*** Official West Virginia vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[Drew0311]

This team is really hard to watch right now. This offense is just like our football offense. Both teams play good defense and just terrible offense. Right now we don’t generate points on the fast break or anything. WV plays basically almost our same style but fast breaks and gets some easier points

 

[Marcelason78]

At least there will be no second half collapse headline. Hope our threes can fall in the second half.

 

[isuno1fan]

Gabe should have legs 2nd half. Hopefully he can stay on the court

Doubtful. Will get some ticky tack foul undoubtedly

 

[Lineup]

whats with all the subbing every four minutes

 

[CoachHines3]

If we lose this one, I don't know why we wouldn't switch places with WVU in terms of NCAA seeding

bc it’s not based on results of the head to head

it’s based off of resume.

WVU could be a 7 seed imo but they don’t have the wins we have. They are 4-12 in Q1 games. We have double their Q1 wins

 

[rochclone]

They aren’t gonna fix this. They will be freshmen.

I disagree. Milan is a 10-12 a game guy the minute he steps on the Court. I suspect we get 8-12 from Bilew as well.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

Gabe w/ foul trouble, Grill still looks like the back is bothering him, and Kunc hasn't been doing much. Who else do you want?

How about a little of Watson and Ward? They played minutes when ISU was doing well.

 

[Goclones1727]

Can we please do something besides just swing the ball side to side? Anyone wanna move off the ball? Back door cuts? Pin down screens? Rarely see any complex action.

 

[CoachHines3]

What other options do we have? Gabe with 3 fouls and Shoon hasn’t done squat on offense so far.

they haven’t thrown shoon the ball once down low.

Exactly! There is no one else!

 

[ClonerJams]

At least we won't blow a halftime lead

I know we want to control the pace of games but sometimes I think we take too much air out of the ball. Sometimes it would be nice to try and generate a few fast break points since we suck on offense.

Grill is in a lot of pain and Gabe is in foul trouble. Not as much depth means you have to try to sub a lot so the guys out there are not getting super tired

 

[Inthesystem]

I commend him for trying to find SOMETHING by getting to the rim at least. There's just not much room for him to operate and then the three won't fall.

I agree we need people trying to get to the hoop. Grill is not looking for his shot - he doesn’t look right. No one looks open.

 

[CoachHines3]

huh?

grill looks way better moving around.

kunc is at least an offensive threat and has shown the ability.

 

[TheJackWePack5]

The tried and he’s getting bullied by that mammoth WVU has out there.

He’s a non-factor tonight.

Watson played...

 

[mjhavlo76]

The way we are so sloppy and disrupted on offense, and horrible on defense I don’t see us digging out of this one. Bobby Huggins has his defense playing, really, really well!

 

[SEIOWA CLONE]

2 of 6 from three-point line for ISU while WV is 6 of 16. The shooting has totally disappeared over the past couple of weeks, and we no longer take it to the hoop. Instead of pushing the ball towards the hoop, we continue to pass it around out front, and no one wants to turn the corner and take it to the hoop, when we did, we scored. Do it more often.
