Gave the ******* game away to KSU

[CoKane]

Check out Twitter and such - the sissy ***** boi baby D-bags that need to shut up are there. And likely the same ones doing it here. Going after players is ******* pathetic. No one is more upset than the group in the locker room right now.

I know what's going on. I checked Twitter. I'm reading the site. It doesn't change the fact you're still being a ****** to everyone else who doesn't think like you do. You have no earthly idea if the people on here are the same people that are going crazy on Twitter, but I don't honestly think you care. You just have to take your shots at everyone else because that's who you are. You acting like a complete ******* and harassing other posters does nothing to help the team and just makes the tensions around here even worse.

Fred needs to have Monte run the show down the stretch.

Agreed. However, this season it appears to be "live by the Georges, die by the Georges". It is feast or famine with him. Looks either great or horrible. Still take him trying to be the closer up until the final possession (minute) or two, as he does good work prior to "crunch crunch" time it seems. During those final possessions, would like to see Monte with the ball, getting to the rim, getting fouled and/or setting George, Naz, etc. up for shot.

Lastly, team needs to stop with the chest bumping, preening, synchronized handshakes/dap, etc when they are up by double digits until maybe only a minute left in the game. Two many games where it seems they get the lead, feel they have the game in hand, start the "three glasses", heart slapping, etc. and then obligatory foot comes off of the gas and then the car stalls and they can't get it to turn back on when other team makes their run. Too much talent for this to be happening as much as it does.

this is not just a disappointing loss...this is indicative of what we've done too many times. End of the first half we got sloppy...end of the game, we got sloppy. Teams are picking up on this with us. You tell me...coaches or players?

We have terrible game-management strategies. So either we're not being told what to do or we're not executing. Someone had better figure this out or we can talk all the **** we want about being elite...it won't matter...talk is cheap.

It's amazing what a little whiskey can do. You guys should try it, I already feel better

This was a very bad loss. It calls into question our ability to close out games. Niang need to quit playing guard at the end of games. Get his butt into the high post where he can be an asset instead of our biggest liability. He was the biggest factor in the Baylor loss also. He needs to be on the bench or in the post at crunch time.

If you didn't see the game, this chart helps to tell the story.

ISU	24	16	7	13	3
KS	46	21	6	20	37

how the hell does a bench score? c'mon that's crazy.


yes. my anger has turned to sweet sarcasm and humor.

 

[Erik4Cy]

KSU didn't look all that inspired today.

I think that is what makes our loss hurt so much. It was their Senior Day and granted they did just come off a VERY inspired game to beat KU...but they put forth an extremely beatable effort today. ISU beat ISU.

I heard houge turned it over as he was getting off the plane.

i wonder what it's like to be a Kentucky fan.

I've been predicting a first-round exit (and maybe in the Big12 tournament as well) since the South Carolina game.

No, I'm not prescient. I just know when a college basketball team has an "IQ," or when they're bereft of one.

the 8 sweet sixteens this century and 3 final fours 4 years might sooth things for me.

then again it might make every loss even more unbearable.

then again calipari has been caught cheating. hell there's a story on yahoo front page about it today. they say the punishments don't affect the coaches really so that's why they do it.

I'm not sure how one predicts that. I don't think you feel this way, but it sounds like you don't care at all, and are saying this just so that if it does happen, you can be the one too say "see I told you."

5 seed team?

Lose out, and yes.

On whiskey #2. The pain lessens even more, and even a bit of optimism creeps in

That must be some powerful stuff. What you got? I want exact details.

Windsor. The best ****** whiskey out there

Windsor. The best ****** whiskey out there

1. Need to get Houge fixed. Something is wrong, he's either hurt or having a personal issue. He just isn't himself. He will be fine though, too good a player to slump much longer.

2. Need to have Morris handle the ball, there is zero reason to have George bringing the ball up.

3. Need to find George more rest, which means nAder and jones can't go mia.

4. We are asking George to do things he can't do at times

5. Can't have Matt and George on the floor at the same time, limits us defensively to much.

6. Naz needs more shots.

I think we will be fine, Freddy is good and will figure it out. Just cant have 4 guys not show up like tonight though. This wouldn't be so bad if the exact same thing didn't just happen. Freddy is really good at looking at himself in the mirror though and will get the fixed.

Good time to have a fast turnaround at home.

 

[CarlHungus]

On whiskey #3. Georges, Naz, Monte, Hogue, & Jameel? **** yeah! These guys are going to do something special in March

 

[CarlHungus]

Whiskey #4. Why is my wife yelling at me for drinking too much; did she not watch that game!!? Buddy Hield better not be allowed to slap our ******* floor Monday night.
