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

Tyrese missed like 4 or 5 layups.

 

[Remo Gaggi]

Terrible game.

This is why you should just save yourself the misery and not watch

Even train wrecks are hard to look away from.

Hunter is the only one that can get the team in a half court offense.

Brockington is initiating offense for himself when he puts his head down.

I hate the look when we don’t have either Hunter or Jackson on the court

They tend to get swatted inside.

True...because they don't know how to use their bodies to create space and draw contact.

Cyclones1969….. who is playing worse than us right now in the Big 12?

What better time for you to save yourself from having to suffer

Well, there's the random loss at Hilton I was predicting when everyone thought we'd go 8-1 at home.

.500 isn't happening now unless they can pull off a win at Okie State this week. This team is NIT bound unless something changes we'll be lucky to get 3 or 4 more wins.

I blame the Tik Tok drummer

Tyrese missed like 4 or 5 layups.

but it got him to the foul line a few times

I pointed out the 5-26 from 3 against Tech on Tuesday and then we go 3-26 from 3 today. Where’s the blame it on the refs crowd today? Today was a repeat of Tuesday’s game with the same results.
I’m not trying to pile on our team- Otz is doing a terrific job. However, he needs to figure out how to fix our long-distance shooting.

Tyrese missed like 4 or 5 layups.

And had a ton of turnovers. He does have great moments…. but they are too few and far between.

 

[ISU22CY]

With this defense we should be running the ball on every missed shot, TO. Take it there if nothing set it up. In the half court offense needs to be drive first mentality….kick it back out swing it around look for hard cutters. TJ has to switch this side of the game up not like it’s going to be any worse.

 

[Inthesystem]

You really only have one guy that can initiate half court offense at this point. And you only have one guy willing to take the ball aggressively to the basket.

I thought they did a good job against Baylor working the ball inside. Watching today, it felt like everyone other than Brockington, and flashes from Hunter, there wasn’t a real will to do the work needed to establish anything inside.

Hunter got inside fine but but then missed the short ones.

I think Jackson should play more

It is called recruiting

He’s a freshman.

And had a ton of turnovers. He does have great moments…. but they are too few and far between.

He's a 6 foot freshman starting at PG in the toughest league in the country. He's getting baptism by fire right now, and he'll be better off for it later on this year.

 

[mynameisjonas]

but it got him to the foul line a few times

4-5 not including the times he was fouled. And the first time he went to the line he was 0-2. Brickfest.

True...because they don't know how to use their bodies to create space and draw contact.

And if they try to they meet someone who is more athletic so they really can't create or draw.

Part of it is figuring out how to get our guys consistently driving to the rim. That's our best offensive identity, not jacking up 26 3pt attempts.
