*** Official #4 Auburn vs #5 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[IASTATE07]

Gilbert sitting on the bench killed us. He would probably have 30 if he was in the whole time.

Gilbert has been doing too much dribbling.

Lots of film to work with. Nevermind we play tomorrow.

Auburn drama queens. I am so injured that I can hardly walk, until I get the ball in my hands

And the announcers playing it up with them

 

[ISU_Guy]

We played aau dribble ball all second half.
Turned the ball over and Did not score for like 8 mins and auburn went off . This is the result

What is up with TJ teams blowing huge leads? I just don’t get it

They really struggle in the half court traditionally.

What is up with TJ teams blowing huge leads? I just don’t get it

Because he's a college basketball coach and it happens all the time?

Gilbert sitting on the bench killed us. He would probably have 30 if he was in the whole time.

Maybe he'll be smarter next time then, that 4th foul was completely unnecessary.

Of course with how this weekend went this couldn't be easy. I know I like many thought a loss wouldn't be bad but man after being up 18 this does feel like it will be a tough loss to take.

The offense still needs a lot of work. WAAAAAAY too much dribbling.

Our undersize guards dribbling into doubles and triples with no movement for an outlet is not good at all.

 

[Revolution]

I kind of hoped with nearly 10 players seeing the rotation that they could do better at maintaining the pace.

 

[Jammin’]

Jefferson looks lost 2nd half, no confidence. That will get fixed.

 

[CY9008]

Keep driving and getting to the line!!

 

[AlaCyclone]

My wife turned out the lights when Auburn took the lead. Good thing I am in a different room. I believe! I believe!

FWIW, I saw two cardinals on campus yesterday when I was walking from my car to Hilton for the WBB game. I believe! I believe!

Let;s Go State!

We are way too soft 2nd half. TJ has to do a better job coaching.

 

[CyberJJJ]

The boys are tired, half court O is lacking, Auburn can’t miss from 3 is seems.

Agreed. Those step backs and logo threes are impressive.

 

[jspeels]

In the grand scheme of things, it’s game 4. We are fine.

 

[ISUKyro]

Need a run of our own

 

[Three4Cy]

This looks exactly like when Auburn played Houston, Auburn just took over the last four minutes of the game.

 

[IcSyU]

It’s a trend. I’m sorry but it is

Anemic offense + we dare teams to beat us with open looks from three.

Auburn is good enough to absolutely punish that. We played way above average in the first half while they were way below average. They're now playing damn near perfect and we are playing extremely poorly.

 

[JCity]

Having the terrible lineup out there after we were up by 5 again and seemed close to taking over is what cost us this game.
