Will be interesting to see where Heise fits. Right now I don't see it, but long season.
Yeah it really is pretty nuts how no lead feels safe with a TJ team
ISU can go up 18 points, and Auburn can make up 18 points? Apparently both teams had streaks.
The spread was like 2.5, they hit some horse like shots, and made up the difference.
It hurt not being conditioned for a full 40 min against a top 5 team. It’s quite a bit different when you go from 40 point beat downs against SWAC teams to all the sudden a top 5 team who might even be the best in the country right now. Auburn had the advantage of playing Houston already,
It would have been nice!
I wanted the Maui Trophy on the shelf too.
Let's Go State!
You are correct there are issues, but we ALSO showed we belong. Both can be true.
Don’t have to like it. But let’s not act like this is some devastating result. This was a great game for getting tape on how we play against a top team. And we'll be better in January for it.
Not gonna lie, was optimistic we would win with the big halftime lead. Knew Auburn was the type of team that could erase a lead in a hurry though.
That a bigger issue here. I don’t think there’s any doubt his shoulder is bothering him. For his prior shooting word he’s always been a good ft shooter and those two weren’t even close
Also what the **** was that 4-point play where the guy OBVIOUSLY traveled before taking the three and then twisted his body sideways after the shot pretending Gilbert fouled him?
4 points in their favor that should have never been. These refs were terrible at calling travels all night. Tons of obvious ones that went uncalled. Our fans were way better at pointing them out.

That’s too bad. Feel for him. Offseason surgery, tons offseason rest and therapy… can the guy not catch a break!?
So was looking at minutes 36 for Jefferson and 21 for Dishon..
I thought Dishon given he was going up against one of the best Bigs in college basketball played well. Drew a lot of fouls.
Not sure why he didn't get another 4 or 5 minutes, and spell Jefferson more.
Lipsey had 32 minutes tonight.
Well this tournament is about establishing rotations.
Hoping Nojus gets a few more minutes, certainly a big step up for him today but I think he can be a contributor in Big 12 play.

Heise has not shown me anything yet. Watson is a better defender and if Heise is better on offense he sure has **** hasn’t shown much. Might be this years version Jackson P from last year. Great mid major but the move up wasn’t it for him
Both are absolutely true. We're freaking out about giving up an 18 point lead, but shouldn't Auburn be freaking out they got in an 18 point hole? The fact is they look like a really good team and we played well enough to beat them. Runs happen in basketball when good offenses are involved and Auburn has one of the best offenses.
