*** Official IOWA STATE Vs TCU Gameday Thread ***

I just don’t get it with Babb. There’s just no go.

Not 100%.

 

[CloneLawman]

No. Lost cause. Fire the coaches. Burn your gear and tickets.

Ticket burning! Paging @CycloneErik .

 

[blutarsky]

Apparently the clones left the “effort” back in Ames.

Taunting call was total BS. A few Frogs were chirping earlier and nothing was called.

 

[SolarGarlic]

TCU will adjust in the second half.

To what?

I just don’t get it with Babb. There’s just no go.

He might be playing injured.

 

[fsanford]

Wake up call
We didn’t want it as much as they did
Defensive game plan - Don’t play defense
Offensive game plan - Stop getting the ball to DJ while he is hot

They scored 35 points and shot 52% for the half, the problem is not offense
Your defensive comment is spot on though

I'm out of the loop, wondered if TCU had changed coaches yet. I remembered they kept saying they had talent in an pipeline and Trent Johnson would get them better...sounds like Coach Dixon came in just in time for their next steps to NIT and now ranked team. http://star-telegram.com/sports/college/big-12/texas-christian-university/article180732006.html

Welcome to 2018!

He might be playing injured.

Or flu, pretty much an epidemic this year

Unselfish to a fault. He needs to realize he’s the best option much of the time.

 

[Lexclone]

The relative silence of the arena is what got him the T. He held the yell a second too long. He didn't say anything. It's a bad call, but can we just not yell when we're getting our ass kicked? It was a nice play. It's not like he dunked it on him.

This is the correct answer. In a lively arena that yell doesn't stand out. In that Carver-esque arena, that yell stands out and probably scared the ref a little. Whacky call that killed the Cyclone momentum that the basket and foul had provided.

Gotta be playing with some undisclosed pain.

TT down 10 to UT with under 4 left. I’d really rather have them win that.

 

[brycy]

This team defensively has left 3 point shooters open all year. Very frustrating to watch.

Any idea why when we shoot free throws, why we don't have 2 guys on the block? Sometimes we don't have any. Are we worried about fouls? Sometimes the ball just comes to you. Small pet peeve, but it does drive me crazy.

 

[Cardinal2001]

Not surprised with the T, Lard is a little over the top with his celebrations.

 

[RonBurgundy]

I thought CSP was supposed to bring a defensive mind set. This is horrible.

 

[DSM4Cy]

Unselfish to a fault. He needs to realize he’s the best option much of the time.

I know he's not 100% tonight, but where did the Weiler-Babb from South Carolina go? That was AWESOME. Makes me wonder if it's not just physical, but mental too...can't pull the trigger on shots?

 

[NENick]

I actually don't feel too bad about where we sit. Started slow, no energy. Prohm lit 'em up, which was good to see and seemed to have some impact. Got it to 7 before the T. May not win, but there will be a run.
Also, I think Robinson is good.

 

[CycloneErik]

I thought CSP was supposed to bring a defensive mind set. This is horrible.

I like him a lot, but that was plainly just a thing to say in a press conference (or 100).

If Tech loses to UT and nobody sees it on the Longhorn Network does it really happen?

 

[blutarsky]

The Floor Stomp is Lard’s trademark move. Obviously these refs didn’t get the memo.
