If tre had played instead of grill, we may have pulled it out

can't wait for Grill to take Lewis' minutes against Baylor. Nixon and Jacobson starting and playing 30 minutes. Lewis DNP.
“I’m not trying to diss him.” Man all you have done in this thread is diss him. He was one of the bright spots on the team today. Yes, he should have made those 2 threes but he played a good game. Give the man some credit, he would be better at the 4 than Jacobson.
You're not trying to diss him, but yet you are dissing on him every chance you can. You never seem to post when he was doing really good things this game that kept us in the game.
Just face it.... Lewis >>> Grill right now. I'm not giving up at all on Grill though, he's just not quite ready yet.
Lewis or Jackson should start over Nixon and Zion should start over Mike. It's time
We were down as much as about 20, came back to lose a tight one by 4, with a wide open look at an even closer game. Can't be too upset about that.
Guys didn't quit and some played substantially better down the stretch. As sad as it is, this is another winnable game if they just shot 3s at an average level, especially in the first half.
Oh well, it's done now. On to #1 at home.

Exactly. You play to win the game not extend it. You could have gotten two and gotten the pressure going again, but you’re probably not getting another to.
I think it might be time to mentally prepare that we're not making the tournament.
Conditt seemed to have zero impact this game. He used to be the savior.
Very proud of the character and effort by our players today. That is all that we can ask for from these young men. Win or lose, play with effort and pride and the Cyclone Nation will support and respect you. Go Clones.
Today finally felt like a step forward. Young and Lewis were grinding out there. Stopped taking every 3 pointer that was even close to open, although there were still a few too many of those early in the shot clock. Lewis missed a couple crucial 3s but he was tenacious cutting towards the basket and fighting for offensive rebounds. Hopefully we can get Tre back to eat up some of Nixon and Grill's minutes. Starting 5 needs a shuffle. Conditt cannot start with Jacobson and Nixon.
I don't think TL is the answer, but when you see Bolton and Nixon half-asssing it effort wise at times its nice to reward the hustle and energy.
The inability of this team to make completely wide open threes is unreal.
Solomon and TLew battling was really fun to watch. Give them all the minutes they can handle.

I hope you’re talking NIT. You should have been preparing for NCAA long before now.
Grill is a better freshman version of MT to me. Looks like he's taking good shots and his form looks solid. Like so many, just needs some to fall like Tre to get going.
At this point CSP's goal should be to reward hustle and toughness and screw any analytics and match-up decisions. Let's re-lay the foundation of this program with grit and toughness.
