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

This is where we need Gilbert to step up, but he seems to be regressing to just driving to the basket hoping for a foul and when he's not getting them it's a struggle. I wish he would just trust his shot and take rhythm 3s. He passes up a lot of open shots to drive.

Agree he needs to trust his three more. It opens his drives up so much

 

[cyputz]

Thank god the team doesn’t melt down like some of the fan base.

I'd love to hear your idea of just letting a 16-0 run happen, crowd going nuts and the opponent with confidence and our team fumbling the ball around

Easy. He didn’t.

He used a timeout in the middle of that run, and there was a TV timeout in the middle of it as well.

They are sticking to Curtis big time.
We need Keshon to step up.

2nd half is Keshon time

Teams have clogged the lane when he drives. The book and scout is out on him which is why it’s critical we hit open shots. Jones has been a big beneficiary of teams packing it in against us but not teams are tight on him. Which is why Tamin has been so open tonight. Those open 3s for guys not named Jones will be there.

can Rock be any worse than Chatfield ?

Small sample size but the few minutes Rock has played he hasn’t looked too physical. But again that’s just ******** garbage time

 

[cyups2323]

Big are fine. They just need to settle in and finish. Jackson has missed a few he normally makes.

We must be watching different games. Chatfield has had the ball thrown to him 3 times and all 3 times he fumbled it. Jackson has missed about 4 or 5 point blank shots and both are way to weak with the ball tonight. Hopefully they can turn it around this half.

 

[67CY]

Can we afford to give CJ a break for a few minutes and see if that can help him get going.

 

[Clonefan32]

yeah, okay - we'll just go with your opinion of "the momentum changed on its own". had nothing to do with a bad call. because bad calls never cause swings in a game, especially in a hostile environment.

If one call caused a 15 point shift in momentum that’s on us. It’s big 12 road basketball. You’ll have to play through some bad calls

 

[fsanford]

2 very good defensive teams going head to head.

TJ took him out in the first half. Not sure for how long, but he gave him a rest.

 

[cal-cyclone]

They are just hounding Jones on defense. There's a reason he looks off.

Yeah it really seems like Az thinks stopping Cujo is job #1.

 

[CentexCyclone]

Whew, big 3 there by Tamin. Down only 4 after that dog poop last 10 minutes feels like a victory of sorts. But need to find some offensive continuity early in the 2nd half.

 

[RagingCloner]

Hopefully either TJ or NS told CJ he doesn’t need to put up 30 for them to win this

 

[HouClone]

Love is a more talented Peyton Sandfort. He’ll eventually fold

Need Love to go hero mode and miss and keep missing.

Fans need to examine their emotions in-game if people really think Rock should be out there over Chatfield…

 

[StLouisClone]

Hopefully Gilbert and Jones hit a few floaters in the 2nd half to get them going. Doesn't seem like a good risk-reward for them to dribble all the way to the rim.

TJ took him out in the first half. Not sure for how long, but he gave him a rest.

He played the most at 18 but did get that 2 minute rest.

 

[isucyfan]

I know it's been discussed ad nauseum, but it boggles my mind that people are so basketball-illiterate and don't understand what guys like Chatfield and Heise add to this team. The great stuff they do don't show up in the box score.
