*** Official Oregon State vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[NoCreativity]

Best display of Iowa State basketball I've seen since the Big 12 tourney in 2019.

TJ will either have to figure out an adjustment on their zone in the 2nd half or we need to start knocking down 3s.

 

[Blandboy]

We've settled for 3 pointers the last several times down the court.

yep...Gabe jacking up threes

 

[enisthemenace]

If this team can keep this intensity on defense…

A real fun first 18 minutes. The last 2 didn’t fit.

 

[2122]

Don't have cable We held a team that went to final 4 earlier this year to 20?

 

[werdnamanhill]

Why have we gotten away from moving the ball inside out? We’re settling for long jumpers.

Yep, we looked like last year’s team in that last couple mins. Very little ball movement and just launching 3’s.

Hunter needs to initiate the offense.

 

[Pope]

They were playing so well driving the basket, built a nice lead and then suddenly decided to start launching 3s without driving the paint … why?

It all changed when Oregon State went to the zone defense. Unfortunately, we took the easy way out and settled for 3 pointers on probably the last 10 possessions. Otz and staff will have to figure out a better way to attack their zone during the second half.

26-20 at half? Low scoring for the fun I’m hearing, wish I could watch it

 

[AuH2O]

Conditt is playing his ass off. TJ going to have to regroup vs the zone, but these guys are playing super hard.

EDIT: @werdnamanhill beat me too it

 

[helechopper]

Guys, we are a Kevin Durant away from being a tournament team.

 

[werdnamanhill]

We need to deal with this zone better. Hope CTJO can cook something up that can beat Mr. Tinkle.

What a fun team. Even when they are boring it’s still fun. Everything is fun compared to last year.

I did not want to watch the past couple of years, esp. last year. So far this year, much different. They have my interest and respect. Playing hard!

Zone

Good point. But not a great excuse!

 

[stateofmind]

That team Prohm inherited should have been no worse than the final 4. T.J. would have kept the train rolling.

Maybe he was able to work out the first time coach kinks at SD and LV. I doubt he was this good right away. Like playing a QB too early and ruining their confidence.

 

[Clone95]

The 3s they took were good shots, though. I’m sure they’ll get back to driving. Will help to have Brockington back in there.

 

[BoxsterCy]

While a bit ugly it's not that bad of a watch.

Exactly.

Those Fred recruited teams won in spite of Prohms incompetence.

A terrible error by the AD, but happy to see a glimpse of Hope with TJ.

Magic will be back, sooner then expected.....

 

[werdnamanhill]

I've never been so excited for a 26 point half. Good defense is enthralling.
