This. All the good shooters in the world can't rescue you in a league that has moved on from Iowa State. You either adapt to the style of play that 9 of 10 teams use or you will waste all the talent and simply foster a generation of fans that thinks that the refs have it in for us. They don't...they are calling the game as it is played now...not 20 years ago.We need to be tougher. Other teams seem to out tough us (beat on us) and officials don't care OR think that is the way it should be played.
Bill gets talented shooters that are not mean and nasty. They're nice. That is no longer allowed in the Big 12.

This is SO SO true. It's all about speed, height, athleticism and hard fought tough playing anymore. From what I've been reading on here the last few years it seems that many ISU fans feel just as you expressed it, that the refs just have it in for you. Well the refs are very poor quality I'll grant you that. But they're bad on both ends of the court. You either adapt or get left behind.This.

Listening to the game since my usual espnu stream is as flaky as a well cooked piece of mahi mahi today. Nice to have Brent Blum back at PxP.
We aren't going there...we are already there...for at least a decade now...Yep, and I don't like the style. But I understand thrat is where we are going.
