What is wrong with the basketball team?

[ClonerJams]

Just polling everyone's opinion

Crazy-hot shooting performance against the one good team we've beaten.

 

[CoachHines3]

I just think we’re finally coming back down to the mean.

 

[Darius Bieber]

Nothing wrong. We’re just an average team which was overhyped with one Purdue win.

That’s mean

 

[GoSTATE71]

No killer instincts, no leadership, we’re extremely easy to game plan for defensively and offensively. TJ refuses to make any adjustments to the above. If I have to watch Jefferson dribble into traffic and lose the ball one more time I’m gonna lose it lol

 

[Drew0311]

Whomis jake Brent and how would he curse us?

 

[deadeyededric]

We can't rely on an injured PG when his backup is arguably better. Tamin can play off ball.

The fears people had before the season were likely just accurate. Not enough depth and not a good bench. Not enough shot creaters, and not enough athleticism.

Not enough good offensive players. Lipsey and Toure are limited offensively and can be easily shut down by athletic guards. We also don’t have any true big man who has good post moves.

5 bench points today is very worrisome. It’s forcing us to play guys an exuberant amount of minutes and get nagging injuries.

In desperate need of a PG who can take the ball to the basket fearlessly.

Opponent not turning the ball over. ISU turning it over.

Pretty much summarize things

ISU needs to put up 62-64 shots a game, today it was 51! Yes 51

Probably a combo of lack.of adjustments by players and coaches

 

[Clone95]

Batemon needs to have the green light. He attempted one 3 today and even though he missed it was one of our only offensive rebounds. We’re not rebounding those missed post shots.

Let Toure play PG and let him slash. Tamin can play 2 and let him play on the perimeter more. I said Tamin's inability to go to the hoop was an issue a month ago and everyone flipped out on me.

 

[Raiders70]

Give Royce White a call. The way things are now he still should have some college eligibility left.

 

[Darius Bieber]

Batemon needs to have the green light. He attempted one 3 today and even though he missed it was one of our only offensive rebounds. We’re not rebounding those missed post shots.

I think he would have gotten more opportunities if he didn’t get a rolled ankle early on today

 

[Des Moines Clone]

I jokingly voted for "Jake Brend cursed us", but I think it was more that we had a bad week.

 

[deadeyededric]

Its our entire offensive scheme imo. Can't rely on jump shooters all the time. Guys need to be able to attack the basket and at the very least draw fouls. And find a way to get Jefferson the ball where he doesn't have to dribble more than 3-4 times. Hit him cutting to the basket 15 ft. out.

 

[cyatheart]

It's not hard. Isu is really really predictable on both ends. It's an easy scout because we are really vanilla offensively with a couple Spain sets. Defensively we do the same stuff every time. Tj even admitted this on an interview this week.
