*** Official #14 IOWA STATE vs #2 Kansas Game(Day) Thread ***

[CYDJ]

CAN NOT miss point blank shots.

 

[twincyties]

It’s a miracle we’re down 5 with shooting percentages where they are. That said, if this evens out in the second we’ll stay in this.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

CAN NOT miss point blank shots.

That’s a big Rob speciality

 

[CycloneErik]

We're in fine shape for the horrible shooting. That should even itself out.
Just stay in it so that looks like a run.

 

[jsb]

TJ has to get Rob out of there. I don’t know if he’s even hit the rim yet.

I think he's still solid on defense. But for ****'s sake he needs to stop shooting. He's not skilled enough to go against Kansas---at least today.

 

[Kaner04]

Bad Rob Jones today. Their length is smothering us

 

[Malone]

Bob 0-5 on point blank shots

 

[Die4Cy]

Holmes and Tamin need to keep driving. Good jumpers and post plays just aren't there

Plus, it might be the best way to get open looks from three.

 

[OKClones]

It’s a touch Wilson it’s a foul day. Come on refs!

 

[CYDJ]

WE need to stay in front of Wilson. Without Grady on the floor, they are a lot more one dimensional.

 

[cstrunk]

Just need to make a few more shots and we'd be winning.

 

[helechopper]

It isn’t like we’re being outclasses by KU, we just need to finish at the rim.

This should be a much closer game, if not one with ISU in the lead.

 

[bustamoveisu]

Bob 0-5 on point blank shots

And he rarely touches rim on point blank shots. UGH!!!!!!!

 

[jsb]

Bob 0-5 on point blank shots

Honestly I would have guessed he's shot more than 5 times.

 

[CYedUp]

If we can make free throws and bunnies, we'd be ahead. Right now I'm not too worried as this is just the first half. Just need to clean some things up

 

[carvers4math]

Holmes and Tamin need to keep driving. Good jumpers and post plays just aren't there

Seems they are at least helping us hang around. Don’t want to see offensive set without at least one of them out there

No we aren't.

We are shooting terribly because most of our shots are contested, outside the 3 bunnies we missed. Conversely almost ALL of KUs 3s have been WIDE open looks. If that continues it's hard to expect them to stay at 20 percent from three

We are lucky it's as close as it is. Other the shooting the ball, and maybe rebounding, KU is vastly outplaying us.

 

[besserheimerphat]

KU's ball movement has been really good. Need to find an answer for their big getting the ball at the top of the lane. We go to double and they're doing a great job beating it passing to the cutter or open shooter in the corner.

 

[jsb]

It isn’t like we’re being outclasses by KU, we just need to finish at the rim.

This should be a much closer game, if not one with ISU in the lead.

I'm not sure we have the skill to do that against a really good team.

 

[cyclo120]

It’s been the exact tempo and style we wanted this game to be our offense has just been that bad.
