*** Official IOWA STATE Vs Oklahoma Game(Day) Thread ***

Hmmm.... where have I seen this movie before? That last play might sum up the season better than anything.

 

[Rural]

Any doubt the last possession would end that way?

 

[moforisu]

You just can't make this stuff up.

 

[cyclonedave25]

Any other year and I’m surprised at how the half ended. If the shot clock is turned off, ISU has the ball, the other team is almost guaranteed to somehow get pts before the clock hits zero.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

And apparently, we need to feed him. He bites on every fake.

I'll cut him a break. We're probably losing by double digits without him to this point

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Solid pick at the end, to bad it was against ourself!

 

[GTO]

Manek has no intention of guarding Solo

I don't think he's strong enough or quick enough to guard him.

 

[madguy30]

Just gained a lot of respect for Jacobson for picking Lewis up when he was down after letting the guy drive by him.

MJ was also the guy to try to pull guys together during games last year when no one else wanted to.

He spent his senior season out of position unfortunately.

Trademark Iowa State ending to a half.

Trademark for this year, definitely.

 

[CRcyclone6]

Yeah, it's not like those were the only basketball fans in the state.

Has OSU ever filled GIA after they expanded. I remember that place holding about 9000 and it was always full.

 

[Lineup]

WOW that crowd is so loud lol

 

[helechopper]

I think the announcers alluded to this too, but ISU looks like a functioning basketball team. Like dudes are playing their roles and holding their **** together out there. Also, it’s fun to see Lewis get some run, dude deserves it.

 

[Cyched]

I'd donate Haliburton my wrist. It's pretty strong you know.

 

[legi]

We make the dumbest turnovers ever. Like basic stuff.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

I don't think he's strong enough or quick enough to guard him.

You can tell he's trying to draw a flop charge. Solo is doing a decent finesse job, but my guess is he'll get called for at least one down the stretch

 

[Iastatecyclone]

There seems to be a bit of deficiency for him to make quick lateral movements

Yeah, that’s why I like to see him guard the 4. Or maybe even just a spot up shooter, but right now he is guarding their point guard, so he is bound to get driven by especially since that are setting a high ball screen to start the offense almost every play.

Stats of the Half

_________ISU______OU
FG%_______50%___37.5%
FTs______2-2___11-12
TOs________9_______4

 

[sheepplucker]

Its odd that they are shooting like 36% and we're shooting 50% and losing. Good half for us though.

turnovers and the refs giving them a bunch of free throws

 

[CYDJ]

Does it look like half the guys don't know how to pass the ball in asafe location to their teammate? It is really odd. Seems like a fundamental skill to have , especially for the guards.

Couple of our players just have no basic basketball IQ unfortunately.
