*** Official Milwaukee Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

[cyclonedave25]

Barely beating a D2 team in the exhibition was no joke. It was a sign of things to come this year. They have 1 FG 10 minutes into the second half... Think about that.

Jackson and Beverly just kill this team. That being said, the entire team struggles to make basic basketball plays. Like, good passes. Catching the ball. Dribbling when somebody is guarding them. Dribbling and sprinting at the same time. Shooting. Running sets. Spacing the floor. Knowing who to guard on defense. Guarding without fouling. Free Throws. Did I miss anything?

You did not miss a thing. This is a **** show.

Looks like a small-school high school team on the first day of practice.

The effort and intensity is not nearly good enough. No leadership by our returning players.

This is like watching ISU football a lot of years.

Except it's not ISU football.

Being dominated at home by a low major program. This is a new low.

 

[CyGuy5]

This team is absolutely terrible. Too young

I really think this Milwaukee team could be one of those surprise teams in the Horizon League. Put it to you this way, I'm not so sure last years team would smash them around like many might believe.

I'll take whatever you're having.

The real problem is we have another huge class coming in next year. It's going to be a looooong probably two years.

Jackson did not make needed improvements it would seem

 

[FinalFourCy]

It really doesn't. It has a bunch of role players on it but it doesn't have Big 12 talent right now.

I appreciate their optimism, but they’re nuts. At best, this team has a few guys with potential. Like, in a few years they’ll be sidekicks on a good team potential.


My first memories go back to Thigpen. I don’t remember a worse roster in terms of talent or play.

Nothing to do with youth

 

[SwirlyBird]

and we gave iowa **** last year? Woah buddy, this is going to be a ride.

 

[everyyard]

ive taken dumps that are nicer looking than this team

Pics or it didn’t happen.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Just no coherent, purposeful movement, and no one seems to have the ability to go get a bucket on their own.

 

[Erik4Cy]

You would think a Big XII team that won 3 of the last 4 conference tournaments and has been to the NCAA tournament 6 straight seasons wouldn't have such of a drastic rebuild ahead of it. I think the people picking us 9th or 10th might actually be right for once.

You talking about the cyclones or your team?

 

[jsb]

Beverly is the only one playing worth a shot.

 

[WhatchaGonnaDo]

Is UWM a mid-major even?

I truly have no idea and that isn't a good thing lol

 

[1976]

I think everyone is overeating a bit. We will make a run here and we all know we have some work to do.

 

[everyyard]

Bad basketball so far this season. But man, some of y'all (well, many of you) turn on kids wearing the cardinal and gold faster than Benedict Arnold.

Not turning, just calling a spade, a spade.

 

[oldwiseman]

Last place in the Big XII was not a bad prediction. In fact, they play like this and they won't win a conference game and may not get within 10.
