*** Official Ohio State Vs #24 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[Cyched]

Thought we looked good with Lard in there. Hopefully he can avoid the ******** calls in the second half

 

[CloneGuy8]

How are we only down 2?

 

[Doc]

16-17 minutes of the half was 24-9 OSU. We outscored them 15-2 in just a few minutes.

Iowa State's offense is atrocious. Played much better defenses than this. Unprepared, sloppy, mo identity, etc. Let's hope adjustments are made at the half...

 

[MeowingCows]

EIGHT minute scoreless spell yet down 2. Survived that. Please do the opposite of that next half.

10. It was 10 straight minutes and 15 (16?) straight empty possessions.

I'm not sure I've ever seen suckage that bad in a game before. Utter miracle that we're still in this game at all.

 

[Cyclonepride]

They’re collapsing/digging on all our drives (and the drive/kick are kinda part of sharing unless we’re just going to pass around the perimeter).

Need to free ourselves better and hit our open shots.

1. Played one of our worst halves of the year.
+
2. Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.
+
3. A lot of bad turnovers.
+
4. 10 minute basket drought?
= Only down 2?
I guess I'll take it. It can't get much worse. Cannot do that in the 2nd half or our season is over, though.

Babb’ going to have to play the whole 20 and knock some shots down. And Wig for THT. The starting four + Wig seems to be our best offensive 5. We got this.

 

[CycloneErik]

If anybody from Alabama watched that half, we can kill that rumor.

How are we only down 2?

OSU is a poor team.

 

[MeowingCows]

Only silver lining so far is that if the law of averages kicks in, we will absolutely annihilate them next half.

 

[fenton06]

Keep THT on the bench, please!

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

If anybody from Alabama watched that half, we can kill that rumor.

Truth

 

[CycloneErik]

Oh, Seth, we don't like to play offense, either. We mostly just like to run.

 

[cyclone101]

Didn’t play great but didn’t play awful either. OSU wasn’t impressive. Hopefully second half evens out the cold shooting.

We didn't play awful? Are we even watching the same game or did I miss something? 24 points dude.

 

[FinalFourCy]

Only down 2, shooting 29%? They actually are in good shape.

OSU and the allowed contact have a lot to do with that.

This. The less we make them pay for collapsing and getting into the gaps, the more they’ll do it.

 

[UnCytely]

I really don't know if I want this team to win or just get the season over. We have so much talent, but play down to whatever team we play. Much of this is on Prohm, which is why I am ambivalent about if he leaves or not. If he does, we need someone who can recruit, protect the home court, and beat Iowa. What is Jeff Hornacek doing right now?

 

[cyups2323]

How in the hell can steve just stand there so calm whem we are playing like this? We literally handed ohio st the ball 3 possessions in a row and he is just standing there showing no emotion. Grow some balls man.

 

[ChickenNuggetMan]

Man, that half was turrible
