*** Official St. John's vs #23 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[ClonesTwenty1]

After the Hoiball years, I never thought I would like defensive-oriented basketball. But I do because it is glorious.

It’s fun to watch. Next year I feel we will have the full package. Defense+scoring= hype train

Love Watson's energy; he's all over the floor today, making the most of his minutes.

 

[Die4Cy]

I can relate to the astronaut

 

[Pope]

They remind me a lot of Iowa, seriously. Soft and whine about every call. When they can't outplay someone, they out thug them.

You nailed it, sir.

 

[JP4CY]

Just showed Brock throwing TD on the scoreboard.

 

[CyCloned]

Bob Jones needed to sit for a while. He is taking beating out there. SJ has just shoved him down a few times in the post.

I see some good offensive games in his future. Might still be a comfort thing.

St John’s plays like every other Mike Anderson team I’ve seen. Make them play a half court game and don’t turn it over and they will absolutely fold.

 

[CentexCyclone]

With their length, lateral movement and efficient switches, Cyclones half-court defense is like a spider web: Stretchy, sticky, lethal.

 

[Die4Cy]

Well that wasn't a good offensive sequence at all

 

[exCYtable]

Man we miss way too many bunnies

 

[trevn]

We are 25+ better than this team if we could actually make a few bunnies.

 

[madguy30]

I keep thinking one of these days, finishing at the rim will be normal.

 

[cyfanbr]

Alright. Need to stop their little run and push lead back up to 15-17

Watson is a puppy but going to be so good for us.

Lengthy rebounder who can take it to the rim. Has a decent touch. He looks like a WVU or Baylor wing.

And generally be more patient with the ball. Lots of unforced turnovers from weird passes.

Yep. I already trusted TJ’s recruiting just from the Hoiberg era, but the guys he has brought in have been phenomenal. With next year’s class, we are set for a great future.

 

[Pope]

One of the best offenses vs one of the best defenses. As usual, defense usually wins out, although this game ain't over just yet.

That's what I like about our matchup with Iowa.

[ClonerJams]

Will enjoy this year, but having fun thinking about next year. Lipsey, Watson, Omaha, Milan - plus Ward and Grill likely will be back.
