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

[MNclone]

Feeling alright about a 2 pt game at half. Just like against ND there are a few things to clean up in order to have a great game.

 

[CycloneErik]

I hope that works out.........

But we can do this either way if we have to.

 

[Go2Guy]

don't mean to be debbie downer / mr negative, but we've all seen it before where we lead, or keep it close in first half, then don't come out well for 2nd half and end up losing by a wider margin.

Keep TO's low, make some bunnies and play that zone D a little tighter. They are not that good of an outside shooting team, except Thomas and that's why I thought it was smart to go zone.

 

[Cycofan1]

Babb's going to try and play!!

 

[State43]

Are people seriously mad that Craft is better than Lucious? Maybe you keyboard warriors can do better?

 

[benjay]

OSU's defense is better than advertised imo. I'm impressed. They are a very good basketball team. We can beat a very good basketball team if we put it all together.

ISU is still in the game and I think that's the most important thing. As long as it's a less than a 3 possession game I think ISU is always in the game because of our 3 point shooting. Just need to tighten up like you said and we could be going to LA.

 

[Cy83ag]

Just need to keep playing our game, shots are going to fall.

 

[Clones32]

Need to finished around the rim better. I doubt that we will be able to get 8 off. rebounds again. The winner of this game could be the favorite to go to the final 4.

 

[Cardinal2001]

The rebounds are amazing, very impressive on the Cyclones!

 

[Go2Guy]

9 turn overs and 10-pts off those TO's

 

[isustrong]

Ha, Charles Barkely just said that the Big Ten should be called the big 4 lol.

 

[heitclone]

Losing Babb is a big but the thing that could soften that blow is that we are playing zone, he's a great zone D player but it may help to not need his great man to man D. The impact may not be as bad. I hope he's back but if not, the zone may be the way to go.

 

[Goothrey]

I'm not ready. I was enjoying the peace of halftime.

 

[nj829]

Babb needs to Hulkamania up, shake the finger and head at OSU, drop the big boot and knock them out.

 

[shagcarpetjesus]

We need to stop trying to dribble through 3 people. Spread the floor and move the ball with the pass. If they are jumping passing lanes, cut to the basket.

 

[NobodyBeatsCy]

Unleash the Kraken!

 

[Cardinal2001]

No warm up for Babb. Not good.

 

[CydeOut]

DO IT FOR BABB!!! Lets GO!!!

 

[cowgirl836]

beautiful three!
