*** Official Iowa vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

[atlantacyclone]

Well, now we are going to find out how good of a coach we have....

 

[cstrunk]

Cut down on unforced turnovers, make the gimmes, and if Uthoff comes back down to Earth we'll be in a position to win the game.

Pretty much this. The first half was a disaster, but we can come back in this thing. If we don't get our heads out of our ***** though, it won't matter though.

 

[Tornado man]

Most selfish half I can remember ISU playing....Prohm is just sitting there let us play right in to their hands. Franny out coaching him big time

You must have missed that UAB game...

 

[CyBobby]

Steve Prohm is vastly over paid if this continues for another half............This team is over hyped and is getting exposed

 

[State43]

Lol full meltdown already ?
Just allow the magic to kick in

 

[AgronAlum]

It might be a good thing I bought a handle of whiskey tonight

 

[oldwiseman]

that's just a dumb post; without Uthoff hitting for 30, the score would be 19-35!

Uthoff is a starter, my point is our 6th man came in and scored 12 points. Would it be better if I said their starting 5 vs our starting 5?

 

[Blandboy]

hey Bawbie...you ripped on my "this isn't the 4th best team" comment during the Buffalo game. How do you like me now?

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Look at the bright side. If we come back and win this after Uthoff had a LeBron-ish 1st half, it will be absolutely crushing to every Hawk fan. If we lose, we lose after enduring what was probably the best 1/2 of basketball that will be played by any individual player this year in college basketball. That was absolutely insane.

Lebron averages less than 30 pts...Wilt Chamberlain first half perhaps

Calling out a mod. That's a bold idea

 

[Wesley]

Haven't given up yet, but wow. You can't just not play defense on the best player from the other team.

Looks like we are missing a big defender on the perimeter. This looks really bad.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Not to sound like I'm giving up here, but I probably won't watch most of the second half.

over-hyped...true; unsure about your other comment.

 

[WastedTalent]

Guess we're gunna find out if Prohm is ready for the big time. Half time adjustments are what's gunna make the difference. Somehow slow down Uthoff, and settle down his players, so they play to their ability on offense.

 

[JHUNSY]

Way too many turnovers and no defense. We need to lock down on Uthoff and force them to score through the rest of their team. We gave him way too much space and were way too slow to react. That kid is legit but we shouldn't lose to a one-man team. Horrible first half.

 

[klamath632]

Damn, will the real cyclone fans (in this thread) please stand up?

Some of you guys are being awful

Not a single poster in this thread has had a more awful night than the team has so far.

 

[Rogue52]

Growing pains coming out here. I've said since Day 1 that we will be playing at an elite level come March, but losing Hoiberg and bringing in a new coach was going to have an impact regardless of who the returning starters were.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Time to harass and face-guard Uthoff. We did nothing to make him uncomfortable that half. And quit with this business of guarding him with Naz. Mismatch.

Naz too small, Georges too slow, why not McKay? Georges can handle the big goober from Sioux City

Beat me to it! i may not have enough popcorn.

I seem to remember several games like this under Hoiberg. Amazing how short sighted some fans are.
