Brutal ******* 3 days for ISU fans. Mizzou, Purdy injury, and tonight.
I don't think they were wrong but also Shoon had also played a long time at the end of the game. He needed a couple mins off, and TJ pulled Rob pretty quick there. Kunc being available would have been huge in the second half.
We need to bring Nick Weiler Babb back to show Tamin how to improve outside shooting from near garbage to above average in just one summer.
I will say we all deserve stimulus checks straight from the staff after this game.
Either go f*ck yourself or go look at my history from the winter/spring of 2021 and you'll find out how I was feeling about the basketball program. Go ahead and move your lips while you read it if that helps with your comprehension.
Call me crazy, but I feel like the game was lost in the first half when we went in to halftime only up 17. Feel free to draw your own conclusions for the reasoning for that.
It's his one big flaw and a big reason why he was rated where he was. Still obviously has outplayed that a ton, and I'm so impressed with the rest of his game, but being THAT big of a non-factor in such a significant part of the game is going to hurt.
Needs to become, as you said, around a 30% guy this off-season. Doesn't have to be great there but just had to be able to exploit his guy sagging 10 feet off a little bit.
6 wins.
Likely need 8 for a bid.
I'll have to check the schedule but it was about right now when they got beat by TCU at home, then lost a bunch before stringing 3-4 wins in a row to get to 7 wins.
We may see similar except yeah there's a cushion there with a good start..
Otz ain’t perfect, and tonight was awful, but he’s done a damn fine job.
We were getting fouled. There are no rules that say you can't get fouled unless you ate "attacking". Lipsey was getting bumped and pushed most if the second half, we do it it's a foul, they do it, play on.
It's as simple as that. We AND the officials let them back in and the excitment bias caused practically every call to go there way in the second half.
Well those last 15 minutes were tough. Time to regroup and beat KU Saturday. Our offense just disappeared with 10 minutes left. Also the whole team needs to practice free throws in the off season. Help Lipsey develop a outside shot and get Big Rob to settle down around the basket. That spin move in the 1st half was nice.
We almost had 7
I'll feel better once we get 2 more. This conference is a ***** and you (obviously as we learned tonight) can't count on any wins.
It's truly an anomaly for a young player his size and the position he plays to not only be a poor shooter, but a guy who defers if not refuses to shoot altogether. Kids his age have grown up watching guys like Steph, Harden, and Lillard and you would think try and model their games after them some, shooting 3s in the gym all day etc. I don't mean to knock Tamins game, because he's been pretty stellar with what he does do well. Defend, disrupt, dish and dribble. Hard to get too mad at him because he's really being asked to do a lot more than what most thought he'd be heading into the season.
No. He was under 25% from the high school line last year iirc.
