*** Official IOWA STATE vs #20 UCONN Game(Day) Thread ***

[Tpups21]

UConn just answers each time ISU makes a little run.

UConn is a great team. They just go on 8 point runs like it’s nothing. Reminds me of that Morris, niang, Thomas and Long team

They do have the weapons. Could be a great team.

 

[CycloneVet]

Does OSun get tired, seems like he isn’t in for long stretches

 

[davegilbertson]

Holmes’ air balled three just killed momentum. The three he made right before looked like an awful shot that luckily went in. Got to be smarter.

Shot clock was expiring

 

[JBone84]

Oh no, split screen reappearance.

 

[ExCyment]

Lipsy needs the green light to start shooting threes. Add that threat to his game and watch out.

 

[CoKane]

We're fighting as hard as we can. We're just so much less talented than them

 

[CapnCy]

Sign of a really good team when they always have an answer.

It's early but I don't see how this UConn team doesn't get a very nice seed in March.

Yeah. Credit to UConn as they are doing everything needed to win and are talented. We just have had a lot of small things go wrong that UConn immediately takes advantage of.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

They are over playing him. UConn is playing in your face D

The are.

It's early in the season so always hard to tell. But they look like a legit final 4 contender. They are big, athletic, play defense and can shoot. Or at least they have for the past 4 days.

We have had 4 scoreless periods of 2+ minutes. One 3 minute stretch where we only scored 2pts. UConn defense is as good or better than ours. EVERYTHING seems like a monumental struggle just to get a contested shot off.

Ya. This looks like a top 10 team.

 

[sigh]

dang, we get within 5 and sub? That group was flowing

 

[Darius Bieber]

We take way too much time to do anything offensively.

 

[madguy30]

Not really a bash if he really has been invisible this game.

No but the 'goes from 31 points to this!?' type of thing sounds like Grill is supposed to just go out and keep it going.

I can't think of too many good rhythmic clean looks that ISU has had.

 

[AuH2O]

UConn is legit. They are just relentlessly cutting, have incredible size, and defend very hard.

 

[CloniesForLife]

This UCONN team looks very good. Just tough.

 

[CycloneVet]

Stop trying to throw a lob to grill with bodies arohnd

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

Man, I'd take Andre Jackson on my team.

 

[davegilbertson]

How anyone is finding a thing to be negative about tonight is really something.

Do I wish we were up 10? Sure. But they're playing their asses off. Good developments.

 

[CychiatricWard]

We play so hard but our offense just stalls too much to be effective when the other team is playing like that. It is what it is. We won’t get rocked on the boards like this much I would imagine.

And an awful oop attempt to grill again…..
