*** Official #15 IOWA STATE vs #18 Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

[CycloneDaddy]

GC 5th foul was terrible … you cant find a call similiar in all of college basketball this year.

 

[jsb]

Id love to know why we went 3 minutes without a point guard in the floor against a press and defense like techs…

That’s maddening and unless Tre is sick, there is no excuse for that.

 

[cyclonedave25]

Cmon. Embarrassing is a little emotional. It's a loss, in a game that not many expected to win. Who cares how the score turns out. This team has proven they will compete, even after a bad loss.

Naw, its embarrassing. Doesn’t mean I don’t think they will compete next game. But Tech straight up embarrassed us the 2nd half.

 

[cyclonehomer]

Yeah, ok. Read through the game thread.

You mean people being upset about individual foul calls, especially when there was an avalanche of them on one end and not the other? It's completely possible to acknowledge that one team got outplayed and that officiating made sure it wasn't close.

 

[GTO]

I hope next player that fouls out flips the double bird to that crowd.

 

[cyatheart]

It's just free throws...35 to 10

have to get to the line, it's a trend now, has to be fixed

 

[blutarsky]

Good to see Walker is finally out of witness protection.

 

[t-noah]

just pushed out of the way under the basket.

34-10 free throw difference.

I would normally agree but the refs have called so many fouls we are going to finish with no bigs. That completely alters the way you can play the game.

Of course. I wouldn't be so angry if it appeared even. But it does not appear to be even.

I'm listening via radio to John and Eric. They have been complaining about the calls all night. And I usually give them credit for being fairly reserved.

 

[CoKane]

Welp, that sucked. Not in the mood to talk about that **** at all. Probably need 2 of the next 3 conference games(don't give a **** about Mizzou). Losing to TCU Saturday feels like we're near letting this thing go off the rails

Also, I really ******* hope we pull a guy or 2 who can shoot out of the portal. If Zay leaves next year we're in trouble if we don't.

 

[Cardinal2001]

How often do you see a stat line where one team has made more shots and is down 20?

20 more free throws. But we can't complain about refs

 

[CYDJ]

Look official apologists. We did not play well, it is probable we would have lost with how cold we were shooting the ball. But, there is no way in hell we are down by more than 20 without the official handing then the game with the incredible discrepancy of calling tonight. No way in hell.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Defense played fine. Tech with more than 1/3 of its points from the line. You just run into a game or two like this, even in good years

"Defense travels" rings hollow in games like this. Having a little offense travel would've helped.

 

[tzjung]

Wow, FTs really are the story of the game. 1 if the teams playing is 5-11, the other is 25-34. I'll let you guys guess which is which......

 

[awd4cy]

That’s why I don’t get when people say “it’s alright that we’re 2-4 to start conference, we’ll get way more wins with the hard part of our schedule over with”.

The entire Big 12 schedule is hard. No wins are guaranteed. We could realistically lose every single game from here on out. We could also win a few. You just never know.

They say that because 7-11 likely means we are in the tourney. 8-10 and it’s a lock.

 

[Neptune78]

We just couldn't hit open shots. Especially 3s.
Flush this one and move on.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Walker can ball get him some minutes. 5 guard lineup!

That was a good call. It was dumb by George. The ball was threw the hood already and he kept riding the tech guy.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Robo refs now.

I honestly don't even care if it's guys that aren't elite on defense. Neeeedddd to avoid the massive droughts on offense.

Walker stuffing the stat sheet.
