There we go. That's how we're gonna have to win this. Mayer needs to take over.

A 25 point lead to a 2 point deficit is a monumental ****ing collapse. Especially from a team as bad on offense as ISU has been (both points and shooting %).

ah yes iowa state crawled back let's let flo thamba CATCH the ball while he's running at the basket. yes yes that's the call.

Most of them wide open.

Man what a meltdown, ISU is not a good offensive team. We struggled mightily defending them in Ames as well
whitetrash

Our first 29 points: they scored 4

Our next 29 points: they scored 56

29-4 and now we're trailing. Amazing.
IowaBear

Theme all year for this team. They thought they had it won when it was 29-4 now we're going to be lucky to get a W. Just a terrible 2nd half at home when all the marbles were on the line
Self Made Bear

Time to reach down, Bears. This is a gritty team and they can do it.

Coach Torso for ISU dialing up some stuff on us.

What theme?

Letting huge leads evaporate
Johnny Bear

Time for guys like Akinjo and Mayer to step up if we want a co-championship

Getting that 34-31 vs ou in football 2019 vibe.

free throws and finishing around the rim...just not clicking today.
DanaDane

We have 2 guys under the basket, Iowa St one. Neither of our guys block out and Iowa St gets the easy board and gets fouled. That's how you lose leads.

56% from the charity stripe is a killer...

This team has no on court leader to get things right. JTT would have developed into one this year. All games we win or lose from here on out will probably be close.

Chick ref is killing us. I wonder if she is retaining water.
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We were up 25…. You can make all the claims about runs you want. We should have had this in the bag. Elite teams don't give up 25 point leads at home to teams who are this offensively challenged. Call it what it is. A bed crapping. And we may still win of course but regardless we crapped our pants

Helluva defensive play and block by KB!!!!!!!
Jacques Strap

maybe the KB block will kickstart things

KB showing why he's a 1st rounder
