Really wish we had that last possession back but all things considered, I like where were at right now. KU really could have put the gas pedal down and blown us out but we hung around and were right there.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Wish we were within 4 or 3 with that last possession, but I'll take it. Love the effort this team plays with. For only 7 ish players, we hold our own.

Iowa State on the rise.

Hell, yes on the rise. This is supposed to be the rebuilding year to end all rebuilding years, and we're playing the #3 team in the nation extremely tough.

Gameday is going to be at Baylor this year?? Wow.

 

[xboxfever]

you mean dribble out of control and bounce it off the other teams feet isn't a play? :skeptical:

The previous two years he would get to the hoop, but miss the layup.

 

[Clonehomer]

Great effort to end the half.

JVB needs to get some bench time. With about 5 minutes left he looked absolutely gassed. That's how he picks up the foolish fouls.

Creighton is being blown out the second half by Witchita State at Creighton. McD halftime adjustments are brilliant. 52-65. Two minutes left.

He really does need some rest but we really don't have any other choice right now.

This team is working hard...Scotty just does not have it. He's playing hard out there..god love him..but I sure wish we had somebody so we could set him down for the game...let that elbow heal.

 

[Wesley]

Colorado is tied at halftime at KSU 33-33. They are better than people thought.

 

[price26]

Need to go zone just to protect the big men. Railey with 3, JVB 2, and Godfrey picked up 2 offensive.

His elbow may be bad for awhile.

One thing I noticed was whoever is guarding down low is on the outside shoulder of the downlow shooter. Step to their other shoulder and force them to turn to the lane instead of the hoop.

 

[atlantacyclone]

Kind of close considering how bad the half looked. Let's go! They can win this!

Duke is on ESPN and losing at half 24-28 for Dickie V.

We let him establish himself too far down low.

 

[Clones21]

Just keep playing with them. Don't let them get on a 12-0 run. Just stop the runs and make shots.

 

[Cloner97]

Man, 4 years of college ball and Diante still doesn't have good handles. I didn't see the Nebraska game, but I am envisioning the last play of the half against KU was probably similar. CFH better get a point guard that can protect the ball

 

[chrishull14]

Scotty needs to work harder on offense. We do not value the ball at all. So many awful turnovers. Really working on the defensive end. Stamina will be an issue in the 2nd half. Crowd needs to push the team through the wall of fatigue and get the adrenaline pumping to the end. Our guards need to act like upper classmen. End of Neb. and end of this half were horrible.

 

[Psyclone Brian]

C'mon Cyclones!!!!
Let's start this 2nd half with our hair on fire!!! Start raining baskets from everywhere!

 

[Go2Guy]

This is gonna be another double-digit loss in our House.
