*** Official Iowa State at West Virginia Game (Day) Thread ***

Wish Tyrus McGee was still around. Can't count on Brick Taylor. Wow, what an *** beating!!!

So if we keep WVU under 110 points, is that a moral victory?

I just don't get how you can get so humiliated against a mediocre team. I refuse to believe that WVU is an awesome team at 14-10 wins against K-State and Baylor aren't impressive...

I don't think I've ever critiqued CFH coaching...but it is beyond horrible that he has not switched to a zone. Beyond horrible. They have hit 11 threes in this man and we can't guard Staten one on one.

I mean, you realize a zone will be even worse for defending their offense, right?

Now every team knows the game plam: drive the lane. Every single time is a foul on ISU. Every single time.

And most of the time it's the correct call. Our guards are all terrible defensively. That's why Niang and Ejim have to battle foul trouble every game. The guards don't fight through screens so we have big guys on guards they aren't fast enough to stay with. The guards get beat off the dribble easily. We're either picking up fouls or we're giving up easy buckets.

Impressively, we tend to do both. :biglaugh:

Play zone when a team is shooting lights out from deep ... That is interesting.

I guess better a did game today and not in March? winning on the road is tough...gotta get KSU for sure.

 

[CydeOut]

I hope this is the wake up call that pushes us to play with complete focus for the rest of season. We look completely unprepared to play and we weren't real impressive Saturday either. These games are as inexcusable as KU losing to TCU. Lose, fine. Lose by 25+, not fine

A game like this is no big deal. It's WVUs best night and our worst and its on their court.

Now if we turn around and have another stinker, then there is reason for concern.

WV is ranked 36th in both polls....at 14-10. So they must not be that bad. We ran into a hornets nest. WV is playing smart defense and we refuse to change our defense. WV played ku better than we did.

 

[cyguytillidie]

Just not our night. Didn't look focused from the very get go.

 

[pulse]

We have what Ejim scored last game...

 

[GoSTATE71]

This game is making my beer taste better at least.

 

[digZ]

2-16 from 3.

WVU is 10-19.

Ouch.

 

[mattyice]

I was going to go into that...but if you don't understand a zone would be way worse against a hot shooting 3 point team....I'm not sure it would register with them.

 

[CoKane]

Can this please not be a 40 point loss.

 

[CycloneErik]

WHY DID FRED FORGET TO BE UNDEFEATED?

 

[Skyh13]

nope.. not gonna get within 20. Wow.

 

[huntt26]

Will we get to 70?

 

[Mtowncyclone13]

Who schedules so many Monday games? let's not do that next year please.

 

[Skidoosh]

Even good teams have bad losses. We will still be ranked monday. Calm the **** down.
