Yousef Gray is an upgraded version of Lipsey (is the hope/vision). Wiggins looks like a scorer. Apparently Mason Williams should be a good scoring lift but coming out of a knee injury is tough

It’s the Jimmies and Joes.

I can go with that. To me it's smart leadership to know your strengths and build a team around what you lack. Is he the best in-game coach? No. Has he improved? Yes.
He clearly smart enough to surround himself with coaches that make up for what he may lack. That's good coaching right there. All staffs are different.
I’d like to see him throw a chair and get double techs and get thrown out.
Because I can’t. So he has to.
if I did that I’d be in jail.
Well then, maybe tj needs to not let one of the best shooters in the country take 6 wide open 3s. It's his plan that did that.
That chair (and whatever it hit) would take the brunt of that if it happened. TJ seems to have made a VERY conscious decision early in his coaching tenure to be the "level-headed" respectful coach to officials. I get that, and even respect it, but it's hard to reconcile with how pissed off I am watching at home. I wouldn't have near the restraint he has.
And Toure may not bring much in the way of offense but he's the best backcourt defender we have. Take him out and the defense will have more problems. That's exactly why he gets the minutes he does.
24-5 with no bad losses. I’ll take it.
Today was a bad loss. Maybe not in the eyes of the tourney committee so much but you have to win that game at home. We are better than Tech.
Honest question that may not have a great answer.....do you think it's simply confidence at this point? For him and Lipsey both? I've never fully trusted Toure's outside shot, but early on it was good enough to keep people honest.
Its confidence with Toure. And even though we played some decent teams out of conference he's playing against high level defenders every game now. There is also more tape on him. People know his weaknesses. He was probably getting some easier baskets off steals and things early on when teams usually play a little sloppy. Conference games are just a different animal.
Anybody go undeated at home this year?
Duke and Miami of Ohio, anyone else?
Michigan lost to Bucky
Zona lost to Tech I think.
Kansas lost to a couple of teams.
Tech lost to Kansas.
1 loss isn't horrible, and its not like they lost to Kansas State last year.
They played poorly though no disagreement there
Most helpful perspective (for me, anyway) so far....thanks for posting that, actually.
So all but 2 teams had bad losses at home...
Well I guess ISU is in with lots of company, a couple of which are expected to make a run at a national title
I can live with it.
Does not mean I am happy with their play.
Your problem is you have no objectivity... You don't like ISU

So if it isn’t a bad loss in the eyes of the tournament committee then who cares. Tech shot out of their minds late in the shot clock, against better second half defense.
Its just frustrating. Obviously even the best teams lose these games.
