***Official Iowa State vs. West Virginia Gameday Thread ***

[CYUL8R]

Glad to get the win, and surprised we were able to get an 18 point lead. Even more surprised by that we gave that away in less than 9 minutes. That should not happen. Did WVU finish 9-12 on threes. Closing out games has been somewhat of a problem under CFH.

Sure doesn't help when you're playing the other team AND the refs. That second half officiating is something I would have only expected at Carver-Hawkeye...

[MIClone]

Eric is right on that Ejim's 5th foul was a terrible call and VERY costly.

[HFCS]

That push off for the 3 was a replay of Jordan's push off when he hit the shot against the Jazz years ago to win the NBA championship.

He pushed the back of the calf on a player whose momentum was already taking him by?

[Prone2Clone]

Dog **** officiating. Just dog ****.

Yeah or at Phog allen fieldhouse.

I am not disagreeing that the same fouls that were called on ISU could be called on WVU 4 times every possession. However, you cannot let a team needing 3Ps to go on a 9-12 streak on 3Ps closing out the game.

We usually are on the wrong side of officiating this year it seems.

Some of those that went in were from way beyond the three point line.

Agreed, but 9-12 wouldn't have closed the gap. 9-12 and an extremely bogus foul fest on one possession did.

Officials don't make an 18 point lead evaporate. Poor defences do.


Oh well.

[swarthmoreCY]

That game was wayyy too close. WVU sucks bad and we needed a last second shot to win

WVU sucks bad? When was the last time a Huggy coached team sucked bad? Never has and never will. What did suck is our defense in the last 9 minutes.

[cyclonepower]

Felt like OSU at home last yr,just be thankful and move on...

[BuffettClone]

The shot at the end of the game with the ref smiling and laughing with the WVU players speaks a lot towards this game...we got lucky to win this game playing 5 against 8

So? After they prove to be hot, you start defending them from way beyond the line.

[swarthmoreCY]

2012/13 Cyclones + Royce White = Top 5. Damn you Royce White.

QFT.
