OFFICIAL ISU game thread

[TulsaRising1]

Not a good start

 

[cmullinsTU]

Very sloppy on offense.

 

[URedskin54]

We play our not best players way too much way too early

 

[TulsaRising1]

We are going to get beat by 30, hopefully our new AD can get us a good basketball coach.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

I'll join this thread. We're hanging in there, but just not playing well. I'm old enough to remember how much I hated playing @ ISU when we were in the Valley.

 

[URedskin54]

Zero starters in the game

 

[AllgoldEv]

Zero starters in the game

That's a good coaching plan.

 

[Gold*]

Zellllllttttoooooonnnn!!!!

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Pretty clear...
Scott cannot play.
Henderson is bad.
Wheeler is bad.

Joiner is great!

Haith can't coach. He has NO CLUE who to play and who to guard Evans.

 

[nevadanatural]

We need an *official* thread. I’m really confused here.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Nevada mentioned Stead in the other thread. The ISU announcers on ESPN3 said these are MVC refs. I didn't realize Stead is a MVC ref.

 

[Loca5174]

ISU isn’t running away with it but we are still playing like doo doo

 

[Tulsafanzz]

We need an *official* thread. I’m really confused here.

My bad Nevada, this will be the official thread

 

[TulsaRising1]

We need an *official* thread. I’m really confused here.

I fixed it

 

[TulsaFan01]

36-32 ISU. Nice finish to the half.

 

[TulsaRising1]

Nice 3 by Henderson to end the half, hopefully we come out and end this nightmare against the red birds

 

[Tulsafanzz]

As ugly as that half was, Henderson's 3 makes it 36-32. We need to cut out the turnovers & we still have a chance.

 

[tupatsfan]

Original Tulsa fan needs to go play in traffic.

 

[t-townpod]

Just not very good right now. I just wished the players would understand their roles.

 

[URedskin54]

Really lucky to only be down 4. Their starters are better than our backups, so hopefully we play our best players in the second half

 

[Loca5174]

I believe the first 3 minutes of the second half will set the tone for the rest of the game. If we come out flat they could explode on us.

 

[nevadanatural]

Better than last time, only 4 down at half. Turnovers the difference. 14 turnovers has lead to 18 points. We’re actually out rebounding them by 7.

 

[ctt8410]

24 of 30 shots from Yarbrough/Evans/Fayne. They're a 3-man team.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Rebounding has really improved the last two games. Defense the 1st half was fine too. Very sloppy against the aggressive zone.

 

[nevadanatural]

Those turnovers allowed them to take 9 more shots than us.

 

[t-townpod]

24 of 30 shots from Yarbrough/Evans/Fayne. They're a 3-man team.

The players for ISU know their roles..

 

[Loca5174]

Tulsa. ISU

FG. 52% 47%
FT. 7-11 5-7
Reb. 18 11
Turn. 14 6

 

[Loca5174]

ISU is in 9th place in The Valley. Not good

 

[Gold*]

Pretty clear...
Scott cannot play.
Henderson is bad.
Wheeler is bad.

Joiner is great!

Haith can't coach. He has NO CLUE who to play and who to guard Evans.

Everybody join in now:

BUT YOU’RE A DICK!!!!!1

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Cut the turnovers in half and kick their a$$.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

We have no one to match up with Yarbrough...hopefully he doesn’t get to 30.

 

[t-townpod]

Announcers make such a good point about our inside defense

 

[t-townpod]

Wish I knew why we are trying to pound inside agaist the zone when we have the 3 ballers

 

[nevadanatural]

These turnovers make me want to scream.

 

[TulsaRising1]

What's even worse than our performance is this golden state commercial

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

ISU, oddly enough, seems to have quicker and more aggressive players. They don’t play tentative.

Just isn’t a good matchup for TU from a personnel or coaching standpoint.

Hopefully, we’ll find a spark within the final 15 min.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Scott sucks!

 

[TU_BLA]

Henderson needs to be off the court nd not come back on today. He can’t hit the water from the boat and his defense is not good enough to where he can even contribute on the end of the floor.

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Tulsa has no identity. None.
That does not help matters.

ISU is a bottom 3 team in the AAC.

Where does that place Tulsa?

 

[URedskin54]

Getting hammered every time we take a shot inside. No calls
