*** Official Cincinnati vs #12 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[Cyclonepride]

Impressive win. It's not easy to end a teams season and Cincy is not a bad team. Hopefully ISU can catch a break on the injuries and things aren't as bad as they seem.

Cincy is a tournament quality team that just didn't take care of business against the mid to low tier teams. In games that they should take seriously, they're a tough out, and this was a game you'd take seriously times 10 with their NCAA prospects hinging on a huge run.

great effort from the guys. Only 10 mins for Gilbert.

Sit them both. Play the entire bench like we did a few years ago. Let's get crazy.

A lot to like about today. Defense in first half was really, really good. Rebounding was excellent. Offense was good. Turnovers bad.

When he took himself out and then headed to the locker room. Man I hated to see that.

[Cyientist]

well he went to the locker room

Me grasping at straws, but at least they didn't sub him out after his made FT, they waited to see if he could go.

That's about the best news possible

I like the idea of that. But it does put a ton of pressure on the 6 remaining guys who will get the majority of the time. We don’t want them to get injured.

Ideally you’d play tamin 15 or so minutes no matter what.

I thought only point guards could play point guard. Why is Jones the PG? He's a SG. What? I also saw Jefferson playing PG. What is TJ doing?

Might as well, IMO

Jizzle James in the portal yet?

 

[Statefan10]

I think with Keshon, you let him warm up to see how he feels and then go from there. Sounds like tamin will be fine. I think it was a contact injury so maybe a little bruised?

Disagree a little bit. Cincis Quad 1 record was horrible. They look like a good team until they actually play a good team.

Rip me apart if you want, but playing Lipsey tomorrow would not be a wise decision. I don’t care how good he feels. He couldn’t even play defense or move laterally because he was wincing so hard. Let that “tweak” heal before he just completely tears it and his season is done.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Jizzle and Day Day combined to shoot 10/33, and we allowed 16 points in the paint. That defense was designed to keep them out of the paint and make them shoot jump shots, and that's exactly what they did. Great plan, great execution.

 

[Statefan10]

Great game. They were gonna play their tails off considering they absolutely needed the win and we were tougher longer. Ass to belt again.

 

[ScottyP]

Good news for the most part. I was hoping the Keshon thing was precautionary.

 

[Marcelason78]

Absolutely great games today from Milan, Joshua, and Tamin. Loved the confidence and aggressive play.
