***#5 Iowa State vs. #8 North Carolina (Sunday, 6:30 p.m.)***

[Ms3r4ISU]

Once again Iowa State media hypes up a team that has no business being hyped up. We need to take all analysis with huge grains of salt.

I’d prefer you to keep all your negativity in the football threads.

Our passing is about junior high level. Lots of work to do there

 

[DSM4Cy]

Wow. Literally Carolina just ran the same exact play about 20 times in the second half and we never made any adjustments. Such inept coaching and our team just fell apart when faced with adversity. Ashley went into “force it” mode and we made so many dumb mistakes. Gotta hope this can be a lesson to the team going forward. An embarrassing half of play where we just gave the game away.

This is one collapse-tastic collapse.

 

[qwerty]

We have given up 50 second half points.

 

[Remo Gaggi]

Time for Bill to retire.

 

[BoxsterCy]

If we do lose we would take a big hit in the ranking

We are slightly overrated, however we won't drop much as #5 losing to #8.

I think both ISU and Iowa are #10- #12 level teams until they show they aren't.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Absolutely disgusting 2nd half and especially 4th quarter. Need to figure out our ball screen defense. WE looked clueless.

 

[CYDJ]

Terrible passing at the end to seal it for NC. NC's second half made them more deserving than our first half. How frustrating.

 

[Cydwinder]

Or just a good team with a bit of a meltdown/UNC shooting lights out.

This is what I saw. UNC was red hot in the second half. When you aren’t scoring and they are that hot, you’re asking for trouble

 

[jctisu]

Hats off to UNC. They deserved this one with how they played in the 2nd Half. Shot the ball very well and outhustled us all over the court. Hope this one stings a bit, so we can refocus and realize we need to keep bringing the hustle.

 

[IcSyU]

This is still a really good team...just not so good they can survive shooting 35% and turning it over 16 times. Sometimes you have off nights.

 

[cyclo120]

Might be a bad omen for the evening.

For being such great coach I find a myself often confused by some of the in game adjustments bill fails to do.

 

[BoxsterCy]

We have given up 50 second half points.

Woof.

 

[TrailCy]

I don't post much but these final 8 minutes were some of the most deflating I can remember for WBB

 

[Cyclad]

This team is not ready for their expectations yet. Bill lost this one for them though.

I do not need to see the box score.
No defense - pathetic. I have no clue what our ball screen defense is supposed to be.
Turnovers. Not athletic enough.

 

[ianoconnor]

Stop fouling and take the L.

 

[isufbcurt]

why isn't Fritz in the game?

 

[NWICY]

Dang it this was ugly. Regroup and learn from it.

 

[Darius Bieber]

The collapse is still going on, can’t even get an inbounds pass in.
