Yep they need a PG. But looks like they haven’t even bothered to prepare for our D. As if their athletic talent will carry them through.

Absolutely about Dom Nelson
Toure and Milan fighting for that rebound may be the turning point. We were still down 7, then MM drills a 3. Clutch.
ISU will have no trouble winning this. Kentucky hitting a few shots was their best punch. I'm not really sure what they even try to do offensively or defensively.
Everybody mentally prepare for the tight whistle here in the 2nd half.
The officials are talking right now about a sloppy game and the lack of game flow and are going to assume it’s their job to fix it.

We didn't make shots this half... and we're up 1. So not sure you can say if we do the same this half that we'll get routed.
But we can't hardly shoot it worse this half... and I expect our defensive intensity to be like it always is.
Opening 4 will tell a lot about how second half goes. Kentucky started well with sets that attacked the way we trap on D. Our D started affecting them and they got away from it. I think that partially our ball pressure and partially that they aren't a disciplined team. We'll have to see if Pope can get them reset. On the other side, some of our shots just have to start falling.
If you told me we’d be 3-16 from 3 at half I would have told you were probably down 15 points, ton of grit from these dudes and forced their will on defense. Our guys are gonna make some shots second half that they missed in the first half
Obviously, I’m preaching to the choir guys, but man when you’re listening to the studio host say nobody in the SEC and hardly anybody in the country plays defense like Iowa State… That’s an absolutely awesome feeling…Kudos!!!
I’ve always loved defense, regardless of the sport. That’s the only way the Iowa women won yesterday because they were trash offensively.
That’s why nobody wants to play Iowa State!!!! and that’s why I really didn’t have tons of concerns coming into this game… Obviously it’s not over yet but….

Iowa state really has to find something else besides ball screen and Spain actions...has to be a priority in the offseason, just way too dependent on that stuff
To be ahead, or even in the game after that mess is a miracle. Guys playing their balls off, just have to make some shots.
And beware the refs, cause it's coming.

Need him in the 2nd! Slashing to the lane is open. And they are fouling layups
Really…. I guess I would understand that if it was Iowa State’s claim to fame. But they ride and die with defense, the three-point shooting is just icing.
Nelson has been really good today and on Thursday. I'm not sure, but maybe he could've helped a bit down that rough February stretch.
Ive been saying this for 3 years but was told after the loss to Tech at home we needed to ditch the way we play defense. There are few in the country that play D like us.
