****Cyclones @ Hawks Game Thread****

Refs have been fine. Our defense has not however. Joe T is the only guy we have that can stay in front of anyone on their team and he’s played 4 minutes.

Hawks still going to win. Not worried. Would be nice if the D wasnt so bad tho

They're not going to sniff a conference championship with D like this, though. Yes, Iowa State is playing out of their ass right now, but every team Iowa goes against is going to play hard against Iowa.
 
Solomon Young is playing better than expected.
Condit is a bitch, but we knew that.

Nunge playing great.
 
Jordan is doing nothing and then we fire up the first open three we get
Every team we play has 4 guys swarm to the block when Iowa tries to drive the lane, and we may kick it out, but then it becomes a game to game thing of whether or not we hit those 3s consistently.

But the fact remains, EVERY F***ING TEAM WE PLAY does not allow Iowa to easily get to the rim......no matter what.

I have no idea why that is, either, that every team Iowa plays sells out so hard when one Iowa player tries to drive to the basket.

I don't see it much anywhere else in college basketball.

F***ing baffling.
 
Coaching Issues:

1) You absolutely do not sit your All American with 2 fouls for over 10 minutes.

2) JBO cannot play defense and when he is not shooting well he basically is a waste of space . Take him out and keep him out.

I believe he has 2 fouls, so he gets to sit. Fvcking dumb.
 
I just REALLY hate the 2 fouls = bench.

You sit Garza since what? The 12 minute mark?
Sitting him to hopefully get a full 2nd half.... But you GUARANTEE that he misses 12mins in the first half. Watch he'll have 1 more foul the rest of the game.

To quote KF.... "You can't take em home with you"
