*** Official Virginia Tech vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[Thomasrickj]

Let’s let 18 seconds run off the clock before fouling? This is Matt Campbell calling timeouts stupid.

 

[HFCS]

Not the refs losing the game for isu, terrible offense and free throws

They were horrible on block charge and let Couture get away w murder…but overall better than vs vcu I think.

Even average ft shouting makes it a game even with vt hitting these late desperate 3s.

 

[Marcelason78]

Is this ZRF's alt?

We now await his ’worst’ guy on the court evaluation….

 

[cyclonestunners]

Banish Curtis jones to the back of the bench. Precious NIL money wasted on a terrible player. Curtis jones defenders you are WRONG

I'm glad you don't make any grand proclamations based on an extremely small sample size.. .and instead attack individual players. Be better.

I have dumbed more posts tonight then my entire history on CF. Some of you have no idea how sports works.

 

[Prone2Clone]

Trapping and leaving 3-pt shooters open, missed FTs, and an offense that needs a lot of work. A losing combo tonight.

On to ATM tomorrow.

 

[jcf817]

Why do we have so many guys that drive but don’t look for the open guy (MM) on the perimeter. I hate it.

 

[CYDJ]

v tech stepped up and took the game when we gave it to them. We'll get better and need a little more set to half court that gets shooters open. We're having to create shots And that is not going to work for the shooters.

 

[madguy30]

Just a guy with eyes watching a player that has no skill or basketball IQ try to be a hero

And it's this hard to cope?

 

[OscarBerkshire]

Gilbert is good he hasn’t had a great game but he’s got grit and is actually perfect for this team. C Jones on the other hand… shouldn’t start for wartburg

 

[SportsMan9000]

Inability to make freebies killed us it’s the reason we lost, you can point to defensive rotations but if you want to get to the rim on offense you gotta convert at line

 

[jspeels]

Outscored by 18 from 3 and 3 from the line…and have missed 11 free throws…that’s not a recipe to win a game. Early season! Fundamental shooting needs attention!

 

[ClonesFTW]

He’s been awful all season and these last two games against real competition has really exposed him. Just not a high major caliber player.

He’s good on D, he just needs to take way less shots

 

[JP4CY]

Just a guy with eyes watching a player that has no skill or basketball IQ try to be a hero

You think there's no skill?

 

[xboxfever]

******* foul him Jones. Can’t even foul when they need it. Just stands there.

 

[ISU_Guy]

would be good to some how get a quality win tomorrow.
we have a lot to get figured out, but we are young, new and as bad as we played, we were still in the game at the end. As long as we can button up some things (like better offensive movement and shooting FT's) we will be fine.

I think people are just extra edgy after seeing Iowa skirt into 10 wins this year, not to mention playing well against Seton Hall now and what awaits tomorrow.

And VT better actually continue to shoot like this.

 

[fsanford]

Gilbert had a rough one at the line.
Team is still a work in progress.

 

[bizzle]

you guys realize we would have won if we had shot like 75% from the line right

 

[Goclones1727]

I love TJ’s defense, the numbers speak for itself so far. But why we trap every single team, no matter the matchup, boggles my mind. I swear we’d see less wide open looks if we just played these dudes straight up.

 

[CYDJ]

Not a 10 point game, but that's what it will be
