Same players and expecting different results..... hmmmmmm


Boy I cant wait until football hits this board next fall.

I can't believe they separated from us in the 2nd half. I thought for sure Coach's half-time adjustments would close the gap.

:laugh:

The three seniors that we will honor on Saturday never won a conference road game in their ISU career. That doesn't happen very often.

13 turnovers outta your guards and 9 by your point guards (DG: 6 DB: 3) is absolutely inexcusable. 48.8% from the field should put you right in the game, until you turn it over 17 times.

Question? Whys does Justin start the second half when we were clearly a better team with out him in the first half...Just coach have ZERO halftime adj....

I feel sorry for boozer never playing...

Why not try something different when we are 10th in the big 12???!!!!

Exactly. You would think people would get past the point that they meltdown after every loss. We know what's coming!!!!

Coaching strategies go out the window in the second half, and the opposing team's athleticism takes over.

Everybody should take a look at the recruiting being done around the Big 12. We may be getting an influx of talent but schools like Oklahoma State and Kansas State are loading up with some awesome talent. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we finished 10th or 11th again next year WITH Brackins.

It is reasonable to expect some improvement as the season goes on, is it not?

I wouldnt either. Ive said it 100 times... we are more than 2 new players away. We are 3 quality Big 12 starters away.

Since our basketball team sucks so bad, lets just put pressure on Paul Rhoads. Lets call for his head if he doesnt take us to the Fiesta Bowl.

All I want to know is why we still have Greg. He is our worst coach in the last two decades. He just doesn't have what it takes I believe. He is a nice guy and a good person I just don't feel that on the basketball court he give us what we need to win.

If this is true and I think it is, then next year will be GM's last at ISU. I know Gilstrap is getting a lot of hype, but he is one and done at best. Combine that with CB leaving after next year and this program is in horrible shape.

Agree...I wouldn't bash the guy so much if I saw him making some adjustments once in a while...Same old game plan night in and night out...pass it into the block and never have a cutter! EVER!

 

[ajk4st8]

You can only make so many adjustments when so many of your players are so limited.

 

[BringBackJohnny]

word. Playing great D is great but when you score not points and can't break a press why step on the floor?

 

[IcSyU]

If this is true and I think it is, then next year will be GM's last at ISU.

Unless you're footing the bill, I highly doubt it.

 

[BringBackJohnny]

oops NO points

That post is right on. Greg's job right now is a series of "what ifs" that need to go in his favor. What if Brackins leaves this year? What if Gilstrap only gets one year? What if Barnes committs to a school other than ISU? What if there are more player defections like the ones that have been rumored? I think if two of those four things happen, he will not see year 5.

Its interesting to see how a game like this brings out the worst in all of us. We are terrible and we have been terrible in alot of sports for alot of years but for some reason we aren't supporting our guys all that much. I know at least half the team reads the stuff on here

This isn't about the players. It is about Coach's pathetic style that he forces them to play. One guy shoot, 4 guys retreat to the defensive end, assuming we haven't turned the ball over first. Coach does not press or crash the offensive boards when we are behind. His style will not win at ISU. But, many of you will defend him, so enjoy. Bring on the Cubs!
