***OFFICIAL: IOWA STATE vs. OSU GAME(DAY) THREAD!***

[Cy83ag]

Not our game to slow down.

 

[Cardinal2001]

Is Sir Charles watching the game? He does notice that we are owning the glass, and not just taking 3's right?

SLOW DOWN

This

 

[Clones21]

We just need to push it off misses and shoot 3's. It's our game.

 

[Cydwinder]

Chris Babb is the core of our team defensively, and OSU is wayyyy too good offensively. We need him. I don't think we can win this without him, either.

Offense is OSU's weakest part of their game. They are not a high powered offense, but they are efficient and do not beat themselves

But if you're not making layups, gotta make something.

I note that none of them are exactly writing us off.

 

[Cyzmc]

We need Babb for the second half. Hopefully we've got Mr. Miyagi in the locker room.

 

[cyatheart]

Clean up turnovers and we win this by 10

 

[awd4cy]

I'm ready for the lucious era to be over.....and please....the band has to stop the corny chants. It's by far the dumbest tradition they do. It doesn't work, it's annoying to our own fans and makes you all look like bigger nerds than band people already are. That is all.

Don't understand this at all.

If we clean up turnovers and start hitting our inside shots we win by 15+

do you need a hug?

I think babbs assignment will score more but others will score less, I want Babb in but well have other scorers and defenders in.

It may not be their game, but we're putting them on pace to score 80...

 

[67CY]

If Lucious doesn't stop the individual bs, we are done.

 

[Cyclonefan710]

I think we're screwed without babb

 

[CycloneErik]

It's very winnable. That much is clear.

Opportunity is knocking.

So dumb.
bubu was getting owned out there. I agree Clyburn should bring it up more often but get a hold of yourself.

 

[Wesley]

Was the OSU scouting report to let them shoot open 3's? If OSU hits their open 3's we are screwed.

And to stay out of foul trouble.

 

[kilroy]

It may not be their game, but we're putting them on pace to score 80...

they also scored 95 last game...

Well....Ohio State fan complex is similar to the Kansas cheating strategy.....that last series shows how this game will play out. The referees are NOT going to let a no-call or a call go AGAINST Ohio State in crunch time. They are going to get the call. We have to be 10 points better than them.....crazy thing is we ARE! We played terrible and it is a close game. Referees must be conditioned to know where the career threats and pressure will come from if they blow calls, so if game stays close, look for a lot of ISU fouls in the last two minutes to give OSU the win. The corolory to that is that we will get a few calls early in the second half as the referees set this up....ultimately they can point to stats and say game was called fairly as total number of fouls are similar. With Babb, I could see us getting the big lead we will need to win. Without....?????.
Ohio State is all that is wrong with college sports.....Hawkeye fans on steroids.

Good gawd people. Lucious is NOT playing "individually"... He's just playing his style of ball... Unfortunately OSU is good with their hands on defense and he may have to adjust a bit this half... Remember, this is the guy that said Bubu should stay in at the end of the OU game because that group was doing so well on the floor. Get off his ****.
