@(#23) Iowa St., Sun., Dec. 4, 3p, ESPN-2

[MJDinkins]

So I guess every poster who picked St. John's to win, should never be allowed to make fun of a Johnny Rapper post for the remainder of the season.

Get real.

 

[Roamer]

Lost to a better experienced team, have to just move on. The TV announcer must have gotten robbed in NYC once as he legit sounded like we had no business being on the court.

Eh, could be worse. 11 point loss on the road against a ranked team isn't The End Of The World. Be encouraged they at least battled in the 2h and didn't get embarrassed like it looked in 1h.

Sometimes the game is closer then the final score, sometimes it's the opposite. Today was the opposite.

 

[Knight]

There was a lot of selfish play today. The score does not indicate the asswhooping.

 

[Johnny Rapper]

Is anyone really surprised?????? How can you call yourself a hoops fan, watch this team for the past 8 games and believe they had a chance against a WELL COACHED DISCIPLINED Team?. I was called out when I pointed out deficiencies in this team only to be accused of all sorts of crap. Well reality hurts, this poorly coached, all one on one team was never in this game against an IS team with far less talent was exposed today.

 

[espken]

We got beat by a better team at our own game. Move on and win a rock fight against DePaul.

 

[NCJohnnie]

We were never in this game and I won't be surprised if Iowa State loses to Iowa this week. So not a lot of good things to say. Take it out on Depaul next game.

Not surprised at all

I hope on Wednesday something changes

Meanwhile, fwiw, we outscored them for the last 35 minutes of the game by 1.

 

[Knight]

Posh almost with a double-double- 14 points and 8 turnovers.

 

[19854ever]

Awful loss…..against a very good team. This is on the coach:
1. Where was our press defense in the 2nd half down double digits the press d is our bread and butter.
2. Why play a 2-3 zone? No man to man against grill and other good players.
3. Didn’t defend 3
4. Can someone box out outside Soriano .
5. Where the hell was our revered transfer Mr.Jones?
6. Lost all the hustle plays.. great point by other poster on here.

 

[rcatalano]

very difficult to win when you shoot in the 30’s and have 20 turnovers!

 

[JohnnyFan]

As a rule, you're never as good as your best win or as bad as your worst lost.

This was ugly, but I am far from the ledge

 

[Johnny Rapper]

Meanwhile, fwiw, we outscored them for the last 35 minutes of the game by 1.

When a team is up by 17, they let down on the intensity but the Johnnies never got it under 10.

 

[Alex9045]

Again, humbling experience. We'll be ok. The only real concern is the slow starts to games. This has been a trend all season, that needs to be addressed.

 

[Mean Gene]

We didn’t today

 

[rcatalano]

Cut those turnovers in half and it’s anybody,s game!

 

[Johnny Rapper]

In terms of Jones. Last year Jones scored more cause more was set up for him. In Anderson’s system, it’s all one in one in the half court so not as easy to score.

Bravo. You were correct for this game. Feel better now?

Got it to 9 points a couple of times.
