*** Official #8 IOWA STATE vs #16 Kansas Game(Day) Thread ***

[Skyh13]

Yeah, was pretty clear early on how this one was gonna go. Glad I turned it off then.

I’m still pretty sure the team will make the NCAAs, but be ready for a BUNCH of losses coming.

Also… TJ, you’re almost down 30, just let some bench guys play ffs.

 

[cyatheart]

Guys just not playing hard now.

 

[awd4cy]

I thought the K-State loss was rock bottom yet this might be worse. Nobody even seems to care out there, there's no fight in this dog tonight which is the most disconcerting thing. Last years' team was far tougher.

You will get showed with dumbs if you say anything about last year being better.

Doesn’t really matter when we play so ******

It still matters. It's a matter of respect at some point.

 

[madguy30]

TJ needs to work the refs more often.

He works the refs all game.

That's not even remotely the problem with the group right now.

 

[Malone]

TJ needs to work the refs more often.

Ya kind of wonder if TJ’s stance on this leads to officiating abusing it.

 

[cyclones12321]

I truly believe is love doesn’t hit that shot we beat Kstate and this game is close. It just killed our swagger. Now we’re in a serious funk. Gotta get out of of saturday

For real this has been deflating

 

[Marcelason78]

Nojus has to redshirting if he can’t make the floor in a debacle like this.

 

[HouClone]

Refs aren't the reason we are down by over 20. Offense is the problem. Unless a miracle happens, we will lose but would like to see some offensive flow to carry over to next game.

I’m just worried what it does for morale. Keshon looks defeated. They clearly are coached to not react but I have to imagine not seeing your coach stick up for you guys tiring

 

[KCyclone2010]

We used to give Fran crap for the late season fade…welp I hate to say it but if TJ doesn’t do something we are headed that direction.

 

[dahliaclone]

It’s amazing all the boo birds that come out of the woodwork when we aren’t doing well. So many profiles on this thread I have never or rarely seen.

We are sucky. No denying we are struggling mightily. But my god some of you need to take a walk.

 

[Stumbles]

Is that 20 turnovers? JFC this team has completely given up. Prohm ball was this bad.

Edit: says 6 but feels like triple the amount.

6.

We fixed the turnover problem!

 

[Thomasrickj]

6 turnovers.

6.

I edited because I saw that. It just seems like every other possession we turn it over.

 

[Clonehomer]

We’re broken. Something is going on within this team. Guys aren’t happy and playing together like they had most of the year. They aren’t “bought in” right now.

No idea what it is though? Some of it might just be fatigue. TJ drives these guys SO hard.

Tough to care when you’re down and the calls are so ridiculous. Yes, the guys are doing a good job not reacting to calls, but it seems like rather than complaining they’re just saying **** it and going through the motions. They looked like they had a little life when they got it to 16 and the Lipsey elbow leading to a 3 just killed it all. Now they just want the game over.

 

[cyatheart]

Bad look by tj to let that flagrant go, you gotta say something there

 

[Cyhig]

Having flashbacks to the last couple years where the offense would just be nonexistent for games on end. Still confident this team can figure it out by tournament time, but it sure would be nice to see some life offensively before this game ends

 

[heitclone]

Last year was the first time we saw a TJ team that didn't hit a wall about halfway through league play, felt like we'd turned the corner but maybe it was a one off.

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

The good news is that it can’t get much worse than this

 

[FerShizzle]

Nojus has to redshirting if he can’t make the floor in a debacle like this.

thats not how redshirting works.
