*** Official #25 Washington State vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[keepngoal]

They just showed how to be a trap…. It works when you travel, lol

Good news about Wells being their offense is adjustments can be made and no one else is really hot

 

[madguy30]

Wells goes off, ISU struggles to make shots, Milo with no points, and we are tied at half? I think ISU controls the second half

Credit to Wells: he's a smooth one.

Keshon needs to stop playing hero ball

Folks have said this all year about Keshon. Yes, I hope he plays with balance in the 2nd. But Keshon driving to the hoop opens up our offense so much! Hopefully he has a good 2nd half.

We will find that gear and we will make a run. this team always proves me wrong when I doubt

 

[StLouisClone]

We played terrible and it's only tied. Wazzu has confidence that they can hang. Hopefully we start forcing more turnovers.

Hasan Ward has clearly outplayed Robert Jones over last 5 or 6 games. I expect to see Ward get the bulk of the minutes in the 2nd half.

He's like 35lbs!! Actually I yelled at my husband earlier when he texted Badger friends a slightly taunting comment so I think he cursed us with that Bucky type playing

Let's make wins, not excuses.

Ehh. Using his elbow to create space for almost every shot

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Only 5 turnovers in the first half for them... that number needs to triple by the end of the game

I think Washington State has shown that they aren't that good. One guy is beating us, but really we are beating ourselves. A lot of teams would have a double digit lead against us after that terrible performance. The fact that we are tied is mind boggling.

Would take him as a transfer once that conference explodes

 

[Cupped]

Don't understand why Gilbert didn't hold for the last shot, and really don't understand why there was no foul called on his drive.

Agree! We are getting worse treatment by the refs than we did at the Alamo bowl!

Get out of the locker room early so Milan can get some warmup shots. If he starts hitting we'll run away with this!

 

[Dannynoonan]

Seems the entire team is “tight” and I’m not sure how that gets fixed at halftime.
Maybe listening to Yanni would help. Idk.

 

[Gunnerclone]

As much criticism as Keshon gets when it's not working, he's really one of those "if you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best" type players.

And he doesn’t shut down the effort.

 

[tim_redd]

Their great offensive plan has us unsure of our traps and double teams.

 

[jcf817]

I expect a completely different 2nd half from the officials. Lots of crap foul calls but not on the team hacking Keshon to death.

 

[trevn]

Pretty sure Wazzu is undefeated when leading at the half. Good thing we are tied

 

[t-noah]

Let's plug the Well in half #2

 

[CloneLawman]

I am worried we only did well when their big went to the bench with two fouls. With him out there, they were killing us.

*Checks game log and determines Iowa State's largest deficit.* *Looks up "killing" in the cayin-speak dictionary.*

Hasan Ward has clearly outplayed Robert Jones over last 5 or 6 games. I expect to see Ward get the bulk of the minutes in the 2nd half.

I hope if the 2nd half starts poorly TJ makes a sub quicker than his standard 3.5 minutes.
