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

[CY9395]

ISU and Iowa just don’t have the athletes to be that good at WBB.

Kelly, "and me taking steps all over the place helped me get those shots off....."

Always going to have a few ugly games in any season, so let's just get one of them out of the way now. This team is still really good and will be just fine. Tonight was just a missed chance to collect a really good win and stay ranked in the top-5.

 

[DSM4Cy]

We turned cold, they got hot. Pretty obvious that they wanted it more. We play unemotional.

Yep. And we act shocked when someone else pushes back harder than we do. There are no answers.

Losing after being up 17 in basketball is inexcusable unless you lose a superstar player to injury or something catastrophic. I know it happens, but that's a big margin to F up.

Phil knight looks like ****

UNC had 10 blocks tonight too.

Epic collapse

 

[OKClones]

This team has huge potential but you just can’t let them play. When they aren’t making shots it goes south quickly. The bench is lean and their lack of physicality will always be an Achilles.

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

The Iowa game a couple years ago was worse. Had like a 20 pt lead or something going into the 4th at Carver, and loss.

Bill is kinda known for these collapses.

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

Bill has had a tremendous career for sure and I’m glad to have him. But my concern is that he always looks so pissed off that I wonder if it limits his ability to make tactical moves in game.

On the other hand, I was very impressed with Carolina’s coach. She was poised the whole way, even when they were way down and had that questionable intentional foul go against them. This game had a Bill Snyder vs McCarney or Rhoads feel to it. One sideline is melting down while the other is methodically stealing the game.

26 point swing as we lost by 9

 

[Remo Gaggi]

We gotta get a new coach. Some hot basketball MILF who knows what she’s doing. So long Bill.

By the way, Phil Knight looks like he has one Nike in the grave, guy looks ancient.

 

[Prone2Clone]

26 point swing as we lost by 9

Which is even more inexcusable.

 

[clonebb]

On the second inbounds our player was standing open at the top of the key. Diew decides to try another lob. Just dumb.

 

[bosco]

Hopefully this is learning experience for the players and the staff.

 

[alarson]

what I just witnessed inbounding the ball was an embarrassment to a top 5 team. Is that a record? Losing the ball 3 straight times on the inbound pass off a time out?

We didn't look like a top 25 team much less a top five team in that second half.

 

[BigJCy]

ISU and Iowa just don’t have the athletes to be that good at WBB.

That's why there is usually a ceiling on how far they can get in the NCAA Tournament unless they just shoot lights out from 3 pt. land. Otherwise they get "out-athleted".

 

[loyalsons4evertrue]

Hopefully we use this loss as fuel for the rest of the season....we got outcoached tonight

Looked like a Top 5 team in the first half, but a D2 team in the second half.
