*** Official IOWA STATE vs #14 Texas Tech Game(Day) Thread ***

[NorthCyd]

Great turnaround from last year, I get it. But we have serious issues with coaching here. It’s glaring.

You historically have some of the worst takes on ISU basketball, so you saying this makes me feel pretty good about our future.

 

[quasistellar]

I’m looking forward to the tourney. Can’t wait to see what ISU does vs defenses that don’t mug you every play lol.

or our team will just all foul out. It’ll be one or the other (or both if they make it past first round)

If you're not you're not a cyclone fan.

Dumb…. and wrong.

If that’s the case, I’m not seeing any Cyclone fans on here tonight.

I hate to be harsh, but this is the first team that has managed to make overachieving look really bad way too often.

Who do you want coaching at ISU?

 

[Blandboy]

I do wish there was more transparency there.

Just a 'coach's decision', nagging injury, something.

But maybe it's super private.

trust the process

 

[Clonefan32]

Not sure what the answer is but I’d start with changing the warm up playlist. We come out so flat every game.

 

[NoCreativity]

This is exactly why I am looking forward to it. I watched part of a Big East game the other night and it didn’t even look like the same game. Slow, boring, no D. The Big 12 is a ******* meat grinder.

You watch though, we say this then they'll match us up in the 8-9 game with San Diego State or St Mary's jsut to mess with us even more after meat-grinder in the Big 12.

 

[Blandboy]

they actually called a foul!!

 

[quasistellar]

Turnover turnover turnover turnover

All just part of the slide towards ISU basketball fan becoming Iowa basketball fan. Thanks Fred.

May as well just throw up long 3s...

 

[Blandboy]

Jones gotta get up strong!

 

[ZuriCyclone]

Jones is so soft, is never able to hard in the paint.

 

[xboxfever]

Too bad it’s on Jones who can’t make a free throw.

 

[exCYtable]

Robert Jones literally walked down the court on transition D and Tech got the layup because of it.

 

[RezClone]

I honestly don't care if everyone fouls out and we have 5 flagrants. Tough defenses don't let teams run a layup line without consequences.

 

[CychiatricWard]

Gabe is bad. People will ***** about not calling people out and how mean it is. He has been good rarely and bad frequently. We are what we are but man it is frustrating.

Fran's doing nostalgia...I think we're done

If ISU gets foul trouble they can just go to the bench that is apparently available since so many players deserve to be benched anyway.
