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

[exCYtable]

Only down four after that train wreck? Take it.

 

[inCyteful]

Thank you Zona, wait to screw up the last 30 seconds.

Could of been down 10, instead down 4.

We are ok.

 

[CYDJ]

Good end to the half. can't go anywhere near the other team, get fouled, no call is the play of the game.

 

[cal-cyclone]

I can't believe we pulled to 4. That was getting out of control with all the turnovers and dunks and 3's they were putting up on us.

 

[RagingCloner]

Needed that. Jefferson and jones with a combined 4 points and ISU only down 4. We’ll be fine

 

[Tpups21]

Not sure what was worse between the offense or defense over the last four minutes.

 

[CapnCy]

At least we put a little band aid on the bleeding at the end

 

[cyclones500]

Thank goodness for those final two shots & the defensive stop. Glad the half ended. Yeek.

Up until the final 4-ish minutes, that was a solid half.

 

[trevn]

Tougher for longer.

Down 4 at half after that run by Arizona isn’t bad. We’ll have our chances to win this one.

 

[IcSyU]

4 guys standing and watching the ball offensively leads to the exact results you would expect.

Atrocious halves offensively from everyone not named Tamin.

 

[cayin]

Only down 4 is incredible haha

yep, given what has happened, i'll take it. How do we get Jones and Jefferson going?

 

[HoustonClone]

If the other team is allowed to hack, our bigs shouldn't be handling the ball

This is a good point, but then what do we have left on offense?

 

[Walden4Prez]

Didn’t have a scouting report on AZ coming in, but didn’t know they were that strong in D.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

After that dunk the camera cut to to TJ and you could just see how pissed he was. He’s going to chew ass in that locker room

 

[Skyh13]

So, uh, can we talk officiating again?

They are letting them play, with super extra leeway given to the home team, with one or two catastrophic calls.

On the whole... still not the worst?

 

[sunset]

How do they assign refs? Completely baffling how the #3 team has to continually battle the refs on the road but get no such consideration at home. It’s really atrocious.

 

[Run Faster]

Refs found their Arizona jerseys…hopefully they just blew the load…better second half

 

[NorthCyd]

We can't just blindly drive to the basket all game. They aren't calling the contact. We have to hit some shots from outside. Hopefully CuJo can pull out ofnm his funk, but his legs may be shot from playing basically every minute of the last game. Thank god for Lipsey.

 

[Cyman42]

Needed that. Jefferson and jones with a combined 4 points and ISU only down 4. We’ll be fine

Agreed. Weathered a big storm. Only down 4

 

[isucyfan]

I'm old enough to remember when Lipsey couldn't hit the broad side of a barn as a freshman. What a player.
