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

[AuH2O]

They’ve also been missing McCullar and Shannon for many games

They were both back prior to that. They simply haven’t been great the last couple of weeks.

 

[CycloneErik]

Who is the offensive coordinator for the basketball team, and why haven’t there been any threads questioning that guy’s ability/play calling?

This is the question we need to answer!

 

[mynameisjonas]

Is he though? Or, is he working with a limited roster?

He’s the one that is limiting the roster by not playing Enaruna and Jackson.

Isn't Bennett sorta what TJ wants to coach like? I know I read something about that but I genuinely hope it's not true.

TJ is definitely inspired by D!ck & Tony Bennett, but from my read it seems like TJ's more wanting to mimic that kind of defensive intensity, while melding Eldon Miller/UNI and Hoiball offense built around the talent he has on that particular roster. I don't think the long-term goal is to slow things to a crawl although we've benefited from that this year with this team's inept offensive skill - no one can drive with the ball and we have zero consistent shooters.

 

[clonedude]

We desperately need several guys to transfer out so we can bring in some more pieces than we already have coming in.

 

[MLawrence]

I just hope we have fun this half.

 

[abcguyks]

Is there anything that this team does better at the end of the season than they did to start the season? I don’t think so and that is the job of the coaching staff.

 

[Marcelason78]

Does anybody think we look like a well-coached team? I mean putting shooting aside, do we look like we know what we’re doing? The things that have plagued us all season have not gone away.

This team didn't win 20 by accident.
We're not hitting tonight and Tech is. They're playing a top defensive team. Just play hard in the second half.

Or our limited talent puts a ceiling on our team and we hit it early.

[fsanford]

Any chance OU replaces us in the tournamen? Why would the committee take a team with an inept offense that is lucky to score 20 points a half? I also believe TJ’s bull headedness not playing Enaruna and Jackson is hurting the teams’ chances to do anything

Not a chance.. ISU may drop from 9 to a 10, OU still needs to win 1 more to maybe make play in game at Dayton

 

[mjhavlo76]

I just truly am confused why Tre Jackson and even more Tristan Enaruna are not given an opportunity. That reflects on coaching.

 

[Blandboy]

fouled in the act of fouling

 

[Darius Bieber]

Two possessions, two turnovers.

 

[Rabbuk]

just sit conditt wtf.

 

[DSM4Cy]

I think last years roster was more talented. Getting 20 wins is incredible, can still be frustrated with late season adjustments or lack there of. Will hold my concerns on future for after the season but still happy TJ is our coach.

I think you can certainly make that argument. Conditt's the same player, Kalscheur is not necessarily better than Bolton/JCL, and there's not much depth on this roster.

On the other comment, my hope was double-digit wins this year, .500 in year 2, and sniff the tournament in year 3. So we're two years ahead of schedule IMO.

 

[cyclones500]

Does Conditt hold the NCAA record for moving screens? Serious question.

He gets called for more of them than anyone in history, that's for sure.

Most of them are 37 feet from the basket. That's partly a scheme issue.

give it up, Louie

 

[Blandboy]

Tech giving us a chance with their misses

 

[Acylum]

was it good for you?

What’s your point? You asked a question and I answered it.
