*** Official South Dakota State vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

He was wired higher than a kite. If he could just calm down and let the game to him, he could really be something. Hopefully, he'll get there eventually.

Crazy how OVER hyped Omaha was coming in and how under hyped Lipsey was.

I just came to view this thread after a great win and this was the first post I saw. This poster should he permanently banned

Also, the dude admitted it was the first game he watched all season. Arguably the greatest season in ISU history up to now and the moron comes to post that???

Hason Ward shot chart from ESPN.com



I'm going to assume he'll be ready to play Saturday until I hear differently.

For what it's worth, Ward and Lipsey tend to limp around the court on a consistent basis. I learned not to read too much into it. Hope for the best, and they were both on the bench (and not the training room) at the end.

I think Lipsey tweaked the shoulder that's bothered him for much of the season. Ward seemed fine to me. And seriously, some need to chill the f out.

I really hope it was just a nut tap

That is the wife’s post win plan.

That guy on our team that copies Dirk is nice

What is wrong with Lipsey again??

I understand this response. But I have been an ISU fan for nearly 50 years (I am old), and have seen too many "what ifs" because of ISU injuries. I DON'T want another Georges Niang situation & that is why I was so upset. Injuries happen randomly - but I don't want an injury to happen because there's NO NEED for a player to be in the game. It's why I wouldn't have felt sorry for Greiner from Baylor had she gone down with an injury when Mulkey was still playing her - up 30pts - at the end of their games.
This team is special & this coaching staff is special - I want ISU to be at full strength in every game they play in this tourney. It's the reason for my response.

Pretty sure those injuries have been lingering for quite a while and this is semantics, but I wouldn't call it full strength.

I'm guessing Omaha has spent time with ISU's sports psychologist like so many of our athletes. If not, it seems like he could really benefit by doing so. He's so gifted physically, I just think his biggest challenge is between his ears. I think he wants it so badly it hurts his play. One of these days, he's going to relax, get some confidence, and really take off.

He was clearly a troll

SEC sucks. South Carolina goes down as well

Oh yeah, forgot about them.

 

[Bob f]

Seems like he emulates Larry from time to time.

Milan was an assassin tonight. (And honestly has been since the start of the Big12 tourney),
Really confident, and really hunting his shots. Great game!

 

[BoomerClone]

It seems about normal. The first time I watch all year and they **** the bed.

How do you not lock them down after they pull within 10? No sense of urgency at all!

Man, you’re dumb. lol

 

[Cyclonepride]

Just looks like he's super eager to do well and can't calm down for it. That's a good problem imo.

My wife laughs at me because when I’m nervous, I do that with simple things like reaching for a drink and knock over half the stuff on the table lol

Any update on game time for Saturday?

I thought against Baylor he started to look more comfortable last weekend.

Anyone watch Calipari after the game? Someone said he is whining.

 

[RoseClone]

Reminds me of Freshman Melvin Ejim. He had the same issue

Yep. Fans hated him....now they want his jersey in the rafters.
