*** Official IOWA STATE VS #2 Baylor Game(Day) Thread ***

[IbSvU]

This. People forgot the circus shot that gave Baylor the lead.

I don't think anyone has forgotten. That was an awful shot and Baylor was extremely lucky it went in. But people probabaly also realize that the quality or lack thereof Lecomte's shot doesn't make Iowa State's final two shots any better. Morris's shots were better looks sure, but still not very good.

 

[CoKane]

Who is settling? I'm a fan. I don't ******* affect the game. You don't.

I assume the players are pissed and disappointed and think they are worthless like you do. I don't have to think that.

Link to where I said this?

This one doesn't hurt with the selection committee. This one helps, even with the L.

As long as we only loose 5 more

 

[cycloneworld]

Not really. It's still a loss. But the team has put together 3 really good halves of basketball. That's new.

Sorry, but a bunch of dumbass fans that were predicting that we'd lose by 15-20 shouldn't be that upset about a 2 point loss.

We still have zero quality wins. Being upset although rationally discussing the game isn't ok? Are we supposed to be happy?

 

[CycloneErik]

TBF, Hoiberg did, too. Multiple times.

Lots of people do. He's not winning scores of games by accident.

TBF, Hoiberg did, too. Multiple times.

Don't mean it as anti Prom but more that Drew anticipated the play that Prohm would call. But it looks like maybe the players didn't execute it.

 

[stateofmind]

Be mad about the finish, but some of your memory is very selective. Hoiberg ran the same crap down the stretch, and these are still Hoiberg's guys. 4/5 seniors should know better in many of these games. I've been fortunate to watch practice a couple times and Prohm can coach. He is extremely smart and can think on his feet. But sometimes, more often than I'd like to see, this kind of crap happens against very big, long defenses.

Why does everyone not remember that we played and beat Miami?

 

[CyTwins]

Agree. We need to go for 3 there. We shot 10-22 from 3 and 14-39 from 2. They were begging us to hit threes all night.

That was the plan. They defended well and our spacing was not good

 

[Rogue52]

Prohm upset that officials didn't let them run with 8.2 seconds left. And after they don't allow it, he still rushes things and takes two timeouts home to Ames. Glad Naz and Burton understood the playcall and second option well enough to stand around and be face guarded by Baylor.

I hear NCAA tournament committee lets you trade in 15 timeouts at end of the year for a +1 seed.

All sour grapes aside, we played extremely well when on the run. Defense seemed to show signs of being very good considering size difference. But all that and $1 gets you $1 on Selection Sunday.

 

[CloneLawman]

That was the plan. They defended well and our spacing was not good

Agreed. And yes, I think Baylor defended very well.

 

[BeneventiCy28]

**** KU

I like where this guy's head is at.

 

[Doc]

That seems to be the case it looks like the players did not execute the play called.

BU also ran that little 1/2 court trap which disrupted things. The main reason why I wasn't happy the refs stopped the game after Lecomte's jumper. It let Baylor get set defensively and set something special up.

 

[NoCreativity]

Why does everyone not remember that we played and beat Miami?

The jury is still out on whether the Miami win will be a good win come March. They are 11-2 I think right now but could end up towards the bottom of the ACC once the season is finished.

Texas Tech was our best win so far.

 

[CyTwins]

Don't mean it as anti Prom but more that Drew anticipated the play that Prohm would call. But it looks like maybe the players didn't execute it.

Self runs the same play too. Players didn't execute. The chop is very effective and can get you an open 3. Fred would have called the exact same thing

 

[isu81]

Is it me, or did we play better than 95% of you predicted, and CF still complains? Hell of an effort, fell short. Play like that in the next 7 and we'll win every one.

Played a great game against a tough team. Only 5 turnovers to their 14, 10-22 from 3 vs their 3-17 and didn't let them dominate inside.

 

[clonedude]

We had to take a 3 there IMO. If Monte's fadeaway, hand in the face shot even happens to go in, we're in OT where we tend to get blown out on the road against good teams.

When you have a chance to beat #2 on the road in regulation, you HAVE to do it. Do not hope in OT you can get it done.

 

[BCoffClone125]

Can't complain about the coaching in that one. We had no business winning that game the way we matched up against Baylor's size and athleticism. I actually thought our coaching and game plan is what helped us stay in the game and neutralize their strengths against us. Last shot was frustrating, but to me it looked a play was drawn up and one of our guys didn't execute.

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

Nobody is melting down. This isn't the Iowa game. People are just pointing out what has become a theme with this team. i think if you poll people ITT, 99% would say we took a step in the right direction

 

[cycloneworld]

Why does everyone not remember that we played and beat Miami?

Because their best wins are against Rutgers and NC State?
