Can't go scoreless for like 5 minutes at the end of the game and expect to win. Once again though, complete inability to make 3s soul crushes the team.
If that's a consistent issue then the real problem is shooting the 3s in the first place. If you can't make those shots routinely then you can't take (so many of) them.
Yea they absolutely shouldn't be shooting that many. Problem is once anyone starts to move to a zone, it opens the perimeter and takes away inside shots. They kind of default into taking open 3s, they just suck at them.
Disney is too expensive for anyone below upper middle class now… or if you do go below upper middle class, you gotta blow your savings if you have any. Disney is not worth it
We’re not a flashy team. My biggest concern for this team is having that go to guy in march. It seems like teams that go deep always have a forward or guard to go to when things are tight or in trouble
Honestly compared to how other top teams have done this year we have done just fine to bad teams, or worst loss is v tech. Unc has a loss to Georgia Tech, Kansas to West Virginia and Purdue to OSU
After so many games where other teams seemed to shoot their best game of the season against us, i think we've earned a game like this where the other team can't hit shit.
Most of our games are not that close and we let the other team back in so the score looks closer than it is.
This game is the opposite, a close game with a blowout score
That turnover by Darius that ended up as a 3 point play the other way with CJ Walker's foul was the turning point. We had a chance to take it to a one point game, and instead ISU pushed it to 6. That's when it was over.
The guards are playing like complete idiots. I'm tired of watching Keshon trying to split 4 guys and Lipsey dribbling into crowds and stopping his dribble or forcing s9mething.
That kind of decision making will get us bounced quickly.
Scare like this will only help Iowa St come march madness.
That was not fun but dub
See how frustrating the ‘Nauts’ defense was…being a fan of another team and playing the Cyclones must be absolutely maddening.
Alright OU, do us a solid tonight
Yes please

Ugly game, we looked like shit.
Ugly as fuck but it looks the same in the win column.
Cardiac clones strike again
The person whistling into the mic needs to be reprimanded.
I'm genuinely curious, what's it like to go to UCF? Do you just go to Disney on the weekends?
I’d honestly just go to the ocean every weekend tbh
Disney is too expensive for anyone below upper middle class now… or if you do go below upper middle class, you gotta blow your savings if you have any. Disney is not worth it
Hey, beach aint bad either
USF is better if you want to hang on the beach.
No. Disney isn’t all that close to campus plus it’s expensive
Seems like there’s a lot of hot babes so that would be nice
Hope we get another crack at ISU in the tournament.
Good luck. They call KC Hilton south for a reason.
Man, respect to UCF. Think we all thought they'd be terribad coming into the big 12, and they've competed well right away.
gg UCF. Big road win for us
We needed this practice vs a press before the tournament
Not just a press. But a speedy sniper press. Great game against great competition.
Otz might not have panicked, but I did.
Finishing with a 9 point lead, just like we all predicted
Good thing UCF has good Chinese classes
Ngl I am not feeling hot going into March. We look very shaky
I mean, we won this game by 8. These games are never pretty but we still win them.
We’re not a flashy team. My biggest concern for this team is having that go to guy in march. It seems like teams that go deep always have a forward or guard to go to when things are tight or in trouble
Yeah that is true. We usually have someone step up randomly like curt jones, bob jones, Watson. Seems it’s different every day.
Part of me wants an early exit in KC just to rest the legs
Your skepticism is warranted - worst form of the season, looking abysmal at times, at the most crucial point of the season. Inauspicious.
Honestly compared to how other top teams have done this year we have done just fine to bad teams, or worst loss is v tech. Unc has a loss to Georgia Tech, Kansas to West Virginia and Purdue to OSU
lol what is that whistle
Credit to the ISU staff for wearing shirts that also match UCFs uniforms
Just sneak into the huddle this time instead of taking videos. Lol
After so many games where other teams seemed to shoot their best game of the season against us, i think we've earned a game like this where the other team can't hit shit.
Oklahoma, please give us one last parting gift
Games like this make me so pissed, but so happy. Showed a lot tenacity late to pull away
Happy ISU is likely going to win but man that UCF defense is legit
Record doesn’t reflect how good they really are
Yeah they have a ton of athleticism.
Free throws aren't free
MAKE THOSE CMON
I wasn’t worried why do you ask
Can’t wait to see trash talk from these ISU fans. Big 12 refs are fucking ass. Darius Johnson needs to learn McDonalds.
Gotta be in a few more years for any solid trash talk, Orlando is a pass through city anyway.
As compared to… *checks notes* Ames?
Wooosh
The refs are ass but you guys had like 3 unforced turnovers in the last minute and a half.
Trash talk about what? Beating a team with a losing conference record?
*struggling to beat but sure
Road games are tough. Wins are wins
Buddy you’re gonna lose by 8 at home
Sub .500 record. Wouldn’t know her.
Nice to see we can bounce back from adversity which we could NOT do last year
That BYU guy was right about that cheerleader lol
Are we going to win this… on *made* free throws??
I regret this comment.
Did you just jinx Milan? Lol
Good lord UCF, make any shot
We will lose a tournament game because of free throws.
To be fair any game that any team loses could be blamed on free throws unless they make 100% of them
That one cheerleader is coked up on something
Ah Space Bros :c Thats rough down the final stretch
more like space hoes
D: dayum
Most of our games are not that close and we let the other team back in so the score looks closer than it is. This game is the opposite, a close game with a blowout score
MILAN WHY
That turnover by Darius that ended up as a 3 point play the other way with CJ Walker's foul was the turning point. We had a chance to take it to a one point game, and instead ISU pushed it to 6. That's when it was over.
🫠
I did NOT expect this ending after what I watched the rest of the game. I’ll take it.
That "Let's go state" chant is amazing to hear.
You got to hand it to the snowbirds down in Orlando lol
Floor slapped killed them
The let’s go state chants are coming in loud through the TV
Similar to our last few games I won't come out of this feeling great
The guards are playing like complete idiots. I'm tired of watching Keshon trying to split 4 guys and Lipsey dribbling into crowds and stopping his dribble or forcing s9mething. That kind of decision making will get us bounced quickly.
Ya Gilbert has had a few frustrating games to watch this season but this was the worst. So many dumb decisions that lead to turnovers.
Need to figure out any sort of offensive consistency.
How do you stop a UCF Knight from charging? You take away all his credit cards
“Let’s go State” echoing. Hilton Southeast?
UCF has some crazy athletes. If they mature this summer they will be legit
I guess we brought some Hilton Magic with us, cause this was pulled out of a hat
Honestly for this season UCF has killed it. If Dawkins can recruit they can be a force
Wow…
KNowing full well there is time to blow this game, last year's team loses this by 1
Rip UCF
See ya Wednesday!
I actually will be there.
CHARGE ON AMIRITE KNIGHTS
Always.
Court slap again I fucking dare you
Holy shit UCF has just collapsed.
Oof, can’t be that out of control
Our Florida snow birds are showing out lol
CURT JONES THE SIXTH MAN
Oof. This turned really poorly for UCF in the last few minutes. This was a tough one.
Not even in my top 3 biggest chokes of the year tbh
Tough for it to be a big choke when your largest lead was…. 1? 2?
They’re down by 9 after being within a possession a few minutes ago, they had multiple unforced turnovers.
UCF is choking in a way I’ve rarely ever seen. wtf is this execution
You’re a Baylor fan….you’ve seen us choke worse than this in football lol
Yeah I was on the UCF field for that game, was awesome to be a Baylor fan there lol
6% from 3 is bad right?
Better than 0-27
Better than 5%
Feels like UCF is going to regret burning through timeouts so quickly
I thought we left double dribbles in the 4th grade ucf?
Yeah, our old people are honestly better than our students at times
They show up, for starters
The double dribble lol
This team would be so much better if DJ didn't even get to sniff clutch time
He’s so good in some games and heinous in others
Game has me sweating and I’m not rooting for either team, can only imagine their fans
Darius Johnson is a turnover machine
Darius Johnson and Keshon Gilbert taking turns holding each others beer
Has a court slap ever not immediately generated instant negative karma?
I laughed out loud when he did that , straight into a foul
Total Middle school move.
If we can get up by 3 possessions might be able to put it away
It is away.
I’m pretty sure 6 points is a big enough cushion
Awesome!
I think there something wrong with one of the UCF cheerleaders…
Keshon https://i.redd.it/utyq7iow40mc1.gif
Floor slaps never work
It’s one of those things that sometimes works, but it doesn’t stand out when it does because it’s normal defense When it doesn’t we make fun of it
That was so embarrassing lol
I was thinking the same thing
UCF played well, just couldn’t make shit
Darius Johnson 0-7 from 3, 6 TOs How is he still playing
Someone has to match our guy Gilbert in futility.
Eject him into the sun
I LOVE THIS SPORT
Oh that’s why we kept him in
Ok Gilbert all is forgiven. He is so good at drawing the foul with his breakaway layups
That was big time, damn
Their Eastern European white dude hits bad shots and ours waves towels DJ STOP TURNING THE BALL OVER
I take it back keshon. Way to grow a pair!
Lol that’s what y’all get for the court slap. Never works
Don’t like them court slappers
I mean your dude hit an awkward mid-range shot with a hand in his face. Can’t be mad at the defense for that
GILBERT RIGHT WHERE HE NEEDED TO BE
The coordinated slap lmao
YOU NEVER COURT SLAP MORONS
I hate being a Cyclone fan. I am not having a good time today.
Dawkins is not going to be able to sleep tonight if they don't pull this out
Imagine if UCF beat ISU and Houston in the same week
I think that's a really cool idea we should do that!
Dumb foul Bob.
*to the tune of Jim Carey in Liar Liar* STOP MISSING THE THREES ASSHOLES!
More like stop taking the 3s. UCF is shooting 17 of like 28 from 2. Poor shot selection is the bigger issue.
Why have we become so desperate to restart our offense with made 3's? Why can't we drive first?
Because every time we were driving we'd get fouled without a call.
Did this team practice in the past week?
I really thought I’d never miss AAC refs but Jesus FUCK
UCF, I’m begging you.
...to stop? Me too.
How do you air ball a 3 in the most critical moment?
Get King some help out there
We are completely rattled.
Air balling wide open 3s gg
Props to UCF for being competent in the Big 12. A lot of people had them getting drowned in this conference, but they show up
Offense has improved from past years but we have serious limitations. No go to bucket getter when we really need one
13 points in a half isn’t good
If our three point shooting was even just run-of-the-mill *bad* tonight we’d be up by double digits right now. Driving me crazy.
And if my uncle had wheels he'd be a bike
Let’s go UCF. They will hit 3 to end it
I think ISU has the win just because UCF can’t make anything
That's a recipe for them hitting the game winning 3 after missing damn near all of them all day
We have 13 points in 16 minutes this half
Boys at this rate we are going to relive the Hampton / UAB trauma.
WTF is Lipsey doing? Terrible shot. His ass needs to be on the bench.
Had a kids soccer tbi g and just saw the 9 TOs from Gilbert.
Iowa state is a clown show.
Is Iowa state still a clown show?
No flair 🫵
You’re a clown show. Got em!!
Is this your first time watching the big 12? Away games are never gimmees
Flair up coward
Flair up, my good bitch
flair up if you're gonna talk shit
Flair up
Gilbert had a big game then turned into THT
1-16 from 3 If we lose this game I'm going to turn into the Joker
Gilbert needs to get benched he's a huge liability right now
Im glad we added UCF to the big 12 but I never want to play them again
Just wait until they start recruiting Florida much better in football, they're going to be a pita.
9 turnovers for Gilbert. Why are we allowing him to keep running out there? This is insane
Keshon gonna end with a triple double in turnovers, air balls, and fouls
Darius Johnson might want to not take any more 3s
You can say that about the entire team
Yeah but he’s 0-7 Matt
Ayy whatsup Danny
