@Darius Bieber how do you dumb this?

He’s a ******* *******

Literally the ONLY thing you 100% COULD NOT DO on that last play was turn it over with time left on the shot clock. Might as well have just stood there and gotten a shot clock violation and that would’ve been a better outcome.

Love to meet auburn again. In the fucin final 4

 

[67CY]

I’m disappointed in TL so far this season

 

[cyclones500]

Dreadful second half.

 

[IcSyU]

I think you start that drive a second or 2 earlier. At best you put out up with 0 and still give them 7 seconds. I think that's too much time left to really think it's a "hold for last shot" scenario..wish we'd just run offense there.

No, you force them to defend the whole time and see if you can sneak an easy layup. Whether you get a shot off with 20 or 10 doesn't matter. They're getting it back. Even if you get the board you can run it out at 20.

God, I know that is not a bad loss, it's a good team, and all that, but I feel like I want to puke, cry, punch somebody.... all of it. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

 

[CloneLawman]

Bruce Pearl is just such an a$$hole. Still got some Hawk in him.

 

[cyclonestunners]

Well…. only fitting that hero ball loses the game for us.

I’m telling though…. Auburn is SUPER talented. We did not play well in the 2nd half and still could’ve won it.

I think we have a special season ahead of us folks!!

Main thing I wanted to see was our guards matchup against them, and Jackson taking on p4 bigs. We did both. I'd be feeling pretty good... if we hadn't blown an 18 point lead to get to that end

 

[CYDJ]

We can definitely be a great team but that was the most frustrating game I can remember

Haven't been watching ISU BBall very long?

 

[CychiatricWard]

To not even get a shot off is malpractice. Inexcusable

 

[Tpups21]

That was a classic ISU loss if I've ever seen one.

 

[BCClone]

Rebounding is our problem. Nobody boxed out just watched a lot of the game

 

[bisonlj]

How could it happen??

 

[SCNCY]

First four minutes of the second half did us in. We let them get back in it instead of knocking them back into the ground.

 

[CycloneSpinning]

Love TJ, but he isn’t known for drawing up inbound plays

Fred was amazing at those. Definitely miss that.

 

[NoCreativity]

Well, that was fun, but I suspect we go 1-2 in this tourney now. Given we have anything left for Dayton tommorrow night a date with Uconn awaits most likely after that.

 

[CyGuy5]

I am so sick and tired of Iowa State basketball getting up by 15-20 points and blowing it. That’s inexcusable

 

[cyatheart]

We will be really good, I worry about our athleticism in the inside though in these elite matchups. These stretch 4s we just got no answer for

 

[CYDJ]

OMG and the **** that comes on after the game.
