ISU showing what happens when you live by the 3

ISU was never a top 10 team

The game thread on CF is absurd. They don't think Hogue fouled Ridley a minute ago when he was all over him.

I hope the loss to isu doesn't end up as a bad loss. The wheels are falling off the clones.

17 turnovers for the clowns and only 8 for Texas. Texas only had 2 turnovers in the second half.

You don't get to whine about refs when you have 17 turnovers.

But..but...but...the refs suck!!!!

I was thinking same thing.

Hilton Magic should help them along to win enough to make the tourney, lose to a B1G team in the 2nd round, that sort of thing.. the same type of season as the last 2 years. This could continue to be our worst loss, but not technically a "bad loss".

Ummmmm, sure you can. Every one of those turnovers was a FOUL!!!!

ISU is a good team, not a great team like the media was making them out to be. Their two good out of conference wins both came at home. Their road when at BYU now does not look as impressive because this is not the same BYU as it was a few years ago. Whats happening to ISU is that they are finding out its hard to win on the road in any conference and the B12 is a really good league. They are small up front so they are susceptible to get beat on the glass. Its shown vs teams like Iowa, Oklahoma, and Kansas.

It's all good. They still have dreamy Fred and his Rolodex.

a "Bad loss" is losing to a weak team, or losing to a team you should beat at home. (see Iowa-Campbell 2011) Unless the Clones go under .500 the rest of the way (which would fill my black heart with joy) losing to them in Hilton is no shame.

 

[HawksMN]

Clones wont drop another home game and they will do good enough to get in. So that eliminates the thought of a bad loss. They will drop some road games yet though.

I have a feeling were going to see a Kane meltdown coming up in the next few games. That guy ******* at the refs more than Dwyane Wade. Plus when things aren't going well, he's started just putting his head down and throwing up a shot. He's also been a turnover machine in conference play.

Wow, I just read the game thread. Should be titled ***OFFICAL B!TCH ABOUT THE REFS NON STOP GAME THREAD***

We do have some of those ourselves, but man they take it to a whole nother level.

You didn't need a thread, just to follow miller on twitter for the first 1/2 of the season.

 

[hawkdrummer1]

Rough week to be a clone, eh Bryce?

I didn't realize the stretch Iowa State's in right now. They might find themselves out of the rankings in a couple of weeks.

I said it before the Baylor game and several times since. I predict Iowa State goes 3-5 in the 8 game stretch starting with Baylor.

They should then win their next 6 before losing 2 out of 3 to end the season...by best guess. That's 11-7. Their seed will likely be determined by the conference tournament.
