*** Official Cincinnati vs #10 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

We have got to have the worst end of half sets in Division I

We don’t have sets

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

This team HAS to start valuing the ball. So many of our turnovers are just dumb and unforced. So frustrating.

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Ref needs to swallow the whistle on that T. You missed the foul call, of course the player is going to be pissed.

 

[madguy30]

in defense of Gilbert, he has been getting jobbed all year long. He has gone into the lane time and time again, taken on enormous amounts of contact and not getting the fkn call. Game after game this happens. I can understand it happening for a game or two, but this has been a consistent phenomenon. I don't get it.

I've said it earlier but if he doesn't get defenders out of position to force the issue he's not going to get the foul call. TJ alluded to it after the KSU game.

He got it earlier in the year but I think teams have scouted it to keep their space and let him come in without a plan.

Here are the Big 12 teams ranked-ordered by their KenPom home court advantage (points per 100 possession better at home relative to hypothetical neutral floor):

1. West Virginia +4.6
2. TCU +4.3
3. Texas Tech +4.3
4. Utah +4.3
5. Colorado +4.0
6. BYU +4.0
7. Oklahoma State +3.9
8. Iowa State +3.9
9. Kansas State +3.8
10. Kansas +3.8
11. Baylor +3.8
12. Cincinnati +3.6
13. UCF +3.4
14. Arizona +3.4
15. Houston +3.2
16. Arizona State +3.1

Why is our supposedly-top-tier home court advantage actually middle-of-the-pack in the Big 12? Because we get jobbed by the officials. Here they are rank-ordered by one of the model inputs, the disparity in personal fouls called, home-vs.-away:

1. TCU -5.8
2. West Virginia -5.2
3. Texas Tech -5.0
4. Baylor -4.9
5. Oklahoma State -4.7
6. Kansas -4.5
7. Kansas State -4.4
8. Cincinnati -4.3
9. BYU -3.9
10. Iowa State -3.2
11. UCF -3.0
12. Colorado -2.8
13. Utah -2.8
14. Arizona -2.6
15. Houston -2.6
16. Arizona State -2.0

So anyone thinking we get a particularly favorable whistle at Hilton, statistically speaking, no we do not, it's in the bottom half of the league and nowhere near the top tier.

Eerily similar to KSU :-(

TL plays tremendous defense but seems to have problems getting to 3 point shooters.

Nah, you can't directly go after an official like that. That was all on KG.

Hopefully he gets it together and can settle down a bit. He'll be needed to have a chance in this one.

Jizzle James is on fire and referee Tony Padilla should BE fired.

...out of a cannon

He's not a very tall person.

 

[cydsho]

Would love to know what Otz talked to the ref about for over a minute before going to the locker room.

"Maybe keep your day job?"

 

[KCyclone2010]

That wasn’t a travel on Jones to end the half. I watched it about 5 times and my mind is blown they called that

I think the 'reputation' of Hilton whistles mind freaks the officials and they overcompensate.

Who is the floor leader on this year’s team? The guy that takes over, pulls the team together and gets their focus back during the game.

 

[BigLame]

We have got to have the worst end of half sets in Division I

That was a good one & we had a chance for a layup attempt but our players kicked it out because?? I think they focus on using all of the time up rather than just making a bucket.

 

[madguy30]

Watson doesn't even play now that Milan is back. Makes no sense.

Haha back to this **** again.

 

[dirtyninety]

Please Heise and Gilbert,
You need a spark. I have a two $9.99 Great Clips haircut coupons. I'll give you each one AND a 20 dollar each bill to tip the hairperson....go get a haircut. high and tight and out of sight. Do it for the team. Do it for the ladies. Do it for your own self-respect. Meme-proof your hair.
Sincerely,
Section B Hilton

TL plays tremendous defense but seems to have problems getting to 3 point shooters.

He’s probably the best help defender in the country but he consistently struggles to stay with quick guards.

 

[ClonerJams]

Gilbert 4 turnovers in the first half. Not great, Bob

 

[SwirlyBird]

Haha back to this **** again.

Some people just lack intelligence
