[Erik4Cy]

You should fight him, I’d love to see it

lol

isufbcurt is a former ISU FB player iirc, right?

How in the hell do we only have 1 fg attempt for the game from our bench? Not going to score if you don’t shoot.

Because before 2 or 3 weeks ago, our offense off the bench was Curtis Jones and now its three guys who are either terrified to shoot the ball or probably shouldn’t shoot it anyways

 

[fsanford]

We finished with 6 assists tonight. I think that coupled with the shooting percentages tells basically the entire story

When you shoot 3 of 21 from 3 that will impact assist total.

That said it's probably only 4 or 5 more if they hit a reasonable number.

But I do think you hit more 3's it does open up for more assists in the paint

 

[Cyhig]

Effort was better most of the game Officials let them get raped, for some reason we don't rape back, start missing shots, get tight, lose game.

We played tight and slow from the beginning, did good things, didn't start driving crazily into the lane until second half. Could not make a bucket from anywhere

Officials were what we expect at kansas and we were not good enough to overcome it. Notice I didn't say the officials lost this game for us. But they sucked anyway. **** off apologists!

We need to get the swagger back. We have none and that is where the lid on the bucket came from. We have very winnable games coming up. Straighten up and get them.

Agreed. It almost seems Iike they are sometimes trying too hard. It’s like a batting drought. The harder you try to dig yourself out of slump, the more of a slump you dig yourself into

Just get back to basics. And have fun on the court. You know the swagger is back when you see the players having a good time

Just like good vibes and good shooting is contagious, the same is true with hesitation and bad shooting.

 

[Thomasrickj]

Darius Bieber, isuno1fan, and Thomasrtj don’t post anything positive. They show up only when things are going bad

I’ve posted plenty of positive stuff before. Why would I say anything positive when this team is getting their asses kicked again?

 

[CycloneVet]

lol

isufbcurt is a former ISU FB player iirc, right?

Yes

 

[fsanford]

Except Jackson. He was a positive tonight, and Jefferson’s effort was strong.

Bigs were good, 17 offensive boards screams effort

Again they fixed 2 big things from Saturday.

But other things broke

 

[BigLame]

Probably get them more tired so they'd foul more and not be able to shoot.

I kind of think the style of intense defense & the number of higher level games (once Maui kicked things off) has caught up & we've hit a physical wall. Couple this with the Arizona loss & it's effect mentally, and we've received a double-whammy we haven't been able to work out of yet. Throw in an injury to a key player keeping him out a fairly long stretch of games & you get where we are. Leading up to this time all we've heard was positive vibes from the press, so now this challenge before them was one not many thought we'd have to endure. F it, that's basketball, & more importantly that's life. Ton of basketball left & my hope is all grind through this ****** mess & come out the other side playing deep into March.

 

[KCyclone2010]

Seriously the bench players just need to shoot the ******* ball. One is bound to go in and they have to at least defend you

 

[FerShizzle]

I am most disappointed that there seemed to be zero attempt to change anything. Just kept rolling with it.

 

[SoleCyclone]

lol

isufbcurt is a former ISU FB player iirc, right?

If he was on any of the teams in the 1990s, I'd take the other guy

 

[isufbcurt]

And could isufbcurt take his dumb button and shove it up his ass.

Ok tough guy. Don't post dumb stuff and I won't dumb your posts.

 

[Bob f]

Last season we fought at Houston, lost. That told me a lot of what we had. Sure hope when mommy comes back we regain something similar. This is mind-boggling

 

[GoSTATE71]

3-21 from 3 and 3 bench points.

 

[jcisuclones]

That game made me drink four beers…. Just realized it’s Monday

 

[CycloneVet]

Bigs were good, 17 offensive boards screams effort

If shots were falling we would have broke KU. They needed a win in the worst way

 

[HoustonClone]

It’s really going to suck to look back at this season and wonder what might have been if Caleb Love hadn’t hit that shot. We’ve completely played ourselves out of a 1 seed spot and we’ve probably dropped the 2 line now too. ****.

Ah, yes....while accurate, that's bargaining with the past "what ifs" that don't allow teams, and fans, to move forward. This sounds all therapist like, but if the team is still reeling from that, they are playing against that game AND this one simultaneously. Impossible task. Therapists call it "radical acceptance" for a reason as it allows people to be in the moment. Sorry, don't mean to be a Cyclone Fanatic shrink.

 

[CYDJ]

You are in every game thread complaining about refs. And no, tonight the bad calls didn’t affect the game. Our horrific shooting lost the game.

No **** sherlock. Did I say the officials lost us the game? Show me where?

Can I not point out how horrific the officials are? Your can certainly point out how bad our players are.

Are you related to all these officials or something? Why do you care?

Why don't you quit complaining about the team not doing it's best job?

This is a ******* message board. That is what it is for. You vent how you want. I'll vent how I want.
