*** Official #19 IOWA STATE vs #12 Kansas Sate Game(Day) Thread ***

[CycloneRulzzz]

"Kansas Sate" LOL!

Please do not change it @CycloneRulzzz . I think it adds to my dislike of the mildcats.

I hate making a mistake. It's going to do all I can to not change it.

 

[Cardinal2001]

well, our guys read their press clippings too. time to sack up

Unfortunately this will likely be affected by the refs.... and we all know that never favors the road team. Unless you are KU.

 

[ClonesFTW]

I was told Grill is not playing today, anyone know if there’s any truth to that?

 

[pourcyne]

Today would be a good day to set some records!!!

Not every game is on the refs. Players make way more mistakes during a game then refs, people just choose to blame refs because it’s easier.

@ChrisMWilliams draft kings has took the game off the board. Any news?

Both teams have a player questionable. If I had to guess that would be the reason? Probably reevaluating currently, should be posted back up soon.

I must be an idiot because I think we can nip these guys today.

And bonus points for having Fran call the game.

Sucks Grill isn't good to go but he was a net negative last game so I'd rather have him sit and get right than just struggle to play the rest of the year

 

[allfourcy]

Not saying our guys aren't hungry, but KState is desperate for a win after road woes. The 3 pt numbers will improve at home. KState 69- ISU 61.

Crap, Grill out. Change that to KState 72- ISU 59. Regardless of his latest woes, he usually plays well in his home state and it really hurts our depth with him out. Hopefully I can post later that "I'm a fool" ......again.

Probably gonna see more Demarion Watson today, which has to potential to help in certain ways.

Obviously prefer a healthy Grill, but Watson has usually been good or neutral when he gets his opportunities. That's all you can ask from a Freshman. Just don't hurt the team when it's your time and pick your spots.

 

[Cupped]

K-State has gone from -4 to -3 in the last 12 hours.

Hit our layups and knock down free throws and come home with a big win. Go Cyclones!

If the Clones pull this one out we will improve to 2-0 while I have covid. Looking for a perfect season!

Can you sustain the Covid through the NCAA tournament? Hope you are doing ok!

I can’t remember, is Tang the coach that stopped the clock by getting a coaching box warning, or was that some other team? He’s no Bruce Weber out there defending the fast break but I seem to recall him annoying me.

Ignoring mistakes, the refs do have an impact on how a game is played. If they are calling it tight, it's a definite disadvantage to pressure defense teams. If they let things go underneath, it favors physical teams. So it's beyond just whether they miss a call, the style is hugely important to a team like ISU.

 

[ClonerJams]

Need to shut down Grill down until he is 100% healthy. Need him healthy for March.

 

[ISUTex]

Jaz playing well lessens the sting of Grill being out IMO. For now. Need Grill back healthy.
