*** Official South Dakota State vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[NYCYFan]

These scrappy teams are hard to put away. Just stay the course and the Cyclones will wear them down eventually, like what Illinois did to Morehead earlier. Need to stop settling and attack the rim more.

Jim Carey sighting!!

Those orange bibs and hat really stand out

6 offensive rebounds for SDSU the reason this is close.

Also not sure why we are not playing inside our more often. They cannot match our size or athleticism and you can’t really bring doubles the way we’re shooting

 

[Cyched]

Need to calm down on both ends a bit maybe.

ISU looks a bit uncomfortable on offense and SDSU is pretty patient on their own end.

Hopefully they start to wear down a bit; I don't see ISU keeping up with 63% shooting overall.

Ultimately nothing I wouldn’t expect for the first half of a first round NCAA game.

Otherwise, agreed. Tighten up the defense and I feel good.

Seems like their defensive pressure hurts them at times. Give up too many easy buckets inside if they can't force a turnover.

mayo is for real

 

[cal-cyclone]

the def in the last 2-3 minutes was poor. we can't let down on def against any team in the ncaa tourney.I don't care who they are.

 

[Clonefan32]

Vegas live line is right where it started, which makes me feel better

 

[jaj040]

The press out of the timeout that led to the easy basket felt like the momentum killer.

SDSU is real disciplined on defense and doesn't give up much room.

Hopefully ISU can loosen them up and find some things as we get closer to the 10 minute mark.

She asked if she’s pronouncing oatzelberger right, then proceeds to pronounce it wrong

 

[exCYtable]

Gilbert with the early fouls and CJ didn't do much. Gilbert is our best defender. Get him going and we should be fine.

 

[Pope]

Teams are learning that the key to handling our defense is to spread us out, and SDSU is doing a good job of that.

"I'm pronouncing it correct right."

"yes"

 

[jcf817]

Christ. We can crush Baylor and Houston, but this team gives us problems? Come on! LFG!!

 

[CyNews]

we need to stop giving Mayo easy shots. fix that and we probably have a 10 + point lead at half.
this is correctable. They have two guys who can score. Stop worrying about the other guys. Stop Mayo.

Put the lid on Mayo

 

[ImJustKCClone]

MomcheLOHvich and now TJ OATselberger.

A little prep. Just a LITTLE prep...

 

[madguy30]

Oatselberger

She checked how to pronounce it, and they agreed with how she said it.

Be patient, it’s coming.
