HeIIIse

Heise somehow already the leading scorer in NCAA tournament history. Congratulations, Nate.

 

[Jakester]

Should Heise have been starting all along?

Should have been this aggressive all along

 

[SolterraCyclone]

I’m not sure what that means. Stable? As in not getting worse? Ok.

He appears to be breathing and conscious

 

[cyatheart]

All these lipsey questions....do people even watch the game? He got two fouls early then as it turns out we don't need him, let him sit there and rest.

Clearly Otz didn’t need to start JJ this game

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Toure finding his J is the best thing ever. He looks like he's having fun again.

It's incredible how a couple of made shots can restore the confidence.

 

[Texbudman]

I don’t care about the turnovers. He and Batemon have to start playing with the intensity and aggression of sixth year seniors, right now

Toure is not playing with intensity? Are we watching the same game?

Exactly. No reason to test out his groin injury today if we don’t need to

I almost feel bad for these Tigers. Some aggression is being taken out on them.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Nate and Jamarion are starter quality guys on almost any team in the country. If JJ isn’t available, it’s not over, it just got harder

Why didn't he know Heise would go off for 20 before the game?

Fire Otz for not having ESPN or whatever it is.

I think Heise likes winning. Pretty sure he'd show up at 4 am and wax the floors of Hilton if it meant winning.

not what I was saying, I’m saying they need to keep this up the rest of the way. There may be “side effects,” but that’s the hand you’ve been dealt

We’re like a 5-6 seed without JJ. Those teams beat 7 seeds and even 3 seeds sometimes. Do they beat a Michigan, eh, not usually. But while it becomes very tough, there is no reason they cannot win 1-2 more without him. Maybe you get him back for that part of the tourney if you can get that far.

 

[cyclonez7]

We can't replace Jefferson, but we might be able to re-create him in the aggregate

 

[NATEizKING]

H3IS3 4-4 from 3

His sister must’ve FaceTimed him and called him a *****. Hopefully he’s this fired up on Sunday.

I still think back to the big bear hug Otz gave Toure in the Big 12 tournament. He seems to be a different player since then
