Clones go down

Always a pleasure to see, especially in front of that whiney crowd of fools.
If there's a world record of "the fastest an arena has cleared out" that record now resides in Ames IA
I can't figure the clones out, great athletes but not a good team effort sometimes.
A lot of one on one play and no bench.

Can't believe we lost to those scrubs.
Watching them play bothers me, they basically fly into the lane to try and draw a foul or throw up a 3, fairly terrible transition defense as well. If they aren't hitting shots or getting bailed out on foul calls, they can't beat anyone. I am not picking them to go very far in the tournament
Don't get me started on 'fastest arena clearout'. So tired of people leaving Iowa games with a few minutes to go. Doesn't matter the score.... it can be close or a blow out and people are leaving their seats in Carver.
Cant blame the refs tonight either as they were falling for it.. Fouls were 12-4 at one point
I think Prohm is a good coach. But he needs to play Burton more. That dude is a bull and gives a ton of effort. McKay and niang are in a funk. I think the traveling thing is in Niang's head.
Having said all that, West Virginia was nails at the line late. That helps on the road.

Are you saying they stormed the exits?
Burton is just a chucker with no basketball IQ.
You're right but the Cyclones got outrebounded by a margin of 43-26. Burton is at least serviceable in that department.
The refs beat the clowns again. I wonder what the RPI is for the Refs?
isu grad will be along soon enough to tell us this is the wake up call they really needed.
The Hogs are farrowing. Got to get home so they can be at the Co-op bright and early to drink coffee with their buddies. Euchre at the tap later. Frickin tough being a farmer these days with the income guarantees and all.Are you saying they stormed the exits?
No they don't. Ashton and Cooke suck. They've got nothing outside of burton.
Another reason to let the students and or general public have access to the seats that are close to the floor. Then there would be excited and energetic fans that stay until the end. "Ticket holder" can sit in row 20 plus, that way they can get to their cars quickly.
A team we heard about from the Iowa State and Des Moines media that would win the big 12 and go to the final four. Didn't even want to mention they were supposed to be a final 4 team last year and lost to uab last year as a 14 point favorite last year "which just was a fluke" they said. The last two years they have lost to higher seeds in the NCAA tourney and they will underacheive in the tourney this year too.
Uh no. Hooper was just trying to be funny (not a bad attempt) but farming is anything but easy.
Once again its the design of Carver that does that. People who sit way down there have to walk up the steps and they don't want to stand on the steps for hours. I remember a few years back vs MSU it was a tight ball game (maybe 2-3pt game) with over 2 min left and there were people walking up the stairs leaving? I couldn't believe it. A buddy and myself started walking down and sat in some empty seats.
Carver needs to be re-done or have another way out for the people in the lower half of the arena to get out.
THIS ...may be the most ridiculous excuse-making comment for bad fan behavior I've ever read.
I got an idea, let's not let the blue hairs sit down by the floor to begin with....they're the ones who can't stand for long periods of time.
And yet it is those same "blue hairs" that still donated and attended games when the program was in the dumps, while the "real fans" abandoned Iowa basketball in droves.
Yep, let's punish those blue hairs by putting them farther up the arena. That'll teach 'em!
I was thinking more of re-designing carver and having some sort of floor exit for those people. Also I think having the "concourse" all the way at the top is just bad design. Those people have to walk up the stairs to use the pisser or get popcorn. It makes no sense. I have sat all over Carver and there really isn't a "bad" seat in the arena, but there also isn't a great seat either. I just think the whole lay-out is bad. I would also wish they would put in some "suites" for people to rent. We did that at a UNI game last year and it was blast. Was able to watch a little basketball, drink a little beer and have fun.
Carver is a great concert venue, but probably one of the worst basketball venues. I see why its quiet in there, your about 100 ft back from the action and half of the time the student section isn't even full. The students are never into the game, like you see at MICH, ISU, and other major colleges.
I realize they have the tunnels that they go out, but the last time I went through there, I would rather stand on the stairs. Took way to long to get out.
Instead of all the bickering I would like a couple clone fans to share their insight on Prohms first year..
I thought it was a good game, but you can tell that WVU likes to "ugly" the game up a bit. Their pressure is tough and they do not care if they foul. Apparently they are near to top in the nation in fouls called. ISU was in the bonus at the 15min mark of the 2nd half! They sped up ISU and I think that is why ISU lost.
ISU likes to play fast, but with their short bench you could see the fatigue set in. WVU sped the game up and ISU played along with it. They would of been better to just relax and play a slow down game vs them.
WVU is tough, their big men will cause people fits. I was impressed with WVU (especially after their disaster at Florida).

UAB was the wake up call isu needed. At least that is what isu grads have been telling us.
Must be time for another one of those "player only" meetings isu is so famous for. That will fix it.
So do "suites" users add to the atmosphere, that people are always saying CHA lacks? Doubt it. Simply a way to make some money.
