***Official Iowa State vs UNLV in Vegas Gameday Thread***

Anyone get an explanation how those idiot refs gave Cincy 2 straight jump balls last night.

I can't wait for the day when we are the team that starts the year strong, not having to find everyone's roles, shaking off the rust, etc.

This is what you should expect when you are relying in several first year guys and transfers. Maybe 2014-15 we'll have enough experienced talent to not have to break in half of our roster

 

[Cy$]

no more fadeaways...wtf guys

 

[ajk4st8]

Offensively poor again. Need to get it together. Still have a chance... gotta find a way to get to the line if we can't score.

I hate to be so negative. It is just disappointing seeing our guys just play so poorly. We cannot finish, we get so many looks around the basket and just can't make anything. I'm worried about Clyburn, doesn't seem like he has a clue.

UNLV talking about football is like Penn St. talking about basketball

 

[HFCS]

why would you chose to listen to UNLV audio?

Also there's a bit of a contact double standard with the fouls, we can't touch anyone and they can tackle us. Not shocking since it's a road game, but I thought maybe since it was a holiday tournament would feel more like a neutral court.

 

[HFCS]

man, contact double standard getting pretty ridiculous

 

[chadly82]

Well be fine guys stop haha our previous opponents did not prepare us for this level of competition...... We look like crap and only down a couple possessions

Good rebounding on the offensive glass we just have to do something with it!

Rebounding is one thing that's impressed me in the first half

exactly playing those "win before you take the floor schools" does nothing for us.

Good finish. The zone looked good.

 

[digZ]

2 point deficit going into half, I'll take it on the road against a talented team. We have a lot of extra chances due to our rebounding just have to get them to go

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

If UNLV could defensive rebound they be up double figures.

 

[istater7]

Gotta come out of the half a lot better than last night.

 

[Dryburn]

I can't believe as physical as it is inside and on drives, that UNLV only has 5 fouls.

 

[HFCS]

I'm pretty optimistic about the second half given how poorly we played on the road down just two.

Close... Our 13th of the game. Out-rebounding UNLV 26-22 at half.
