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

[fsanford]

I think our guys are out of gas. I like our depth but playing 3 in 4 is tough playing this style.

Great point, you expend so much on the defensive end

 

[Gunnerclone]

Hunter is not a play maker. He is a good defender.

Are you serious? He made a bunch of crazy passes and had plenty of throw down dunks and acrobatic layups. Along with the steals that created a lot of points. Hate the guy for leaving but respect the game he has.

 

[StLouisClone]

UConn grabbed virtually every 50/50 ball. Their length was too much and we look tired at times.

 

[CoKane]

What is with Osun? Grab the rebound lol

He's not a great rebounder. Highest total in a game this year for him is 5

 

[PickSix]

Walton is a dumb ass. Screw him. I put up with him for years listening as a neutral observer but he is blatantly disrespectful to our guys currently. We're losing, but have some respect as an announcer.

Not sure if he’s s always like this, but he’s been coming across as a clueless clown all night. Definitely not a fan.

 

[bosco]

UCONN is dangerous from pretty much every position on the floor, with a deep bench. And, tough D to boot.

Hate Hurley but respect this team.

Just because they beating us doesn't mean they are great. They are good but I don't think they are as good as we are making them look.

We don’t face any more teams with 7’2” machines? If not, then we should be good rest of this season.

Every one of us would have taken a 2-1 record coming in. Even better, that includes wins over Nova (I know it’s this year’s team but the name matters) and UNC. We ran into a really good team. This is only our 2nd non-con loss under TJ and you can’t fault our effort in either. If anything, this is going to push the new guys even harder - not a lot of teams like this in the A-10 or in high school.

ISU MBB is still undefeated you quisling

 

[clonedude]

Proud of the guys!

Hard to believe many on here were just hoping we could get to the NIT.

 

[CYDJ]

Finally one possession that doesn't work for them.

? You lost me at the tattoo part especially the ex

We’re losing this basketball game after upsetting number 1 and greatly exceeding expectations so far this season. What else could go wrong? This is when I miss her the most.

 

[CycloneJoe6]

I’m interested to see where this team is after we play St Johns/Iowa. Winning both of those would be awesome

It's a play on how some go all goth/emo over a loss in November.

Unless Gunner is actually just goth/emo style on Sundays.

 

[CychiatricWard]

Jaren, cmon man. Just take the damn ball to the hoop! Watson can’t shoot.

 

[StLouisClone]

Kalscheur just throws up prayers

 

[Gunnerclone]

Not if you're not crying the whole time.

I can’t cry anymore, my tears have all been shed.

This is setting up like the football season in that way... No expectations, then early season gives us hope, so then people are passed even though they did much better than expected. You can book it.

 

[CoKane]

Gabe isnt even remotely close today

 

[gocy444]

Tamin would’ve been a helluva safety should he have chosen that route

Look at his assist and turnover numbers for last year and this year
