Creighton-Iowa State (Not so) secret scrimmage 10/21
- Thread starter LLCoolCY
- Start date
Yes they do do that. They may also reset the scores and stuff depending on the format.
Would have expected Iowa State to struggle vs. Creighton. The Bluejays lost in the 2nd round of the NCAA Tournament to KU without 2 starters - Nembhard and Kalkbrenner due to late season injuries. Creighton returns 4 players who started games for them last season and added Scheierman who was Summit League POY.
We have 4th & 5th year players who have been proven scorers for solid P5 programs. Programs that have won stressing defense: ISU, St Bonaventure and VCU. These guys aren't going to panic in low scoring, tight games.
I don't understand the "sky is falling" about the offensive firepower of this years team. Below is 2020/21 scoring for our players- about 71ppg & a total 203mpg
Tre King - 14.9ppg (28mpg in 2019/20)
Holmes - 13.5ppg (38mpg)
Osunniyi - 11.3ppg (30mpg)
Kalscheur - 9.6ppg (31mpg)
Ward - 6.5ppg (20mpg)
Grill - 6.4ppg (24mpg)
Kunc - 6.0ppg (20mpg)
Jones - 2.9ppg (12mpg)
I think we will see a team approach for a go-to scorer. One night it might be Holmes scoring 18 points, the next night it might be King and the next Kalscheur. I think we could see an uptick in Grill's game if Tre King, Ossunniyi and Ward can provide some paint scoring.

Many of our guys have been decent scorers but at lower levels; that doesn't mean they won't score in the B12 but they just haven't proven it yet. If Tre King scored 15/game at this level instead of vs Austin Peay and Tennessee Tech that would be a fantastic transition.
Honestly, averaging 71ppg while only giving up 62.5ppg (last year total) wouldn't be all that bad. I think this year can be even better defensively
So we lost to Wisconsin by double digits in a scrimmage at the beginning of last season. Then we beat them by double digits in the Sweet 16 to end their season.
Guess we shouldn't get too shook about losing to Creighton in this year's scrimmage.
It was in the 2nd round/round of 32.
The game felt like ISU should have opened it up but it didn't.
Is anyone getting too shook about this? This seems like a thread with people ******** about how people shouldn't pay attention to these results. But I've yet to see any poster complain about the results.
We lost to northwestern and SDSU in scrimmages last year, played Wisconsin a couple of yrs ago
For the longest time Barry Stevens was my favorite ISU MBB player. But Niang really embodies love for ISU as a player, alum, and community supporter. I really don't remember a athlete who had continued to support the ISU/Ames community as much as he has at such a young age. He is truly exceptional.
What coach pushes his kid to accept a scholarship offer from the program that is about to fire him?
Literally no one thought Doug was going to be an All American. He was a fringe Top 150 kid and that was even a stretch out of high school, he got a lot of the benefit of the doubt from playing with Harrison Barnes.
