The question with Mac is does he improve players, or "they are who we thought they were?"

Ben Jacobson was the real brains of the operation

reason why Doug McDermott is going to UNI instead of Iowa State to be better coached obviously

I'll give you those, but the terrible rebounding, lack of mental and physical toughness, poor rebounding, lack of a coherent offesive scheme...those are coaching issues.

He can't force guys to play defense. Gilstrap, Dendy, and Brackins, 3 important players, have never played great defense consistently. They let the guy by, and hope they can block the shot. You can't block shots and rebound.

Re: Next season

We didn't beat Duke so I guess it is time to write off this year and next now.

Hey, the announcers are portraying more hope in a clone comeback than I have. What's going on here?

We need some threes.. not contested shots by brackins (which he's missed pretty much all of them)

there is no off the ball movement on our offense

This is the one thing that has been a problem ever since Mac got here. There has never been any off ball movement with his guys, it's really aggravating.
