*** Official UAB vs #9 IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

[Cyclones01]

Need to keep our defensive intensity up so we can get out in transition and stop taking the ball out of the freaking net.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Rough half. Got none of the 50/50 calls or the 50/50 balls. A lot of tight passes that we really didn't need to try. If the refs let Georges play the second half, we'll be fine.

This isn't because ISU is playing bad.

Right now, UAB is better, and this isn't a thing where ISU's just going to be have to come out and simply kick it up a notch to win handidly.

 

[ExCYted1]

Hmm I don't think isu has a comeback in them, we're not known for that kind of thing

 

[cmjh10]

GUYS! WE ARE DOWN BY 3!!! IT'S NOT THAT EFFING BAD!!!

IF THE TEAM LOST THEIR **** EVERY TIME THEY GOT DOWN BY ONE POSSESSION THEY WOULD NEVER WIN ANY GAMES!!

Hey, turn your caps lock off now.

First tournament game under Fred where we didn't dominate both halves of the first game. Pretty crazy how good we were the last few years in the first round (or 2nd whatever you want to call it)

 

[Althetuna]

Half time adjustments to come.

 

[Gunnerclone]

UAB is out hustling us, that is all it is. We need to play with much much more energy and pride.

My Hustlometer wouldn't stop dinging the entire half!

 

[3TrueFans]

Without our best player for much of the half, only down 3, we'll be fine.

 

[CRcyclone6]

Back to acting like they don't like each other again. Bickering during a timeout to. Great.

 

[Skyh13]

Was hoping this team would decide to actually play a full game, but I suppose an entire season of evidence is too much to overcome.

 

[cstrunk]

Didn't like our effort after we got up 12-2. Apparently we just expected UAB to lay down and give up at that point. Way too sloppy. Need to play smarter and not turn the ball over, and we'll be fine.

Wrong. Take away dumb plays by Nader and a few wide open misses by Naz and we are leading by 7 or 8 at half instead.

 

[ISUKyro]

I kinda mad we are only down 3. If we were down double digits I would feel better about things - you know, more in the norm.

I bet you are a blast to watch games with.

 

[HandSanitizer]

Everyone chill.. Naz is nowhere. Foul Trouble. Rebounds? we are down a few points. We got this...
My biggest concern is UAB hasn't played well.

 

[drmwevr08]

Wtf. May work today but this **** ain't gonna get you very much farther. Uninspired.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

Starting to feel like the South Carolina game.

 

[CyArob]

This team is so bipolar, it's maddening.

By out hustling you mean out shooting, right? Yeah, that's what you meant.
