It was a 8 or 9 possession game. JFC. 'And with a hot steak of 10 out of 10 from 3 and 9 straight forced turnovers ISU lost in a shocker last night...'

Sure and it just takes a few turnovers/run outs and 2-3 threes, which are perfectly capable of happening with a team like that that keeps firing away against reserves and just like *that* it's single digits.
I nominate this for best post of the day. Good job outta you.
While there were certainly some lapses which were frustrating, I couldn't help but be extremely impressed with many of those Morgan State points. Some incredible shooting and some incredible moves. My bigger concern is playing a team we've already played and this time on their court. That could make for a mental lapse.
Oh the horror.
I can just hear the committee. 'ISU went 16-4 in conference and only lost to Auburn in non con, but they only beat Morgan State by 9. They just don't deserve a 1 seed.'
Well the reaction to that would certainly make the meltdowns about the 13th guy not getting in for the last couple minutes yesterday seem pretty small.
Watching his movement and skill level in the time he has been on the court. Pretty easy tell he has a LONG way to go. In todays win now environment, TJ will likely need that scholarship for another eventually.
Imo ISU hasn't looked all that sharp since Marquette.
I'm curious to see what happens to the defensive efficiency rankings etc. as the season goes on.
Knowing the committee and us not being named Kansas or Duke. They would absolutely use that as an Excuse. When was the last time we got as good of a seed as the experts were predicting
Agree. Another reason at Colorado is a bit worrisome. Especially because they’ve seen us once too.
It's not, it's called debating. I happen to be on the side of getting starters rest, getting backups experience in case we need them, and limiting injuries. Others prefer to run out of gas like 2 years and work on cohesion and running sets against MEAC level teams.
You could probably take either side and have a legit argument.
'My argument is valid but here's the other side's take full of hyperbole because ISU got out to good starts and things evened out in TJ's first two years with limited rosters and I think it was because players didn't rest for 5 more game minutes in mid-December' is one approach I guess.
Did we or did we not lose like 7 in a row in February and March that year? It's a valid concern.
It’s a longstanding CF “tradition” bordering on weird obsession. Look no further than the Whar Edozie hand wringing during Fred’s best season.
Sure, in a perfect world everyone would get 10 min/game, a blue ribbon, and an extra chocolate milk at lunch. But it’s D1 basketball and not much different from other high level teams. Or much different than the best ISU teams we’ve had the privilege of watching.
Some people just need something to complain about, even when times are good.
Nothing really, just expressing my opinion guys like Nojus and Watson should have gotten PT yesterday.
Yes, they did. Seemed to be a lot of variables involved including limited athleticism and the Caleb Grill stuff. And people expected things to just happen because January was good.
I'll leave this all alone for now since this revolving door of meltdowns seems to happen every year for good-very good basketball teams and it's really odd.
