Cyclones complimented our 1/18 three-point shooting with a stellar 18/33 on free throws

Another huge wet fart of a game from the free throw line for ISU, we can't be shooting much above 50% in the last three games. Win's a win I guess.

BI NOW GAY LATER posted:lol they got away two flagrants int he first when Hogue elbowed Williams in the face, and a second when dumb rear end Morris took a shot on Paige. That's great but if your contention is that the ISU is going to win this game because of unbalanced officiating you're mentally ill.

It would be nice if Iowa State could hit free throws again. Hard to bitch much about what were probably a couple missed calls on the last two plays when you lose by one and miss eight free throws. I will bitch anyway though, that was a really really blatant push-off.

The silver lining to losing to Kansas is you know eventually they will take a warm poo poo directly on the center of the floor by the end the first tourney weekend and you will have the last laugh.

This has probably been discussed in this thread or prior editions of it ad nauseam but what are people's thoughts on the "intentional fouling to stop the clock and make the last 2:00 of gametime take 20:00 of walltime" practice that permeates college basketball? Does every fan hate it as much as me? I'm not just salty over Iowa State nearly blowing it by barely shooting 50% on FTAs again, this strategy is a cancer on college bb to me and I can't stand it in any game. ISU-KU was a fantastic viewing experience until it devolved into this and, for me anyway, turned a hugely exciting game into a boring slog. I have a hard time with the "free throw shooting is part of the game too" argument because it's a part of the game. I feel like there shouldn't be a way to force a team to make it their only scoring option for minutes at a time with no penalty or risk beyond that of normal fouling.

OctoberBlues posted:I generally agree, and also dislike the new practice of fouling late when up 3. Agree, that's total BS. Seems like a rules loophole although as someone said above, closing it is tricky. These type of fouls are easy to identify and I'm sure some fairly non-subjective definition could be settled on, but how to reward the foul'd team is what I'm struggling with. Giving them three shots is obviously too strong. There's also a risk in making it essentially impossible for the trailing team to slow the game down at all. OctoberBlues posted:edit: I was wrong, there were five timeouts called in the last loving 17 seconds of the game. Seriously. This is also ridic, I really don't see why so many are allowed. Combine this with all the various stoppages in play that act as mini-timeouts and there are literally dozens throughout the game. I also get annoyed when the visiting team calls timeout and the home crowd goes ape-poo poo about it. Maybe I'm just a grumpy fan in general.

Big 12 refs seem to have adopted the standard that stumbling after being shoved by a defender is a travel this year.

OctoberBlues posted:Every time I have seen Oklahoma this season they have looked lovely - are we sure they are actually a good basketball team? They absolutely demolished Texas on the road a couple weeks ago. Not sure if they have any other impressive wins. Although I'm not 100% convinced Texas is for real yet. By "real" I mean "will contend for a conf. champ. and a deep tourney run", they're clearly a Top 25 team.

Not a terrible first half (Iowa State). K State hit like four or five contested 18-foot jumpers which I guess you typically have to live with. Man they are hitting some tough shots. That 6'7" 260-lb guy (forget his name) is a beast. Ross fucked around with this message at 02:16 on Jan 21, 2015 |

Could just be that the angle's not great, but that doesn't look like an obvious goaltend at all to me.

Jastiger posted:Its like Iowa State looks GOOD when they play well, btu when they don't they look like poo poo. So schizophrenic they are. Last year's team was sort of like this too, but they didn't have these extended runs of being completely inept in all aspects of basketball offense. Texas Tech is maybe the worst team in the league, but they shot uncharacteristically well (I won't disrespect the effort and call it luck, but it is uncharacteristic), it's a strong league and it's a road game and the final score ended up being close. Not sure if the sky is falling yet. All of ISU's losses this year have been like this (play like complete poo poo for most of the game, somehow lose by a reasonably close score in the end) which I guess is better than just getting steamrolled. Last year was our chance to win it all I think, the team had probably a little more overall talent (Ejim and Kane were really good) and without Niang's foot injury I think they had a serious chance, especially since there was no juggernaut Kentucky team that's going to push your poo poo in if they play a good game no matter who the opponent is.

Jastiger posted:What the gently caress is this magic 3 point thing with Texas. They've made like 6 straight or some poo poo. They made 10/14 threes in the second half  Normally I dislike it when people attribute such things to luck (numerous teams have shot well from 3 against ISU lately which is more indicative of poor D than luck in my opinion), but most college players couldn't make 10/14 threes in an open gym. Ungratek posted:how the gently caress does ISU have such a big basketball fan base here There's only like two or three longtime fans to my knowledge. They're a fun team to watch and got some good pub last year so I think more people are aware of us now. Ross fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Jan 27, 2015 |
