*** Official Maryland vs #13 IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

Tar and Feather me but this is not a tournament team right now. Could barely escape weak opponents (while other top 15 teams were winning their games by 50) and first tough defensive and we fold.

 

[HFCS]

We won't win many games shooting the 3 like this. Doesn't have to be the key of our offense, but can't be this horrific.

Naz is really off, not to use the backup QB strategy but I've wondered a few times seeing if Custer can knock down an outside shot.

Maryland is solid team, but not outstanding. We just played like garbage!

 

[bigdaddykane]

Is BDJ even playing? He hasn't done **** since the 1st half

 

[ianoconnor]

Maybe Feinstein was right about leaving us out of his top 25

 

[Jsievers24]

We could have won shooting like we normally do. But we aren't going to be good enough to win the big12 with defense like this

 

[cyguytillidie]

Holy smokes guys. It's one game. Fred is going to get it figured out.

 

[CapnCy]

Better to have a crap game in November then in March. Learn and move on.

Exactly. If it's going to happen, better to a pre-season team that is decent vs 1st round of tourney.

Our luck Iowa will beat the **** out of them.

 

[CyGuy5]

C'mon Heft. ISU's not playing bad defense? Are you serious?!?

 

[19clone91]

Meanwhile Maryland can't miss a single shot.

Every single one of theirs has been wide open so it makes sense. We have NO defense right now

 

[Tredici]

What are Marylands shooting stats? They've definitely been well timed but I doubt their percentages are overly great

http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/maryland-terrapins-iowa-state-cyclones-201411250277/

45.6%. 40% from 3, 100% from the line

Naz Long way too late.

You guys forget. Except for last season to an extent, Hoiberg lets them play their way and then when it doesn't work he gets them to play his way. We're fine, part of the process.

And that is the difference between good coaches and great coaches IMO.

 

[Clonefan94]

We're getting hosed tonight. Refs don't make shots, but it would help if we actually got some calls for once

I'm usually all for bashing refs and they certainly did us no favors, but if you really think the refs had anything to do with the outcome of this game, you haven't been watching the same game I have. Unless they are the ones missing all of our shots.

 

[cyinne]

If I have to listen to Len Elmore again this year it will be too soon....

 

[BryceC]

The defense has been bad, but it is nowhere close to how bad the offense and rebounding has been. The defense has been good enough if those two things were functional.

 

[bigdaddykane]

Little too late long

 

[CyAllIn]

I don't like how our guys have been complaining to refs at every whistle and crying about a guy talking crap. Just play the game and quit crying

 

[State43]

This the same team? The team on the court tonight is not a top 25 team. hope this game is an annomoly
