*** Official IOWA STATE VS #18 Iowa Game(Day) Thread ***

Watching Lard go downhill is tough. So much potential

 

[clones8232]

Iowa’s best half and Our worst half. And were down seven. Not a problem

 

[pulse]

Is there any more annoying phrase than hero ball? I think not.

The annoyance of the phase matches that of the act.

 

[herbicide]

Unless his attitude changes, who cares

I agree, and he is/was my favorite player on the team.

Coach needs to consult with Hines during halftime. He seems to know quite a bit on Twitter

 

[adamwbusch]

Lard plays 2 minutes. Jacobson gets in foul trouble. Conditt comes in over him and plays the rest of the half. He will transfer. You could see him clearly frustrated when Conditt went to check in.

Let him. I would rather have a little less talent and one that doesn't make so many stupid off the court mistakes.

Just isn't in game mode when he goes in, looks scared almost

Cook's not a problem outside of just boxing him out.

Moss hitting for 18 (!?) in a half is the problem.

Minus the part where Cook is damn near an automatic two points right now. THT isn't big enough to compete with him and if THT isn't doing anything offensively to offset his defense you're hurting. Jacobson is defensively lost against a bigger, stronger guy. Conditt doesn't have enough experience or size to compete.

His attitude is a virus and he needs to recognize that

No idea what game shape he's in, but watch Conditt play, and what Jacobsen play, and then see if Lard looks the same.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Yeah, bad offense, bad defense, missing free throws. Somehow down only 7

Pass out of a double team rather than shooting a baseline spinning, fade-away shot & he’ll play more.

 

[adamwbusch]

Jacobson is just better. Lard without college basketball is going to end badly

I agree, Lard needs ISU basketball more then ISU basketball needs Lard and he likely doesn't know it.

 

[CTTB78]

Play Lard and Jacobson the entire second half. We'll need better control of the paint. Hopefully Shayok does not continue to force things and Babb starts to shoot. NWB and Halliburton will be keys in the second half.

 

[Baseline23]

1. FIND MOSS
2. Make Cook go to his right instead of left.
3. Box The F__ out on the defensive end.
Rinse and repeat.

 

[clonedude]

Just a real ugly first half all the way around. Just like the Hawks wanted it to be.

Prohm is going to be extremely ticked off at halftime with ISU's defense. It's been bad. And then settling for too many 3's as well. And in the last 10 mins of that 1st half the ball movement wasn't nearly as good as it was early on.

We've been playing awful, and of course Iowa has a guy playing out of his mind once again against us.

If we can just play our game, settle down, and can start hitting a few shots, I think we can pull this out.

 

[adamwbusch]

Why doesn't Iowa show up like this against Wisconsin or Michigan State?

Because this is their super bowl of basketball.

It’s aggression when it’s good and heroball when it’s bad. You NEED aggressive guys on offense or can’t attack a sound defense at all.

 

[CyForPresident]

I agree, Lard needs ISU basketball more then ISU basketball needs Lard and he likely doesn't know it.

Yep. He won’t figure that out for probably 5 years either

 

[Gerbs]

Remember when I

Lard plays 2 minutes. Jacobson gets in foul trouble. Conditt comes in over him and plays the rest of the half. He will transfer. You could see him clearly frustrated when Conditt went to check in.

And Conditt looked better.
