**** WBB: Gamethread - Cyclones host Baylor - 2 pm Sunday ESPN ****

[ISU_Guy]

This feels like a JV type game to me. How the hell do we not know how to swing the ball around to get an open look when they’re putting everybody in the lane on defense?
Or make completely wide open shots. Like nobody within 10 feet.

We should literally have about 42 three-pointers this game the way they’re playing defense.

Our offense is not going to get us the W here I'm afgraid. yiou can tell we are not in any flow when they completely sink off Williams. We need to sit her for a few minutes and give her a rest and let Jackson handle the ball, that will reset our O maybe.

About 10 minutes to late I’m afraid.

 

[Old87]

The lack of adjustments by the coaching staff is totally frustrating today.

 

[ZorkClone]

Jada’s confidence is shot today.

It’s in her head. But when Jada takes more shots than Audi and Addi has one point, it’s usually not a good story ending…

 

[bozclone]

Why do you put both Jada and Beatty in the game together. They are sagging off both. I would consider AJ at the point and Hare and Harris on the wings.

 

[cycloneworld]

This is coaching at a junior high level. I thought Bill to be better than this, but just really bad.

Not even attempting any adjustments. His lineup choices are awful today too. They won’t even guard two of our guards so why put them both on the floor together??

 

[MR82]

FG % is 38 for both teams.

 

[throwittoblythe]

Without guards stepping up we have no answer to their collapsing defense. Crooks is neutralized.

We are playing right into their strategy. Double Crooks and dare us to hit shots. And we keep throwing up bricks. Williams should not shoot another 3 this game.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

This is junior high crap. Bills refusal to adjust cost us this game.

 

[Cymark86]

Without guards stepping up we have no answer to their collapsing defense. Crooks is neutralized.

Coach needs to put those guards in a position to succeed.

 

[Marcelason78]

They literally don’t even guard Jada or Beaty at the 3.

Jada now 4/14 from three. Game plan is to let her shoot it and luckily for Baylor it’s working.

 

[CYDJ]

We've been exposed. Apparently you leave a... checks notes... 26.7% 3 point shooter wide open. Break ISU.

 

[Rogue52]

Frustrating that a collapsed defense has basically neutralized us with no answer.

 

[acoustimac]

Second half Baylor has dominated the boards and our shooting percentage has dropped nearly 10 percent. Biggs has 17 boards

 

[Marcelason78]

Coach needs to put those guards in a position to succeed.

They are wide open looks.

 

[bluestarcyclone]

This is just bad

 

[Erik4Cy]

ISU is cold as ice shooting anything. Just no shot confidence whatsoever.

 

[acoustimac]

We have made one more shot than Baylor. But the free throw discrepancy is horrendous.

 

[Cymark86]

They are wide open looks.

Wrong guards taking them. That’s my point.
