*** Official IOWA STATE vs #20 UCONN Game(Day) Thread ***

GK has looked awful this tourney. Hope he can get it turned around. We need him.

Gabe is what he is at this point in his career.

Missed a couple of windows early & mid second half. Even with the bad rebounding and fouls there was an opening or two.

 

[jctisu]

Three air balled threes. Just getting tired now.

 

[IFA Cyclone]

GK and Grill might be 2 of the most inconsistent shooters I’ve seen. Rough night for both of them.

 

[gocy444]

Some days you just get beat. UConn played great. Shake their hand and get back to work.

 

[CychiatricWard]

Drive the basketball Jaren! Instead you air all and then watch your guy run right past you for an easy layup.

 

[CYDJ]

Wolfman needs to shut his mouth.

 

[cyatheart]

Against these more skilled teams, we have to defend without fouling and rebound. It's a miracle it's this close.

 

[Die4Cy]

Would it be possible to somehow power Portland exclusively on Bill Walton non-sequitors?

It would be a limitless energy supply.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Gabe is what he is at this point in his career.

He had so much promise too… he was a better player at Minnesota believe it or not

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

UConn is legit. They are just relentlessly cutting, have incredible size, and defend very hard.

They make smart plays too. This team is gonna be good.

 

[madguy30]

Gabe just stood there and watched the ball bounce in front of him…followed up by an air ball

You mean while he was text book boxing a guy out?

Do people even watch what's actually happening?

 

[fsanford]

Playing them even, but legs look gone

"Body language by iowa state isn't good" he says as Grill sprints back on the fast break. Walton is entertaining if you're not watching your team play. But he doesn't add anything to an actual broadcast.

 

[CoKane]

This has been a quality game against a quality team the only thing we could possibly work on is rebounding. It has killed us all night.

There's been some very bad defensive lapses in this as well.

 

[CYDJ]

Officials proving they have no ******* clue.

 

[bosco]

I'm not conceding anything to UConn. They are good but this is one of those games where everything is breaking their way. A different night we can beat them. They aren't great.

 

[CychiatricWard]

What is with Osun? Grab the rebound lol

 

[madguy30]

GK has looked awful this tourney. Hope he can get it turned around. We need him.

Those 5 threes in the first game and crucial steals vs. UNC were awful?

 

[Gunnerclone]

Not trying to throw gas on any fires, but this is where still having Tyrese Hunter turns this team from scrapping to make the tourney to being absolute dogs. We need a playmaker more than we need a pure scorer.
