*** Official IOWA STATE vs Virginia Game(day) Thread ***

Is your phone ringing? It's CBS College Basketball producers looking for new analytical talent.

Sorry I stopped watching a long time ago.

TO 8 assists 6

Ball is very sticky on offense. Hard for Burton at 6'4 to play post D against physical team. Mckay just isn't strong enough either.

I don't know if there is anything ISU can do down 14 except hope Virginia goes to sleep and ISU shoots lights out. But strange things happen in March so there is always hope.


first half was just domination by superior team

 

[simply1]

Need Mckay to do something, no 2nd shots. Offense outside of Niang and Thomas was brutal, Nader needs to kick on some of those drives instead of forcing into the teeth of the D. Hope Monte can start hitting some of his 3 balls, that's also not helping. Defense, what can you say...

 

[greatshu]

Can Hogue play for the second half? We need his intensity and rebounding.

 

[Final42b]

Just going to enjoy Niang these last 20 minutes, anything else will be a bonus

All right guys, I know what the problem is. You see, I was on a hot streak earlier this year by drinking Jim Beam and Coke during games. Well, I did that during the big 12 tournament and we all know how that worked. Tonight I've been drinking Jack and Coke. Rest assured, I have switched back to Jim Beam. Now I know it didn't work against Oklahoma, but we're still 3-1 when I drink Jim and coke. Here's to 4-1

The only time McKay even raised his arms over his head is to address the crowd. Hard to rebound or play defense in the post with your arms down. UGH!!!

First you have to be in the right position before your raised arms are going to help. I know it's fashionable to blame Jameel, but we've had multiple defensive breakdowns by multiple players

 

[simply1]

fell into Mckay's arms! yes!

 

[jdoggivjc]

Thomas having a great game.

 

[jdoggivjc]

They look better this half. Need to keep it up.

There is no defending any of this defense tonight.

 

[Althetuna]

Not a good shot by Niang

 

[Cy$]

Niang doing a good job on the boards this half.

 

[simply1]

Yeah, I hesitate to say throw it to McKay more but getting gill in trouble would help.

 

[tim_redd]

that is ******* terrible

 

[DurangoCy]

That was a **** call.

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Another **** call on Georges.

 

[simply1]

When they stop scoring, we stop scoring, geeze.

 

[IcSyU]

Nader's had two threes wiped off by fouls.
