*** Official IOWA STATE vs #12 Texas A&M Game(Day) Thread ***

This group didn't give up.

ATM is more talented.

Shouldn’t be with this starting 5. We are not good.

F

Too dramatic?

Yes

ISU has a lot of talent that just sits on the bench.

 

[CycloneSpinning]

I don’t think we make the tournament. .500 in conference is a tall task.

Do you like Iowa State? Or are you a secret agent troll?

Curtis Jones should only see about 5 mins a game. He is so freaking bad it’s unreal. Never seen anything like it. Bonehead plays and throwing up bricks.

Curtis Bluford

This weekend has left zero wiggle room for conference play. .500 won’t get us in.

Not sure we have to worry about being .500.

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

Even if it means Tamin has to play 35 minutes a night, Curtis Jones should not be seeing the floor for any significant length of time the rest of this season. Dude basically makes it 4 on 6

This is pretty much the same team we've had the last 2 years with less defensive length. Poor shooting, bad turnovers, and not sure we hit on any of the portal players..and only one of our heralded recruiting class is contributing. At the end of the day is so far we still really lack scoring.

The most overhyped TJ team might end up being the worst

Yep...this is a bad team. There is almost no basketball IQ, just hurling their bodies at the other team and hoping something happens. The lack of finesse over the last two years was sometimes made up for by smart defending, but this team doesn't have that. They just have a lot of out-of-control energy, turn it over all the time, chuck the ball up with no skill. This could be a really rough season. The guys look lost out there.

Big 12 overall probably a bit weaker this year (thank goodness) don't have to play at KU. All I got.

Hoping Pavs and Milan can find their 3 point range.

Early 2nd halves continue to be an issue.

The killer was that run they went on to end the first half.

 

[CycloneErik]

The next two games will be awfully interesting.

Pretty much two must-win games for our noncon schedule.

 

[ISU_Guy]

As it should be. Can only blame ourselves for our weak ass schedule.

Sad thing is the only teams we play worth a damn non conference are VCU, VT, A&M, Iowa and Maybe DePaul

I can honestly see us going 1-4 against those teams.

Can you point to where ISU has consistently played good teams in the first 4ish games in previous years? Like prior to November 15th?

 

[CY88CE11]

Yeah, it's off backboard before the block. That's textbook and should be an easy confirm.

 

[CYDJ]

I think you might be wrong. Correction, I'm sure you are wrong

 

[stormchaser2014]

Ah yes, my favorite part of the game, false hope time.

Depaul is 1-5

 

[ISUTex]

This team needs a week off to get their mind right. They will be OK.

They need to stay in that field house after the game and have everybody make 100 free throws before they can go back to the hotel.

Like who?

What have you seen that tells you they would have helped tonight?
