*** Official IOWA STATE vs DePaul Game(Day) Thread ***

Ban this sad sack troll.

Putting him on my ignore list made game threads much better

I'm not trying to flinch being as it's December 1 but right now I'm relegated to the idea that ISU might just be a team that will have bumps all year.

They certainly look shaky so far but I think there is some young talent that can grow

 

[ClonerJams]

Early in the season, but our 3 point defense is a major concern at this point. Needs to get better.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Interesting choice for the suit/tie on the talking head...methinks he's taking Barbie to heart.

 

[Cloned4Life]

Going to be a long year…. But they are going crazy from 3… hopefully won’t last.

They are shooting well from 3 because they are open.

It’s not luck.

It’s not a fluke.

They are open. AND confident (from hitting open shots).

I'm not sure where the defense has gone, but if we play like this against Iowa we're going to have to score 100+ to win.

I'm hoping they escape tonight, expecting a loss by about 10+ next week and then hopefully don't screw up before conference season starts.

We used to make teams uncomfortable, especially guards. So far this year we aren’t as good at locking guys down, getting into passing lanes, turning dudes over.

Teams can score on us at will.

I don't get this comment...we literally have the top ranked turnover defense in the country.

 

[Cyched]

God damn announcers are losing their minds every time DePaul scores.

YAASSS!

Good thing I’m drinking because I won’t be over dramatic if we lose this game. Good lord there’s no reason this should be a tight game

Which is not the same as guarding necessarily. In a half court situation the defense struggles.

Ban this sad sack troll.

Why? He ain’t lyin’.

I think it’s appropriate to be concerned.

Well...there might be.

 

[ca4cy]

choosing to play Tre and Omaha over him is one reason we aren't as good defensively as the last two years.

Or maybe you put an athletic wing in the game to see if we can stop giving up wide open 3s?

The comment was literally saying we didn't turn people over. That's what I was responding too. And high turnover rate does = "making people feel uncomfortable "

I think it’s appropriate to be concerned.

Look at his body of work and tell me ( with a straight face) that he isn't a troll.

 

[Clonefan32]

As rough as that was I think we win by 15-20. Took their best shot and are ahead. I think we will adjust.

Is Watson really that athletic? He's got some length.

 

[HFCS]

Gotta just laugh at career high 5 threes in first half with some of them tightly defended.

 

[tim_redd]

No blood

There was blood. Not enough I guess...

 

[ClonerJams]

I do like they play the old school NBA theme
