*** Official Kansas State vs #3 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[cdface]

We've been loose with the ball for the last 4 games, and it's coming home to roost. KSU are making us pay just like Arizona did.

 

[cydonk]

The energy in the building looks zapped. The crowd looks disinterested on TV

I'm bored

 

[Jacktronic]

I think they'll wake up 2nd half

 

[keepngoal]

I guess they don’t realize how many things are on the line in this game. I’m not sure they win playing like they did in the first half

Idiotic

 

[HoustonClone]

That’s not how it works. When the team needs us, that’s when the crowd should do its thing

I just texted my son in the student section that it's time for Hilton to help out this team. Needed today.

 

[Walden4Prez]

The foul trouble alone is going to make it tough for the lavender dooshbags to win the game, but I would like to see us put it away in the first 10mins.

ISU has trailed at halftime in 4 out of last 5 games.

 

[NorthCyd]

Getting fouled and going to the line is incredibly effective. Unfortunately it doesn't do much to get the crowd amped up.

 

[ClonerJams]

Gilbert with 3 points and 3 turnovers. He has to be better in the 2nd half

 

[CyGuy5]

I’d also love to know why this team simply cannot dominate an inferior opponent. We love to give bad teams hope by letting them hang around all game long

 

[RezClone]

I mean, I guess trust TJ, but Jeffferson at the 5 and Waston at the four seems like it might be able to counter what KState is up to.

Yeah their little 5 out AAU Steve Prohm offense is causing Jackson and Chatfield a lot of problems. I don't hate it the idea.

 

[Erik4Cy]

Quiet crowd and getting out toughed/rebounded.

Not a lot to be super loud about so far, but...

I always have trouble gauging how loud Hilton is on TV vs. in person. I feel like ESPN has sound muffed/muted a bit for broadcast purposes at times. I'm sure it was very loud in person with the fast start to game by ISU.

 

[Lexclone]

Jefferson with two fouls made a difference.

OK, that makes sense now why he sat so long.

 

[RagingCloner]

I'm bored

Look at that, you learned how to spell!

 

[fsanford]

Seems like no one in Hilton is up for this game. Quiet crowd and getting out toughed/rebounded.

It was too far over the top to start

 

[Clonefan94]

If Hilton doesnt wake up this is gonna be a bad, bad loss.

It sounds pretty good on TV when ISU is doing good things. The crowd gets into it, then ISU does 2 or 3 boneheaded things and what is the crowd supposed to do? You can only play like ass for so long before the crowd gets tired of cheering for nothing.

 

[CySmurf]

Another turnover by Gilbert. He’s complete garbage today. Complete ass today. I’m disappointed with this complete lack of giving a single flying **** today. This type of basketball, especially after a loss, is pathetic. I don’t understand this team and unless they come out in the second half guns a blazing then we don’t deserve anything and just aren’t that good. Sorry if I’m being a downer, but this first half is beyond garbage **** poop diarrhea. No excuses for this after starting the game up 13-4. Homers will hate me but this is inexcusable.

Try being an emotional assbag without texting it and removing all doubt.

 

[RezClone]

For the past few games, the strategy against us, which has been working pretty well, is to play VERY tight against our guards and challenge us to drive the lane.

Our ball control, at least this far in the game, is pretty sloppy.

Bonus points if you're allowed to hack us on the drive.

 

[Nor'MidWester]

There is nothing or the fans to get up for. Can’t blame them for this right now.

That's the role of the crowd though, yell and make noise on defense, pick the team up when they are down. Not going to be too hard on the crowd though just kinda jealous after that Arizona game, their fans were standing up for a lot of the game, not just the students but the olds as well. Our donors just sit the whole game unless we score.

But I get it, hard to get amped up with all the turnovers and lack of toughness.

 

[redwards]

Opponents have figured out Keshon. Third game in a row. They drop a defender to double team him and he has no chance to react because he is committed to driving. At times we have 3 men on the floor who are not a threat to score. The ball needs to go through the post, no matter who is playing
