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

[alarson]

Last years squad was way more enjoyable to watch

I miss BRE.

 

[ABECyguy]

How did we play so well against Houston with both Gilbert and jones and can’t even compete tonight?

 

[BeaverClone]

Total domination. In no phase of this game were we prepared or competitive. Not one.

The defense has to be reevaluated this offseason. We can pad our stats against the UCFs and TCUs but this defense cannot hold up against high level team

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

This is the largest margin of separation in the round of 32

This will be by far the biggest loss by a team seeded 4 or higher for the entire tournament, guaranteed. Just total embarrassment in every way

 

[cyatheart]

This isn’t CW’s fault. But I hope we are able to have a frank conversation about why these dud games continue to happen, especially offensively where our game plan WAY TOO OFTEN turns into heroball (we lose almost every time it does).

This one stings and in TJ I trust but he needs to take a Matt Campbell post-Ohio game approach to our offense and why we are so damn inconsistent.

Somewhere, tj lost this team, no idea why, I hope he thinks hard about this year and what went wrong.

I’ll get flamed for this but I very candidly will not miss this team. Some special players but they didnt have it as a cohesive unit. Last years squad was way more enjoyable to watch. Complete disappointment.

They did until West Virginia then never recovered from that point. We are the only team that can lose by 19 at home to a horrible Kansas State team and then blow out Arizona at home by 17. The team peaked too early and they were not mentally tough enough to make it a whole season. Potential was there. The team just lost it all after WVU.

 

[quasistellar]

For the first time probably every, I don’t think I’ll listen to their copium tomorrow

Yeah, CW just isn't really ever going to ruffle any feathers in anything that could be conceived as negative towards a coach.

He overcompensates to the positive since he doesn't want to seem biased due to running a fan site/company. The reality is he'd have a lot more listeners if he let loose once in a while or at least had a reporter on staff that would.

 

[CyGuy5]

Watch New Mexico beat Michigan State too. What an embarrassing, fitting end to the most disappointing season in ISU history

 

[NWICY]

What would they have to lose in this game?

25 points down play the entire bench.

 

[cycloneworld]

Jefferson gets his pocket picked so much it’s unreal

He’s a turnover machine yet we have him handling the ball so much. Why?

 

[atlantacyclone]

This is beyond depressing. WTF is going on?

 

[Cyientist]

Alright, it’s been a year. This is too sad to watch.

 

[Jim Walden’s Follies]

I’ll get flamed for this but I very candidly will not miss this team. Some special players but they didnt have it as a cohesive unit. Last years squad was way more enjoyable to watch. Complete disappointment.

This team has lacked a heart all season.

 

[ISUTex]

What would they have to lose

Nothing.

 

[AlaCyclone]

Sarcasm, right?

Yes, based on the comment to which I responded. ISU did NOT lose this game tonight due to Mississippi Having better palyers due to SEC money.

How did we play so well against Houston with both Gilbert and jones and can’t even compete tonight?

Houston slept walked through that.

 

[swclone11]

Tbh even if we were playing well, we may not be winning. Ole Miss is playing very good and matches up really well with us. Sucks, but it is what it is. Recriminations will come in the days ahead, but tonight is a night to just be sad

 

[ABECyguy]

Jackson would be so much better if he played stronger. Just put the ball in the hoop. Don’t just try to draw the foul

 

[heitclone]

Might give up 90, us being regarded as a good defensive team clearly shows how metrics can be manipulated. We aren't even making them work, it's like a scrimmage.

 

[cyclones500]

@HoopsTournament, is 27 points the biggest point spread for ISU loss in tournament history (2005, UNC)? We might surpass.
