Is Lewis hurt? Just looked the box score, the kid has major issues if he cant even get in with the walkons.
Didn’t shoot well, don’t look too much into this one. This game doesn’t define the team, what does though is playing right with the teams we played in the Bahamas. This team is going to do good things! Book it!
Why doesn't Iowa State hire a seamstress to fix Tyrese's shorts the way he likes them so he doesn't need to fold over the waistband? The flapping tag sticking out back annoys me.
Along the line of annoying and pants....What was the deal with Hardnett for UMKC pulling down his pants all of the time?

Does ISU lead the country in stepping out of bounds after catching a pass in the corner?
Playing two bigs and getting out rebounded is also overrated.
To be fair to Lewis he's probably somewhere in between the walk-ons and guys getting playing time so Prohm didn't feel the need to put him in...... I hope
I just don’t see how. We lack scoring punch and height in the guard court. What four would we play and who would give them a rest? Most of our four guard lineups had plenty of 6-5 type guys to help with defense and rebounding
And yet the analytics don’t show that much difference is the effectiveness of either approach. Offense has been terrific under both coaches. Problem is we don’t have the shooters this year. Defense will have to be a Top 35 defense to give us a shot at the tourney.
Good points. Maybe he's thinking that the offensive motion would be better and we'd drive more to the hoop. It would mean Solo, Conditt and Jake would see decreased playing time.
That’s fair. Jacobsen has held his own so far. Either Young needs to step up, or Conditt needs more minutes, because he is doing well so far.
I feel like we’re kinda in between playing big or going small. Both have had their moments but neither style has clearly won out. There’s been positives and negatives to both.
Would our defense and rebounding dramatically decrease? Teams are exploiting having two bigs on defense, which leads to some of our rebounding issues.
We could start Jackson, bringing in the second big or Grill as needed. Jacobson does better as a small 5 anyways, but Conditt’s shot blocking and transition offense are probably needed
I don't get why we have to "go" big or small. Just play what matches up best against the teams we play. Playing two bigs will pretty much be necessary against teams like Iowa, KU and Baylor off the top of my head. Teams like Seton Hall and most of the big 12 are probably better off as a 4 guard match up. No need to be married to one or another.
