Seriously, do you and clonedude just post from different rooms?

With surly stashed in a guest room?

I listened to the game on the radio and only questioned things like Bolton flying down the court and launching a three 8 seconds into the shot clock. John and Eric questioned it on the radio too. I was also critical of us coming out and our first 5 shots were all 3's.... and all misses. You don't have to see that kind of stuff to know it's not good basketball.

As for Foster.... I'm going by what Prohm has said... and rumblings about his game from people that have seen him play in high school and in all star games, etc. A lot of people said he's a 7 footer, but doesn't play on the inside much... not even against shorter guys in high school. He liked to shoot 3's a lot in high school. And then defensively, he was kind of slow footed, but could block shots. And a lot of people questioned his desire and effort at times too. That's just scouting report stuff.

He obviously has a TON of potential though. He can be elite if he wants to be. Obviously I'm rooting for him all the way.
So yes.... I call it like I see it (or hear it in this case).

Foster was in the post a lot in high school. Then people had questions about his shot, then he proved he could hit threes. Then those same people asked why he isn’t in the post the whole game.

 

[Cycl0nepower]

I didn't watch the game because I am not stupid. But based on twitter observations and things we all should know.

1. Playing a team that has played twice and only plays zone is tough for a team who can't shoot.

2. I don't care if he is bad, you've got to get the ball into Solo more often. And he's got to rebound.

“ I didn’t watch the game because I’m not stupid” Care to explain what that even means?

It means she is an antagonistic pot-stirrer with no real substance. You understand that well enough.

he has?

 

[Hayes30]

he has?

At the HS level yeah.

Yea sure you do.

 

[Cyched]

Ah yes, the classic "I'm just kidding, geez" defense

 

[t-noah]

Which is sometimes out of tune?

 

[Halincandenza]

Going to be another rough year for Prohm if this game was any indication.

 

[Halincandenza]

@Cyclonepride not sure what was funny about that? They did not look like a team that is going to be competing for an NCAA birth. They played one of the worst teams in D1 and struggled with them.

 

[MLawrence]

I am not a fiddle. If anything, I am a French horn.

You didn’t actually watch the game, did you?
