*** Official IOWA STATE vs Oklahoma Game(day) Thread ***

Hey I've got an idea. Let's clank a bunch of threes, miss our free throws, and then not play defense. Works every time on the road...

 

[GTO]

5-12 from the free throw line (a couple of them front end of one and ones).

 

[Mtowncyclone13]

Did OU just get our gameplan figured out or what? How does this happen? Completely serious question. How does this happen

 

[yler4cy]

We can't stop a nose bleed right now. I don't even know if you can regroup after this. How the hell do we even win a game in the NCAA tourney? Last time I checked Hilton isn't one of the sites this year.

 

[Gunnerclone]

I'm so confused as to why we play so much worse when we are away from home.

It's nothing new for ISU teams, but how in the world do we break that?

Ask Duke, KU, KY, MSU...it takes years to build up a program through wins and losses on the road to become a solid conference road program. It's more of a program thing for me than an individual team thing, we're not there yet.

 

[SWCy13]

What a pathetic effort this half. But I suppose we'll hear the usual "didn't give the effort defensively, we'll get it fixed. Just have to focus" derp derp stuff said after every loss.

 

[POTF]

Anyone get the number of that train???

 

[Cincyclone]

I'm done. This team is such a disappointment.

It's a shame this team couldn't live up to your lofty expectations

 

[CRcyclone6]

Is it any coincidence that this team sucks on the road like Hoiberg's teams under Orr? I know an over reaction. Just frustrating.

 

[sadam]

Really thought wed make it back with Spangler very obviously not 100% and lattin out with injury. For some reason our 5 can't stop hield and Thomas. Pathetic.

 

[CycloneWanderer]

Quick fouls inside really looks like it has made us tentative to challenge anything inside.

 

[Freebird]

Total **** show on the road. Makes some of the old Orr teams look good.

 

[Skyh13]

outcoached

I wish everyone who ever said this would get banned. You have no ******* clue what this even means.

 

[cygrads]

Would like to see Fred change defenses once to make OU slow down and think.

 

[cyclones12321]

This teams lacks mental toughness. Just awful

 

[Beyerball]

Why Hoiberg won't switch to a zone is behind me. Defensive coaching on this team is atrocious

 

[moforisu]

No stop on dribble drive. Ever!

 

[Gossamer]

if we go underneath one more f'ing screen, I'm going to lose my mind.

 

[SAllen43]

so so frustrating. This team is so much better than this

 

[CycloneWarrior]

The crap defense is frustrating, but we'll get them in Ames. It really sucks seeing Kansas win the league every year.
