You could tell Jacobson was getting under Tillman's skin. He was just out working him. Reminds me a bit of Ejim. Relentless

Not sure how good Missouri is, but if we're beating P5 teams by over 15 points without 4 guys who are probably going to be in the rotation, including 2 starters, that's a really good thing

I think that's your answer. That's a lot of talent sitting out and we demolished a power 5 team. That ain't easy in a normal setting, much less with players like that sitting out.
hate to have so many guys unavailable, but the potential is clearly there.
Talley has a little bit if Clyburn in him. Kind of a slashing wing.
I still like Young quite a bit. He scraps down low a lot. People can come away not thinking much about him but hes a guy that doesnt look concerned about filling up the stat sheet. Hes out there to help us win.
Let's not forget that the team was absolutely floundering two years ago until Young was put into the lineup. Screens, rebounds, defensive positioning -- those types of things don't stuff stat sheets but they're part of winning hoops.
The big thing missing for Talley last year was a consistent shot. But I do like his ability to play several positions and handle the ball as well as he does for a 6-7 guy. The big thing missing for him this year is ... him.

Young is a very, very solid player. Not flashy, but solid. Outworks people. Lunch pail guy. A guy you need on that wall.
Talley is very good as well. I think some of the commentary is due to the fact that we were trying to make him into a deep threat last year (because we needed him to be that) and that's not who he is. He's an extremely versatile guy that can play 1-4. Not your star, but a guy that will get buckets because of the attention you have to give the stars.

Not sure if people already complained about this, but holy traffic last night. Coming from Easter Lake in DSM it took an hour and a half to get there and get parked.
My ISU education continues - nice to learn that Fran was checking the game out. With all the games he broadcasts, it's amazing to think he goes to even more games on the road. I plucked these from his Twitter account:
I’ve always appreciated what Young has done for our team but I’ve seen enough of Jacobson to believe that he would start over Young even when he gets healthy.
Im most excited about the possibilities of THT once he's unleashed on the offensive side, he seems to be just a spot up shooter right now. I like the movement we have so far but its going to take time for guys to find their spot and how to exploit mismatches, its going to be a fun year.
Talley had 3 or 4 really good games in the last month last year. Now, granted they were probably loses but there's no doubt he has a chance to contribute.
