*** Official #15 IOWA STATE vs #9 Kansas Game(Day) Thread ***

[cyclonehomer]

Where is the flop warning on Lightfoot? Man I hate that guy

I'll admit Iowa State has flopped some this year. But the completely random calling of the warnings makes them very bad. Either every team warrants multiple every game, or no team ever does.

This is a good old fashion screw job

Just horrible officiating

Checks must have not cleared until halftime.

The only one not scared to shoot is Robert Jones

The only one not scared to shoot is Robert Jones

And that's terrifying

 

[CYDJ]

There is one more chance to win this game, but it needs to start now and we need two mini runs tht Bob won't shut down.

 

[awd4cy]

I guess hopefully we can just do a good job protecting home court. Not sure we can win on the road with this team.

Good God just stop.

As long as it's not a layup

Pretty easy to play hard when you're allowed to foul at will.

Checks must have not cleared until halftime.

Notice how they quickly got Kansas with those ticky tack fouls early in the half? Now they can hold off if the game gets close

 

[cyclones500]

Not conceding but I think the window of opportunity is about to slam shut.

Yep crazy as it sounds this is not that hard to overcome if we can string together ANY sort of offense. Now, in saying that, it has obviously proven to be hard to do this half. But it's there for the taking.

Refs not going to let a run happen

 

[ZuriCyclone]

ISU needs to find a way out of this trash league.

Calm Down

 

[HFCS]

I think now just hope they don't unravel like last game and hopefully have a chance Saturday.

As bad as a handful of calls have been in 2nd half it’s nowhere near has bad as OU. We were destroying OU for 30 minutes getting no calls.

I feel like these are calls we could have played through (maybe still) and @OU it’s just a matter of time until human nature says wtf and guys get frustrated.

 

[cyclonehomer]

The last thing I will say about Bob Jones tonight is that he's not markedly bigger enough than Enaruna to play any minutes unless Conditt and Tristan are both in foul trouble. Need to be more comfortable going small and if either player will be a real difference maker moving forward, it's not Jones.

 

[OKClones]

Offense is a struggle for this team. Big 12 has us figured out and we don’t shoot well enough to change what they need to do to stop us.

 

[jctisu]

And missing free throws. Have to be elite at the line when scoring any points is this hard.

 

[madguy30]

Some of you guys need some perspective. The Big 12 being loaded will help, not hurt our tournament chances. Tech just beat Baylor in Waco in case you missed it, that win will be a signature Quad 1 win when March rolls around.

I like to think I'm keeping perspective on the abilities of this team and if they end up in the NIT it's not a bad thing....would just look bad I suppose after such a fun start.

Watching OSU/WV right now and they both will be really tough for this ISU team to beat.
