I mean overall we shot really well from the free throw line which is great. Lipsey shot was flat and short all night. Not sure if his shoulder is bothering him or what.

I think Jackson and Jefferson both showed they can play at this level. That was a huge test. They will continue to get better.
Jefferson and Lipsey played the most minutes, were clearly exhausted and ultimately hurt the team. They needed more subs.
We forced them to defend a dribble hand-off and that's it after standing around for 10 seconds. You should be hitting them with actions the whole time to see if you can get an easy back cut for a layup or someone lost in screens for a good look from distance from your desired shooters. We put all of our eggs in a basket that predictably got triple teamed.

Loss doesn’t do much. Maybe the difference between a 1 seed and a 2 seee come March.
We’re good. We’ll be fine

Feels like Jackson just barely missed on 3 or 4 bunnies that I think go in later in the year as he gets more comfortable.
Agreed…He seemed a step slow and his conditioning looked bad at times. He looked tired. He’s got to be better at securing the ball when it’s loose. And boxing out.
I don't think Lipsey has ever *not* been hurt his entire ISU career. Pretty sure his shoulder is (and has been) ground beef but just plays through it with painkillers.
Well if they lose to Dayton, like their chances against CU assuming they lose to UConn
That’s high level college basketball. Teams are going to make a run. I would expect us to do the same.
Our guys haven’t had to play true starter minutes. I thought we looked sluggish defensively starting the first half. When you aren’t in true game shape it’s hard to start the engine back up after you shut it down. It took us a good 6-8 minutes to match Auburns energy.
They have to get more physical down low. How many times did he get denied going for a dunk. He’s huge. If you try and stop a guy that big from dunking he should be breaking the guys hand on the rim. Ever see Shaq get denied? No because he knew to use physical force while throwing it down and rebounding
I never like the timeout, just attack unless you have some guaranteed go to play.
Center Ball screen for Gilbert… didn’t need a timeout to call that.
Hope when in same situation next time we just play it out between Jones, Lipsey, Gilbert.
I know it was because of defense, but seems like Mommy should have been in after calling that timeout.

To everyone bagging on Jefferson. He looked tired in the 2nd half. Remember he still isn't too far from being back from a knee injury. His stamina will improve.
I could be wrong in where I give credit, but was it Doc Sadler on Fred Hoiberg's staff that was good at drawing up out of bounds plays and run stoppers out of timeouts?
