Need to get going on the boards gents. Game looks exactly how I thought it would. Just a rock fight.

 

[exCYtable]

Getting killed on the offensive glass

 

[Darius Bieber]

Would be up double digits if we could get a defensive rebound

 

[NoCreativity]

Uconn looks alot like a Big 12 team, this will be our stiffest test until conference play.

 

[trevn]

What I would give for an effin defensive rebound. JFC.

 

[cayin]

they are getting all the loose balls and rebounds.

 

[Die4Cy]

Do you think Walton just keeps it rolling right through the commercial breaks?

 

[legi]

Bill Walton is a national treasure.

Him and Mike Leach need a podcast together.

 

[clonebb]

They are letting Jackson hand check and push.

 

[FerShizzle]

we are playing we sat around all day thinking about the game until it finally started at 9:00.

 

[Walden4Prez]

They cut off Walton’s rambling going to commercial….I am pretty sure he had 3 or 4 edibles pre-game.

That's what I was trying to say in the other thread. UConn plays ugly basketball much like us and will make you earn every damn one of your points.

Bill Walton is insufferable

Lot of physicality

Getting badly beaten on the boards. Really surprised. Our hustle is great but we’re consistently out of position for rebounds on both ends. It’s getting worse as the game goes on. Rebounding is the reason UConn is winning.

Their size and speed making this a problem isn't very surprising especially this early.

Hopefully ISU can get better positioning.

Yeah, need to get some loose balls and rebounds....and not get the fouls too lopsided.

 

[ISUTex]

Bill Walton is getting after it.

 

[clonebb]

More like a stoned rambling idiot.

That was pretty hilarious

Terrible rebounding is just killing us.

Ball bouncing away from us when we are boxing out pretty well at times. Not the total excuse, but ball bouncing bad for us at times. The oidds are it will even out if we keep up the boxing effort.
