*** Official #12 IOWA STATE vs Missouri Game(Day) Thread ***

Is Gabe hurt? Crap.

 

[cyclo120]

It’s one thing to miss shots and them to hit them but they are completely controlling the tempo and have us all out of sorts offensively.

 

[ianoconnor]

Was that not a charge?

Not set

 

[CentexCyclone]

Missouri has taken some bad basketball shots and made them at a high clip.

They need to regress to the mean eventually.

I'm not convinced Jones knows what a pass even is

Right?!?!? For someone that the coaches apparently had to beg to come back this year and we have to call him 'Big Game' Rob or whatever nickname he has, you'd think he'd know how to pass out of the god damned post.

Doesn’t matter if you can offensive rebound it if Bob is the one getting it. Somebody in local media needs to grow some stones and ask why Bob gets so much play. We’re going to lose this game because of insistence on playing him. We are immediately a poor team when he plays.

*edit and before somebody says he only gets 10-15 minutes per game, his minutes need to be ZERO

 

[helechopper]

The history of SEC basketball now? Man, eff ESPN.

 

[cayin]

I am begging him not to force shots and turn it over. he has done both.

 

[67CY]

I wonder if Jones has the same problems at practice. If he does, maybe they should quit getting him the ball

 

[twincyties]

I still like our chances here so long as we keep it 6-8 points. Mizzou is hot AF and I don’t think that can continue for 40 minutes.

 

[CyCloned]

Just way too many close bricks today. Guys need to settle down and kick it out if they don't have a good shot.

 

[Big_Sill]

I’ll say this if we are down 10 or up 10…It’s nice to be in a position where this game doesn’t really matter.

I hope we play better and win, but this is mostly meaningless for us.

We aren’t getting a 1 or 2 seed.

 

[Die4Cy]

Looked like a little deliberate knee to the gut of GK there.

 

[cyclones500]

The more this turns into a track meet, the less I like our chances. At the same time, we aren't exactly nailing it consistently in a slower-paced half-court style.

 

[CY9008]

I almost feel bad for Rob. Effort is there, but the coaching staff has to figure it out.

 

[cyclonez7]

Pretty good foul there imo

 

[Rogue52]

For a team wanting to slow down pace, I think any Jones’ offensive rebound needs to immediately kick out. It’s not like he is able to finish anyway.

 

[PizzaTheHutt]

People stop scapegoating Rob. It’s the whole team. Our defense is trash right now, zero flow on offense, Missouri playing out of their mind. The energy of this game is reminding me of the Iowa game. Rob is not having a great game but he is not solely to blame …pump the brakes

 

[Prone2Clone]

F you play-by-play guy. Jesus.

 

[CloniesForLife]

I hate picking on a kid trying his best but good God Rob needs to sit. If he's going to play then he needs to pass out when he gets a board
