*** Official #13 IOWA STATE vs Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

[Cyclonefan710]

I don’t know why it took this long into the big 12 season for teams to realize that just because a player is out there doesn’t mean you have to actually guard him.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Missouri is still a rival?

Probably not, but always in my heart

 

[HFCS]

Conspiracy theories aside the real problem coming out of this game is that anyone who doesn't press ISU is stupid, that's more than just a fluke now. No one is going to guard Lipsey, they were able to completely shut down our points in the paint with Lipsey's defender just looking to help. The last part is beyond my bball knowledge, but being unable to stop that switch and ISO for 15 mins is all kinds of terrifying with the much better teams and coaches coming up.

How is the free point flop a conspiracy? It’s horrifically bad. Who cares about the why? The what and how are crystal clear.

Time to adjust expectations again. Dreaming of a 2 or 3 seed and Big 12 title was fun after hoping just making the tournament; now thinking 5 or 6 more likely, which is fine given preseason expectations. We're just not a good road team.

You don’t like me because I kept telling you Prohm wasn’t fit for the job two years ago and you couldn’t stand that fact.

I’m well aware that Bob don’t single handily lose us this game, but the fact still stands that he isn’t a D1 basketball player and shouldn’t see minutes for this team.

I mean, sometimes Bob is the only option given our personnel. But he's in there in some puzzling situations, especially late when his FT% is a huge concern most games.

It would be really nice if Tamin could shoot even 30% from 3. That's all it would take

Has he shot enough for us to know that he can't?

He's shot 14 all year.

 

[alarson]

Is this a copypasta or what

If not, it should be.

 

[HouClone]

And then depression sets in.

This is gonna be fun to read when everyone sobers up at work in the morning.

My Microsoft Teams group chat with my Cyclone fan colleagues is about to be lit

He should never play 18 min or anywhere close to that.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

We were in a zone a decent amount and Lipsey just got abused by Harmon.

He is exactly the type of player we’re missing which is someone that can go get you a bucket when you need one.

Holmes had been that guy for us in a lot of Big 12 games so far. He was pretty off his game tonight.

Might even be a higher seed. Still need to play at Texas, at Baylor, and at KState, all of which are probably losses the way we’ve played on the road.

Nope. I was as ready as anyone else to move on from Prohm two years ago.

I don't like you because you're an arrogant tool who thinks way too highly of himself and you don't even have the common courtesy or decency to offer to leave the tip on a meal that someone bought for you. Total D-bag move.

 

[HoustonClone]

I'll admit I've not looked as his prep stats to see if he was successful (or at least adequate) shooting from deep. I am assuming he CAN shoot if given the green light, right? Maybe?

 

[bustamoveisu]

How is this person not banned yet?

They are trying to determine what prison he is in so they can return him to his cell.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

He should never play 18 min or anywhere close to that.

I am waiting for TJ to pull a Ferentz and tell us all he practices well.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Has he shot enough for us to know that he can't?

He's shot 14 all year.

IDK what he would project to with more attempts. It's not a very good looking shot though, when we've seen it

 

[HFCS]

Yeah even if they weren't as bad as most think they were, including me, to say they were FINE is just being obtuse. In no way were the officials fine.

Every game ever played has a half dozen plays or more like they called that “flop” on. That is the worst rule in American sports right now, worse than the targeting inconsistency in cfb. I don’t know if I’d trust the best nba officials to make that judgement and these college refs that clearly suck should never be making that call.

I hereby declare that The Great Panic of 2023.
