*** Official Ole Miss vs #15 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[t-noah]

You'll probably live to see the end of the game!

do I have to?

 

[Walden4Prez]

I'm talking defensively

I have been talking about of complete lack of an offensive game plan.

 

[3TrueFans]

We were told this was a Final Four caliber team. They literally quit on their season and said “good enough” at 17-2. That’s why I’m miserable. Won’t speak for others.

Have you tried therapy?

Need Milan to do SOMETHING in the second half. 1-7 with 3/4 of them being wide open isn’t a winning recipe.

But most importantly, need to shore up our defense. We aren’t winning this game giving up 80+ but we seem hell bent on repeating the BYU game in KC except for the shot making.

Him and Joshua going towards the basket rather than settling for 3s would be my prescription, but then, I’m just a message board idiot.

 

[madguy30]

Only hope is MS got tired last game and maybe that happens now. But ISU needs to find some rhythm.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

My goodness. Why do some of you even watch? If ISU made me as miserable as this board seems to be, I’d be giving up on sports all together. Sports are entertainment. If they’re a source of despair in your life, turn them off and find a new hobby.

Some people on this board may have listened to Blum an donated to "WeWill". I think those people can as upset as they want.

Firmly believe we get back into this and have a shot at the end. Ole Miss has made lots of shots they won't make in the 2nd half. And, Milan is bound to hit a couple.yep

Yeah, Milan should make them if open like he has been. Keep shooting them. Curt, shoot them when open.

Id run it through Jefferson....rack some fouls up and slowly come back at FT line with the clock stopped.

If you think this team quit, then you should really find something different to do with your time.

Sure..getting injured is quitting..nice logic!

 

[3TrueFans]

do I have to?

Hell no, this is America, baby.

 

[cycloneworld]

Ol Miss adjusted to collapse the middle and we can’t hit outside shots

Beard outcoached TJ by a mile in the first half. Let’s see what adjustments we make.

 

[xboxfever]

Devil's advocate: ISU could have Watson guard their PG or SG on D, but then have Jefferson point forward up the court.

Jefferson turns it over, literally, everytime he has brought the ball on the court.

 

[danvillecyclone]

I can name a number of tournaments when we played like crap. Made the other team look like a final four team.

Only for that team to lose easily the next game.

This will happen again.

 

[hoopitup]

I don’t understand why we stopped going into the middle. Need to start running offense through Jefferson in the post again.

This exactly. We were dominating down low to start. Get back to it and open up the perimeter.

 

[BigLame]

I'd like if we tried Milan down low & feed him from up high. He's had 4"-6" on his defender most of the game.

 

[Erik4Cy]

Lipsey & Milan def have to add something here in the 2nd half.

 

[AuH2O]

In the end, this team hasn’t been elite 8 caliber once Gilbert got hurt at the start of conference play.

His ball pressure, transition offense and ability to get in the lane at will was what took this team to another level.

With Tamin hobbled, it’s just too much to overcome.

 

[SoleCyclone]

I know TJ won't do it but we should go
Jones
Heise
Watson
Momcilovic
Jefferson
Sub in Jackson and Chatfield to rest front court a bit. Kelderman a bit but unfortunately Lipsey is obviously injured and can't move. He's not moving on offense and not rotating on defense.

 

[NY Chicago Fan]

Jones needs to probably play entire half once he gets in. Not sure that works with defense intensity they need. But Tamin went out multiple times I think first half which doesn't bode well as they need those two to break down defense

ISU also needs to be patient and pass well into post

If you don't think like me you must be ********. Shut the **** up dude.
