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

Unless Gunner is actually just goth/emo style on Sundays.

That sounds like the Gunner I know.

This is setting up like the football season in that way... No expectations, then early season gives us hope, so then people are passed even though they did much better than expected. You can book it.

4-8 was way better than expected?

 

[davegilbertson]

Are you serious? He made a bunch of crazy passes and had plenty of throw down dunks and acrobatic layups. Along with the steals that created a lot of points. Hate the guy for leaving but respect the game he has.

From the look of his fg% he's finishing better this year so far as well

They are at 18 offensive boards. Tough to overcome that.

I wouldn’t say football was better than expected

 

[madguy30]

Just because they beating us doesn't mean they are great. They are good but I don't think they are as good as we are making them look.

Who do you think is great so far in the season?

We are always going to need a Caleb Grill VS NC game to beat the real good teams on our schedule. Doesn’t mean we can’t still win a good chunk of games but against the top we need something very significant out of the norm out of someone.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Grill sure came back to reality tonight

It’s just a general rot in sports fandom that coincides with the general rot in society. People are terrible.

 

[CYDJ]

Tamin would’ve been a helluva safety should he have chosen that route

I haven't seen him totally waste anyone coming over the middle yet. Will hold my judgement until he does that at least once.

 

[Drew0311]

It will be ice when we get Tre King playing. He can score. Hopefully he can play defense but we need a consistent scorer

 

[bosco]

Well if this is what happens when we play good defenses then I'm going to need ether to get through the conference.

 

[Darius Bieber]

Ooooof turning into a 20 point blowout

 

[ClonesFTW]

Uconn was the better team tonight, have to give them a lot of credit. I wouldn’t be shocked to see them in Houston.

 

[atlantacyclone]

Well, this went about as well as yesterday. Damn. So high and back to Earth fast!

 

[madguy30]

That sounds like the Gunner I know.

 

[StLouisClone]

Outrebounded 46-19

 

[FerShizzle]

Gabe plays like he is stoned some games.

We expected worse than 4-8???

How to beat ISU: You shut down Holmes and Grill and let everyone else shoot.

We need at least one more consistent shooter to step up. Preferably Lipsey.
