Up Next: Iowa State

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

Comments like these above from teams like Iowa State used to really get under my skin. The more the years go by and the more we beat them, it gets to me less and less. They are not knowledgeable, they don't show any signs of intelligence, and instead of making me mad... more and more these comments just make me smile and laugh. Life is good here in Panther Land.

Could not agree more. Every single team we beat says the same things. It's garbage ball, we shouldn't lose to a team like that, we played our worst game of the year tonight. Its called DEFENSE friends. And it appears to work.

Also, does anyone know of any way I could watch a replay of this game? Will it be available on the Cyclones website or something, like UNI does with its games that are over? I didnt get to watch it and I live out of market so I'd love to see it.

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

Just looked at the Creighton game and they are down 12 with 2 left in the first half!

Looks like they pulled it to within 4 at the half. Every now and then I wonder what the team would look like if Doug McD hadn't followed his dad to Creighton

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

That's a classic ISU team? Look good getting off the bus and then don't want to be coached? You must be young and haven't watched ISU for more than about 6 games...

6 games watching the Clones is 5 games too long. They only play the Panthers once a year.

I'll correct my line...a classic ISU team under the last 4 coaching staffs. Close enough.

Boise State beat Drake 108-64. Ouch.

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

since mediacom let us use their feed for Panther Vision, will it be archived?

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

my favorite CF quote so far. "I try and keep thing in perspective and not get overly worked up when we lose but I don't see how we lose to Drake and UNI and beat somewhat decent teams like Providence and Rice."

I literally LOLed when I read that. That is SO PERFECT.

Hard not to wonder, isn't it.

Jake had a helluva plan working. Too bad his old buddy ef'd it up. He's recovering pretty quick though, isn't he.

Last 4 coaching staffs? I'll give you this team so far.
However, last year, we actually played very well as a team. (Same coach)
Mcdermott's teams played decently as a team, but we just sucked for 4 years.
Wayne Morgan's teams played well as a team, but just didn't play defense. He had decent success in his 3 years.
And Finally, Eustachy's teams played well enough as a team to go to the Elite 8 and win the Big 12 title in back to back seasons.

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

14-7 uni. Uni lacks the athletes to compete at this pace.

You need to learn to get past the first 5 minutes of the game before making such broad pronouncements.

It'd be cool if someone other then James/Morrison could hit a three, number 1 (sorry I dont know his name) is down for the Panthers.

Better learn his name, he didn't have a great name tonight, but is probably the best player we've ever recruited and is going to be a star for UNI.

If the semi-circle doesn't mean anything then take it back off.

In live action I thought he was in the circle for sure, but when they showed a replay you couldn't really tell because the camera wasn't low enough, but it's possible he had one foot outside the circle or at least on the line. Not sure what the rule is exactly, but I imagine you have to be completely within the circle.

-tuttle is a freakbeast who plays possessed yet with great fundamentals. i know he was an early commit and was getting a lot of looks, but how this kid did not have a mega offer list is incomprehensible.

He's from Sheffield. No matter how good a player looks in 1A ball, you can never be sure about how they'll compete in big time college bball. That's why all the big boys rarely consider a kid from a small town. I'm glad they did. He was outstanding tonight and has almost unlimited upside.

You may win some games with a bunch of guys doing their own thing and throwing up shots, but you're going to have a hard time beating a solid TEAM.

Very good analysis of what we saw tonight.

I guess I can stop worrying about UNI's post play. With Tuttle looking amazing and Pehl looking much improved and Singleton and Olivier on the way. Also great job and congrats to Player of the Game Matt Morrison

Just what I was thinking, our fretting over the post position may have been for nothing.

Wise beyond your years.

Seth Tuttle rockin' that amish beard and dropping those sweet spin moves on White et al might have just been too much for ISU fans to bear.

I freaking love being a Panther.

That pretty much says it all.

Good thread, lot's of good thoughts.

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

I have to say that I was initially frustrated with the announcers tonight. Then I though, I wish we could have a couple homers doing our games on T.V. Instead we get Brooks and Coleman who would have spent more time talking about Royce White and ISU tonight than UNI.

Coleman would have mentioned Iowa a few times as well.

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

tuttle played AAU with Uthoff and Oglesby who both had a crapload of schools recruiting them. tuttle was arguable the best player on the team. very few coaches care about high school performance anyways. it made no sense to me.

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

Part of that I think is that he committed so early. Jay Johnson (i think his name is. Jamie Johnson?) was quoted many times saying something along the lines that if he would have waited his offers would have been better

ROFLMAO. It's funny because it's true.

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

Why don't we just have Gary and Coach Boyle do the play by play for the TV games on PSN, I mean when I can say with a straight face that Gary Rima is less of a homer then those two announcers tonight, you know that it is bad.

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

i dont understand the hate here. ISU had the rights. mediacom is their major sponsor. of course they are going to have homer announcers.
