Amazing that in a game of two Top 25 teams who are good, but not great at defense...first one to 45 wins.

These are 2 really, really good defensive teams. ISU is 6th in adjusted D.

You'd never know Texas actually ended up leading in the first half based on this thread.

These are two of the best defensive teams in the country, who both are challenged when trying to score. It's like many of you expected something different than this.

Iowa State gives up 75 points a game on the road in conference. 

[ztejas 43,524]

Carr has the highest ceiling of anyone on the team. He just needs to bring it more often and earlier in games.

Idk wtf is going on with Tre. Beard is forced to play him because of his size and scoring ability in the post but dear God his turnovers are off the charts.

If you didn't see a bunch of shit offensive possessions by Texas in the first half, you need to share whatever it is you are smoking...

We've struggled to score all season.  There's a cumulative effect to the frustration.

Texas last played on Tuesday, so they've had enough time to work on their struggling offense -- YEAH I agree with TexArcher about cumulative effect of FRUSTRATION with this SHITTY Texas offense

😋

[Gut Wagon 8,084]

I can live with a low-scoring game, given that we don't have any guys who can consistently free themselves up for decent shots. But I expect junior high girls to make FTs, so you can bet I expect a ranked college men's team to do so.

I've seen shit offensive possessions all year long. Haven't you? 

At some point I learn to accept it as part of the deal. I just want to win the fucking game. Right now we're up by 2 at half, while shooting 2-6 from the free throw line. We only have 7 turnovers, compared to the shit show in taking care of the ball in Ames. Iowa State is shooting 32% overall from the field, and 14% from the 3 point line.

I'm very happy where we are right now. And it starts with the score board.

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,780]

I’ve been thumbing thru the principles of college basketball handbook … can’t find anything that even suggests a team that plays good defense must be shitty on offense.  🤔

[jimmyjazz 46,001]

Brockington gets major credit for that turnaround 3, also.  He's not gonna hit many of those in that situation.

I don't know why anyone is surprised at a game in the 20's for each team.

[dcar00 14,318]

stop Brockington and get on the glass.

But if a team plays shitty offense all year long, is it shocking they play shitty offense the next time out? Especially when going against one of the best defensive teams in the country?

[dcar00 14,318]

Carr needs to own this game from here on out.

[Dr. Teeth 5,845]

A confident Carr is very good. He just needs to shoot in stride.

Because the offense was fine before Tuesday and we're just bitching about a couple of games?  We've been mediocre to bad on offense for three months.  The people who are frustrated by that aren't wrong.

[D3zii 3,708]

I’ll never understand why we don’t push it more in transition. . At the very least do it to collapse the Defense. .

Not wrong, but unrealistic in terms of expectations. It's not like it's going to suddenly change. We'll see flashes, and that's about the best we're going to get.

What’s shocking is they’ve not improved .. maybe even regressed.

Seriously not even joking anymore wtf does Bishop keep dropping the damn ball

Yeah, I don't expect it to magically get better.  This is who we are.  But it's still frustrating.

Like a hot chick who's not very good in bed.  Is she likely to suddenly start fucking like a pro?  No, but it's still annoying to see all that potential just laying there.  Our offense is a hot chick who can't fuck.

[dcar00 14,318]

good ball movement the last 3 possessions.

[SDG 3,319]

AJ1!!

[Dr. Teeth 5,845]

The frustration is that we have scorers. A lot of them. Keep shooting the damn ball. 

[SL Xpress 7,517]

Regressed from what? TCU is about the only game I've watched where they had a decent offensive game from whistle to whistle. Outside of that it's at best been inconsistently good, but mostly it's just been consistently poke your eyes out bad.

And now we're seeing some of the inconsistently good coming out of the half.

Am I wrong but seems like there is a lot of traveling on both teams not being called?

My problem is that as a basketball fan I need a slump buster. If this fat chick can get me a first round tournament win, I'll put a bag over her head and have the best nut I've had in a long time.

Definitely bad ball handling that is either double dribble or traveling. Just awkwardness. Especially with both sets of bigs.

Oh, yah better not expect it to continue much longer today though according to some posters...

Fuck that attitude -- I expect this team to keep getting better and improve on offense !!!

 

[OB3 3,629]

Why do they still do media timeouts after a coach calls a timeout? Slows the game down

And then when it doesn't you get pissed. 

At some point it's not the team's fault for not meeting your expectations. It's your fault for having unrealistic expectations.

All I care about is winning the game. I don't give a shit how it looks at this point. They're doing fine in that regard. They're not turning the ball over. ISU is.

Texas is also now shooting 6-13 from 3. I do not expect that to continue.

See, we know Lowell isn't going to magically become good at broadcasting, but it's still frustrating to sit through it.  Lowell is our offense with a microphone.

Well, yeah. Galindo is a ball ache.

But there's no redeeming qualities for Galindo. There are redeeming qualities about this team. It's not that hard to focus on them, to be honest. But so many posters ONLY want to focus on what they hate about this team. Game after game. I wouldn't watch if I was as miserable watching this team as y'all seem to be.
