*** Official IOWA STATE vs #14 Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

Imagine if everyone is back, and brockington is gone. That's night terrors right there.

help is on the way

Seeing how unlikeable Tech’s team behaves makes me almost want to root for OU

Considering they bent us over and could have won by 60 easily, I thought they behaved fine. I mean it's hard to be likeable when you are ass pounding someone relentlessly.

 

[ISU_Guy]

Have you ever played basketball. Not playing for like 2 weeks then getting thrown in is about as set up to fail as a guy can get.

Exactly, I will extend on this a bit also. As a previous contributor/starter and you now don't play at all, getting beat by 35 points tonight with a couple mins left gives the player a sense of embarrassment by going in during scrub minutes. I would rather not go in at that point.

There has to be more to the story we are not seeing.....because if there isn't a reason, that is just plain bad coaching.

Yeah, I don't get that at all. I see that Tech team and want us to be carbon copies. They are RELENTLESS. Those guys have no business being that good, but they're incredible. Their effort is unmatched and they just will the ball into the hoop. Adams is easy to respect. I have no issues rooting for them to go a long ways in March and the fact we somehow held on to beat them (while depleted) in Ames is definitely our best win of the year.

Couple things.

terrible effort, we have issues. lots of issues.

you can't tell me the committee can't smell an issue with this team. I wouldn't want us in, but are resume will put us in.

TJ is going to have to find another 5 + guys in the portal next year.

TT had 13 steals.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

I think it's safe to say in their first year....Adams had TJ's number.

 

[mjhavlo76]

Brockington 3-16 from the field! Woof..

 

[Cyforce]

It's a stupid argument that's why. What do you think is going to happen when you take the 2 best players off any team?

What i said was if you combined the teams IB and TH would be the only Clone starters.

 

[Nococy]

Hok friend just dropped this hot take on me:

"Otz is Iowa State's Todd Lickliter."

Tech would kill his hawks also. They are just that athletic and physical

He had lots of coach's numbers.

Many would in his position.

 

[mjhavlo76]

What about this Coach Adams. Never heard of the guy until this year and he wins Big 12 coach of the year! He looks like someone I’d buy furniture from. Not a basketball coach. lol

 

[Wally86]

This team without brockington makes me sweat next year.

Ya. Unless there are a good three athletic transfers in, next year may not be an improvement.

 

[Blandboy]

Brockington 3-16 from the field! Woof..

that's game; he needs at least one other supporting player to be effective

 

[Acylum]

TJ is going to have to find another 5 + guys in the portal next year.

He better hit on a higher percentage than he did this year.

 

[Cyforce]

Tech's defense is a horrible matchup for our inconsistent offense.

 

[Blandboy]

He better hit on a higher percentage than he did this year.

20 wins and he had a late start

Effort isn’t an issue. We need someone to score to pull defenders off Brockington. As soon as Gabe and Grill missed their first few shots, the game was over. It was going to take one of those two getting hot to win.

 

[fsanford]

If we end up a #10, watch us win the first game, then get bounced by a #15 that beat a #2.

Better than when we were a 2 and got bounced by a 15...

 

[madguy30]

He was an assistant at Tech before the year.

Perhaps the mastermind behind Beard's success.

If we choose to not tell Gabe, Conditt, Walker, and Jackson to leave then TJ is getting exactly what he deserves next year
