this seems like a team that wont ever be called soft and thats an important step forward after last year.

Was at the game, just curious to those who watched if you could hear us or not. Seemed like a pretty good contingent and a good scattering of groups in attendance. Of course 2 of the "defense, defense" chants happened during the back to back total defensive breakdowns.

Also Tingle is very good. Did find it funny he made the "shush" motion on his first dagger 3, shouldn't have to shush the crowd at home there tiger.

I was at the game. Tingle was the difference in the game, especially down the stretch hitting those outside shots. Many of his shots were contested but against a shorter person. If Haliburton hits his free throws, could have been a different ending.

Overall, actually encouraged by the game. OSU's experience playing together was apparent as the players knew their roles while ISU is still learning. Nixon's shot selection was atrocious taking outside shots he could have gotten later in the shot clock. Bolton and Haliburton should have the ball at crunch time as they appear to be the only ones who can generate any offense.

Don't make it more confusing than it needs to be. If someone backs up their point with logical reasoning, it shouldn't be discredited. If someone wants to say the HC doesn't know what he's doing and makes terrible decisions without offering up anything of substance, it's trolling.

ok so nothing from Malone should ever be considered anything but trolling then? Got it

 

[Cat Stevens]

We under no circumstances can say anything remotely critical of coaches.

so like this then, right?

Nice, felt like we had a significant portion of their 6k attendance. Problem is trying to have Jacobsen guard Tingle in the first half was a disaster. Worked much better having a quicker guy on him in the second half until those last 2 shots.
Agree on Bolton and Halliburton, couldn't believe we went to Solo in that situation. If our 2 bigs are going to be in and give up 3's, get outrebounded, and not score inside, welp..

If Nixon can't score this team won't be any good.

I think his college experience so far has pretty much established that he can’t score in an efficient way.

 

[helechopper]

Lol an Int!

 

[flynnhicks03]

After watching it, we looked like a team with decent parts and pieces but not a lot of cohesion yet. Defensive rotations were poor and offense was very streaky, but at times very fast and very fluid.

I want to believe we will improve as the season goes on with chemistry and consistency. It looks like raw talent isn't the main issue.[/QUOTE

Agreed, and we seemed to figure some things out in the second half, but just fell short, plus they made some crazy shots. TH realized he needs to take control and he did. I think we'll continue to see these guys improve.

 

[CoKane]

Way less people accidentally posting in here during the football game than I expected. Good job team

Right. On his good nights, he’s an asset. On his inefficient nights, I hope we give the bench a chance. A freshman will benefit from those minutes more than a 5th year senior.

Sorry if this was covered. I didn't read the whole thread but was this game actually on the radio? I was on the road and tried numerous stations that are normally reliable and I had nothing.

It was on AM 420

Just popping in to mention that Sidearm Sports streaming on cyclones.tv sucks and never did, as far as I know, manage to stream the audio from the game yesterday.

It remains a disgrace that eastern Iowa Cyclone fans have no reliable radio affiliate for Cyclone sports and the alternatives we're directed to are so useless.

 

[Cyched]

I'd be less irritated if the guy who lit us up wasn't named Tinkle.

I am a bonefide computer dummy, but for $30 you can get a Roku Express, then add Cyclones TV and watch very good streaming of Cyclones TV
