*** Official #6 IOWA STATE vs Kansas State Game(Day) Thread ***

[Cyched]

Guys

We know you’re capable of coming back.

The other team has a mental midget as their coach.

Put together a run and you can still do this.

 

[ClubCy]

I’m oddly unaffected by this game. Can’t stay hot all season and can’t always keep pulling out wins when they struggle. Use it as a wake up call and there is a whole different season starting next week.

 

[IST8CIVILENGR]

Just rest everyone and play for the part of the season that actually matters!

 

[madguy30]

Kind of

It was...left-handed, anyhow.

Same here. We were due for a loss on the road eventually. Is what it is.

 

[cal-cyclone]

The crazy thing about this game is that we are actually still in the game. As poorly as we have played, and it has been maybe the worst game of the year, if we string some stops together we still have a chance.

I think if the result holds, that’s what this team will do.

I know you’re new here, but im not sure positivity is allowed in game threads

Lol I’m just trying to be subjective as a non fan. Lots of overreactions. The same thing happens on the Houston board.

Yeah, get it all out today.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Y’all are too good to stay down. Even if you lose today. There’s not many teams that can beat you in March. Curtis jones makes big plays.

Thanks for the encouragement, yet I do think something is just flat off with this team for a few weeks. It feels like the 00-01 team after Fizer left where we were still really good and talented, but not a complete team and ran out of gas as the season got to about this point and into the NCAA tournament. The rest is history.

I'm kind of feeling the same way. Very much hoping for a great comeback, but I think there may be a silver lining in taking one on the chin right before tournament time.

Stops are good but we actually have to score. Stopping them hasn’t been our big problem.

Defense will always give us a chance, but this offense needs to improve. I'm not going to go crazy and say a 14 or 15 seed will take us down, but a 6 or 7 certainly can if the offense doesn't improve.

 

[TwinCitiesCy]

Clones don’t really look invested in this one. I can’t blame them. Nothing really at stake.

That said it’s hard to watch the lazy plays and poor shots.

Honest question - when you say "Nothing really at stake" are you kidding?

I hope the answer is Yes and your forgot the pirate emoji.

You realize if we win and Kansas beats Houston, we win a share of the Big 12 regular season championship, correct? Also, a 2 seed vs a 3 seed in the dance is at stake.

Not trying to throw shade, just curious if people understand how potentially important this game may be.

 

[ca4cy]

I have no clue wtf we are trying to achieve on offense.

I asked the question a lot the last 2 seasons, "what is our offensive identity?"

We've gone through some bad stretches this year but this is the first game that has given me those flashbacks. KState is playing with pride but their defense isn't better than what we've seen multiple times this year. I'd love to chalk it up as a bad day but the trend is tough to ignore.

Jerome Tang does rhyme with tiny wang

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Why are we always so out of position to rebound?

 

[iastatefan1]

So does traveling, carrying and double dribbling not apply to kaluma?

 

[Rabbuk]

Everything kstate does is "just basketball"
