Wigs to the rim and get fouled. Get out of his way.

What a bad half of basketball!

It set the game of basketball back several years

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

What is our O-rebound stat? ZERO?

3 in 1st half

 

[CyCloned]

awful shooting and TOs at the end of that half

 

[Dandy]

EIGHT minute scoreless spell yet down 2. Survived that. Please do the opposite of that next half.

What horrible half. No body movement. Zero ball movement. Getting out worked. Better wake up or start thinking about next season.

Too much time between games so good habits could go away.

 

[Freebird]

Didn’t play great but didn’t play awful either. OSU wasn’t impressive. Hopefully second half evens out the cold shooting.

 

[rochclone]

We played one of our worst half’s of the year. Shot 29% from the field and are only down 2. Need to have THT or LW compliment Shayok in the 2H. Still think we win this 67-58 Cyclones.

 

[CoKane]

That was a disaster and somehow we're only down 2

 

[jdoggivjc]

Where? Because ISU forces the drive instead of sharing?

I guess you missed the part where OSU was allowed to tackle our player on the fast break and there was a noticeable foul disparity through much of the half despite the over physicality. Yeah, they played sloppy - and that happens when the refs "let them play".

We played bad except for a small stretch with the exception of Shayok so being down 2 feels fortunate. Take care of the ball hit some shots we should be fine. Side note if it wasn’t for the 3 pt fouls where he hits 2 of 3 I feel Lindell would be a 50% ft shooter.

 

[jctisu]

If we even have an average 2nd Half of offense we can win this thing. Bring the A-game boys!

 

[ArgentCy]

Hate the late game. That was about as bad as they can play. Other than shayok making a few shots.

 

[Rogue52]

welp.

 

[Inthesystem]

We’re going to destroy them second half.

 

[dirtyninety]

Harry Potter is doing the small screen now......oh goodie. Talk about a punchable face.

 

[fsanford]

Only down 2, shooting 29%? They actually are in good shape.

 

[atlantacyclone]

We should be up by at least 20. Missed a lot of not so difficult shots. Let’s hope they wake up. Seems like we had a couple of open looks to go up 20-13 and a lifetime later we were down 20-26...

 

[CycloneErik]

EIGHT minute scoreless spell yet down 2. Survived that. Please do the opposite of that next half.

Would the opposite be 12 scoreless minutes, because I don't think we want to encourage that.

 

[FinalFourCy]

No returns, Bama.

 

[IASTATE07]

32.8 - 30 seconds = 2.8 seconds, no? Why did we only have 1.4 seconds at the end of the half. These officials are not observant OR they are are actually football officials. that would explain a lot.

Without seeing the replay, the ball could still be in the air on the way to the basket.
