*** Official Kansas State vs #3 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[Bo Darville]

Some truth to this probably. We got a few guys that just aren’t giving much production now that they have been scouted better. Even a few guys that really are struggling to do anything well. Milan hurt, Tamin is hurt and apparently isn’t going to get better. Rebounding a huge and more recurring issue now.

I don’t think we are near as bad as it looked today, but we aren’t very deep now, that’s a reality, and we have a lot of holes.

Think if they just correct the energy issue that has popped up a couple times we can be ok, but we might have to play slower to cover some of these deficiencies. Time will tell, I just have to see a better effort Monday night, today was really poor.

Yep.

The drop off from Milan to Curtis was 0, if not a net plus depending on matchups. The drop off from Curtis to Heise is dramatic, if not catastrophic.

I think you're right that this team needs to play slower. The problem is that we aren't the defensive team that we were last year.

A legit #3 can’t get boat raced at home by KSU.

...has ISU been a legit #3?

As the season has progressed and other teams get traction imo it's safe to say there's a lot of teams they'd have to play really well to beat.

It’s Tangs sister

OH. Yeah, OK.

Remember her from last year. I'll ignore whoever this is.

 

[brentblum]

Someone needs to talk to Blum about Heise. If Nate isn’t paying us to play for this team we got a raw deal.

I’m sure this is in the heat of the moment, but this is very unfortunate towards Nate and his family and the coaches.

It’s never as good or bad as it seems. Some people need to remember that as fans

 

[t-noah]

We will lose that, at Kansas, and at UCF. Probably at ksu too

Wrong. BB is up and down. We'll be back.

What might be clear is that we are not top 4 or top 8, right now.

Ebb and flow. 10 more conference games to go. Lot of games after that.

For sure. I'm not even sure why I bother responding to some of the doomers.

Don’t worry they’ll be very quiet as this team hits it’s stride again

1 seed definitely gone, but I still think(and hope) we finish the season strong. So much talent on this team that just needs to get their minds right. I still predict a 2 seed come March.

 

[t-noah]

this team has zero basketball skills

Have you ever seen them run a set play? or set a decent screen

Twilight Zone? Talking to yourself again?

 

[t-noah]

Houston sucks. Tech beat Houston at Houston. We beat tech at tech. By the transitive property, we are better than Houston.

Any given day. Sad that we lost, but by flying spaghetti monster, I do love the chaos of college basketball.

Finally, a sensible and amusing post.

 

[t-noah]

Based on the upcoming KState schedule, I have a feeling they'll also start losing again

Good hunch. Next 7:

at Arizona State
Kansas
Arizona
at BYU
at Utah
Arizona State
at UCF

I could see getting a couple of those (maybe at UU & home vs ASU)

Damn. Won’t be surprising at all if they lose the next 5. They’ll be 10-16 overall at that point

What is the purpose of negative speculation on K-State? They just kicked our @ss. Don't get it.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

2 longest home court streaks go down on same day.

Was Houston the other one?

Agree. Thank you. A##hats that make comments towards the players are unwanted and uncalled for.

You take the good and the bad with your fandom. It goes too far when it gets negatively personal to the players.

Negative comments to and about the players, NIL or not, is not what I think about when I think of Cyclone fans.

 

[NATEizKING]

Long season, people overreact to one game

 

[cyclones500]

It isn't negative speculation. It's that KSU isn't likely to do well in the next few games.

K-state might surprise us and be hitting a groove.

 

[Erik4Cy]

A legit #3 can’t get boat raced at home by KSU.

It sure shouldn't happen.

100%.

Long season, people overreact to one game

Some are, for sure. But I think a lot of people here aren't reacting to just one game. There is clearly a trend the last five games. It may or may not continue. Sure hope it doesn't. BEAT KU!

 

[t-noah]

It isn't negative speculation. It's that KSU isn't likely to do well in the next few games.

I get that. But based on what they did to us, I'm just saying, why speculate? They are either much better, in which case saying they are going to lose all the rest of their games (I'm exaggerating) doesn't make sense. Or, they are bad. In which case saying they are going to lose all the rest of their games, doesn't make sense either, and it doesn't make us look good.

I'll repeat, I don't get why some are speculating on K-State. Let them leave town. We try again in Manhattan?

I appreciate the answer though.
