*** Official IOWA STATE vs #3 Iowa Game(Day) Thread ***

[Lafaester54]

A few bright spots but about what I expected so far.

 

[jaj040]

I've never seen a team with more punchable faces than the Hoks.

It's all the same face

 

[JP4CY]

Zone defense has basically worked on every ISU team ever, right?

 

[CyberJJJ]

Conditt not giving us a lot right now. Did appreciate him challenging the Nunge dunk attempt

 

[Thomasrickj]

Remember when we were leading once, that was nice.

Iowa was just teasing us.

 

[ZuriCyclone]

Tough to watch the strategy to close out the half. I know we aren’t as talented but that’s no excuse for that game plan.

There is talent there , dont have a coach to get it out.

 

[Cyientist]

A game of runs. Just need the next one and not let the hawks have 2 in a row.

 

[BCClone]

I have a headache from these announcers never shutting up.

 

[Prone2Clone]

Only watching gamecaste but it appears we are just chucking 3 pointers the last few seasons.

FIFY

 

[ZuriCyclone]

Iowa was just teasing us.

Yup , they took a double digit lead with out luka, that is how brutal the run was.

 

[blutarsky]

Clones played their best half of the season so far ... then you realize they gave up 52 freaking points.

 

[Go2Guy]

Nunge has 15-8 on us and didn't start ?#@??

 

[JVAR]

I've never seen a team with more punchable faces than the Hoks.

 

[MeowingCows]

Jack Nunge. Really.

That's what happens when our biggest defensive liabilities are all of our posts. They're immobile defensively, don't track boards well and don't box out hardly at all. Makes it very, very easy for an aggressive team like Iowa to hang points on us and collect extra possessions.

 

[t-noah]

So those watching, George vs. Xavier? Play the fresh more? Trial by fire?

 

[Cyclad]

Tough to watch the strategy to close out the half. I know we aren’t as talented but that’s no excuse for that game plan.

What in your opinion is our faulty game plan?

 

[Gerbs]

We have some guys busting their tail on the defensive side. I’d be furious to play with Solomon Young who shows absolutely zero effort or desire

Not when we had George’s on the elbow, but yeah, what you’re saying.

 

[cyfanbr]

That Iowa run in the end of the first half definitely hurts. However, I think there has been quite a few positives on our end. Good energy and most players look like they belong on the stage.

For the second half, ISU needs to go right at Garza early on to make him get his third foul.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

I don’t like that we are down 11 and Garza only played 7 minutes in the first half. That’s not good news for the 2nd half
