*** Official IOWA STATE Vs Texas Gameday Thread ***

Can you guys see anything positive about this game? Wow.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Absolutely brutal. have 3 seconds on the shot clock and we foul 70 feet from the basket.

That wasn't a foul.

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Im not sure if everyone knows but Texas is missing players tonight. Im doing a shot everytime ESPN mentions it from now till end of game.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Tale of the half:

FG%
ISU 52
UT 39

TOs
ISU 11
UT 6

If we can stay within 10% of that shooting clip and cut our turnovers in half, I like our chances. Only wildcard is if Texas comes out and is randomly red-hot from the field...but it isn't so random when their best shooting games always come against Iowa State

 

[Cyclonepride]

Agreed. I tend to credit Texas with hustling to collect those turnovers, but that has definitely been the difference maker.

Some of them certainly were defensive anticipation. Some were just trying passes that were a hair too aggressive. I’m cool with that, but whatever the case, we can’t let that happen and win.

 

[FerShizzle]

Can't fault the effort, but Beverly is not a P5 player

I just don’t understand what he can do that Long or Lewis can’t do at this point. Cause he sure as hell can’t guard another teams 4.

 

[ClonesTwentyOne]

F off. Hate this **** attitude. And I am posting from Sprint.

Why not Verizon?

Freshmen getting lots if minutes.

 

[stateofmind]

For some reason I believe we win this game. But when was the last time we won the second half?

 

[bozclone]

Need Talley, Lard, Wigginton, and Jackson all to play there best this half. A lot of the time we are playing 4 on 5. The other guys just have to not make mistakes and give us a few positives.

 

[ClonesFTW]

Texas -2.5 is the 2nd half line

 

[Cyched]

For some reason I believe we win this game. But when was the last time we won the second half?

The McCarney days.

 

[allfourcy]

Amazing how bad this team always is in last minutes of every first half.

It really has been that way...every game this past month. I think they are playing very hard, so do they just run out of gas??? (Really disappointed that Lard doesn't pass out of the double team more vs. forcing it.)

 

[Raywswartz]

Can you guys see anything positive about this game? Wow.

We only turned it over 11 times? Only 6 strait possessions with a turnover? Is that positive enough?

 

[IASTATE07]

That wasn't a foul.

There was contact and the ref called it soooooo. We have to be smarter than that and not pick up a cheap one.

 

[ClonesTwentyOne]

For some reason I believe we win this game. But when was the last time we won the second half?

Back when Nixon was president

 

[madguy30]

They go on a 16 to 3 run, we blow a 10 point lead and the only time out Prohm takes is after we score

I'm really hoping this season is the exception to what ISU looks like in the future.

 

[psyclone51]

Donovan should not do anything but shoot this half. The dribble, dribble give the ball to other team crap is getting old.

He has had 1 TO in the first half.

 

[FinalFourCy]

Absolutely brutal. have 3 seconds on the shot clock and we foul 70 feet from the basket.

They allow that type of contact on every Wigginton drive.

 

[BeneventiCy28]

I love our aggressiveness and intensity. These guys are letting it hang out and moving very well on both ends of the floor. If we can get some tighter screens for DJ to run off to get open looks, not turn the ball over, and keep the passes and catching passes from turning into TO’s, we can pull this out. Guys almost look too jacked up to be playing at Hilton South.
