*** Official Milwaukee Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

[Rabbuk]

These refs are just guessing on foul calls. Both ways.

 

[SolarGarlic]

I’m pretty sure we’d defend better overall right now if we weren’t pressuring the ball but I’m also pretty sure Prohm is determined to keep doing it until they learn to do it.

Holy **** on the fouls

Exactly what I was thinking. The ball pressure we're applying is embarrassingly bad.

 

[FinalFourCy]

We may win, but at best this is an even matchup.

 

[Dandy]

We could really use another big body out there. If only we had one available...

 

[FerShizzle]

They’ll get better, but there’s not a lot of things to build on with this team.

That sequence was frustrating. No call on Jackson’s drive, UWM gets bailed out on a similar play.

It’s a good thing we didn’t schedule that additional exhibition.

???

The secret scrimmage takes the place of an exhibition game. I would say competition against a P5 is much better than some scrimmage against a nobody.

Think hurricanes.

It’s not a big deal, but these refs have missed a lot of travels on UWM

We are currently losing to a nobody.

 

[Rabbuk]

Buckle up boys.

 

[Gordilly]

Well at least now I know I have no reason to keep SlingTV after football season is over

 

[FinalFourCy]

Haha, oh man, we’re not only bad, but have bad luck.

 

[DurangoCy]

Haha, that of course had to go in.

Didn't get home until a few minutes ago, but I guess I'm not surprised that we're struggling. Hopefully Prohm can make a few adjustments and we can have a strong 2nd half.

 

[rochclone]

Lol, perhaps it’s a function of talent?

We lack a mismatch. We lack guys that need double teams. We lack shooters. We lack size. We lack guys that can create and finish. Little experience. We don’t have a single complete offensive player. And you think it’s coaching?

Is recruiting part of coaching? We had plenty of things to pitch when it comes to immediate playing to grad transfers and we just completely whiffed. If you are going to give the staff props (and deservedly so) for the 2018 haul then I think it fair to call a spade a spade when it comes to those same efforts in 2016 & 2017

[Rabbuk]

I'm not sure what Jeff Beverly brings...

 

[Dandy]

This makes me sad

 

[HititHard]

Watching with the Cyclones.TV app on a Roku stick for the first time tonight. Not too bad so far!

What are you watching? Can't be this game if you think it isn't bad.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Well, if we’re looking for some teachable moments, we got some.

Nick is having another solid game. DJ needs to get involved in a big way but he needs help to get his shots.

 

[SolarGarlic]

I know the work-in-progress stuff sounds nice, but losing to UWM is unacceptable. This isn't practice. If your pressure defense isn't working, go to zone for a few possessions. If your motion offense isn't working spread the floor and let your best players go. I'm all for development, but not at the cost of a win. This is embarrassing.

 

[awd4cy]

I will take a 1 point win in overtime at this point. Just find a way not to lose. The tourney later this week could be ugly.

 

[Beyerball]

Let’s hope and pray that Lard and Brase are all that and a bag of chips or we wont win 8 games this year..

Their guards are too athletic and quick to guard right in their face..we are getting beat off the dribble every offensive series and doubling this post man is stupid coaching im sorry..He is skilled and can pass the ball..just like Mizzou. DJ has been awful thru 1.5 games..awful. He cant be that way..He has to stop pressing and wake up.

Edit: Losing this game would be monumentally bad.
