Exactly correct.
100% agree. But the poster said that they got insanely hot from 3 as the reason we lost. Not even close. We lost because of turnovers and rebounding.
We got an average game from Cinci and almost lost by double digits.
If everyone wants to see how an actually good team is on the road, look at what Arizona is doing at UCF.
Arizona walked into UCF and punched UCF in the mouth, that’s what good teams do, unlike us because we are not a good team
We have the right defense in place in terms of scheme. Sure there are situations that have been a problem. Its these long stretches on offense without a basket. We need a PG who can take the ball to the ******* rack with authority. We have one. Let him do it. And it's not Lipsey

I noticed at the Oklahoma State game that there was quite a bit of hero ball trying to make SC plays. Got away with that at home. Basically, I think the team might have lost a little focus of what got them to where they are.
We do well against the teams like Baylor because their players feel like they can take it to us on their own. The problem is when teams know they just have to pass the ball around to get a good shot, no matter who takes it.
Punch a team in the mouth... and then keep the foot on their throat. This team has no killer instinct at all... non existent.
Toure was the only one early on in the season that showed any kind of dog in them... with the flexing and stuff... loved it! But he's probably been told not to do that anymore.
Anyone think our traps and double teams are forcing us to br out of position on rebounds?
Think we need to run more offense through Milan. Post him off, off ball screens everywhere. Just have to have him touch it every single time down
Yes. And coupled with a lot of weird bounces that went right to a Cinci player, it hurt us big time. Made us get two-three stops instead of one.
Serious question. Why do you INSIST on beating your negative drum EVERY time you get a chance. Who do you even cheer for? Serious question, because it definitely doesn't seem like the Cyclones.
The last two teams have been long and athletic. That gives them the opportunity to pass over the double teams and affect our offense in the paint. You can beat those teams early in the season, when they aren’t prepared, and out of conference when not familiar. These are the lean times.
