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

Giant chip on their shoulder now. We need to make them work on defense. Can't have a highlight play on every possession. Keep em off three pt line, an watch the back cuts

 

[jcf817]

Maybe. They work the ball around very well.

Yeah. Doesn’t doubling make that worse for us?

 

[Gunnerclone]

wasn't it a 7 point game at the half with Houston?

How many games this year were we up by 20 at the half? That seems to be what people are sad about today in this thread.

 

[AlumfromAmes]

It seems about normal. The first time I watch all year and they **** the bed.

How do you not lock them down after they pull within 10? No sense of urgency at all!

 

[madguy30]

wasn't it a 7 point game at the half with Houston?

Yep, 8 with BU, 7 with KSU.

Hopefully the trend continues.

That last sequence of possessions gives me pause a bit.

 

[cyfanbr]

Me nervous, but I’d be nervous doesn’t matter what.

Hoping for a strong start to the second half, so that we don’t give SDSU more hope, which could result in some doubt/hesitation on our end.

Wut?

 

[jcf817]

Too long ago. Don’t remember.

 

[madguy30]

It does if players don't rotate to the right spot which may have happened.

Also leaving Mayo iso might make things harder.

 

[Cyched]

they **** the bed.

We led the entire half

 

[Gunnerclone]

We led the entire half

We lightly nocturnal emissioned the bed!

 

[twincyties]

10-0 run over 3 minute stretch is only reason this is close. Don’t like this small of a lead at the half - especially the way we’re playing offensively. But prevent another run like that in the second and we should be fine.

 

[Cardinal2001]

expectations through the roof after that start

This is one and done. They can’t wait too long. Flashbacks of Hampton.

 

[drmwevr08]

She can’t pronounce names but damn is she pretty.

Would.


Hopefully they learned enough to make this half a grinder for SDSU and the lead hits 20 by 10 left.

 

[Pope]

We open the game 9 for 9 from the field and we only lead by 7 at half. That's a good reason to be nervous. First 5 minutes of the second half we be really important.

**** off troll.

So will how the refs decide to call this half. I’m expecting tight whistles, and I don’t love the idea.

 

[NENick]

Gilbert picking up that 2nd foul and sitting from there, along with Lipsey losing Mayo for a 3. Otherwise this would be a 15 point lead.
