You know who doesn’t have these kinds of issues/complaints? Houston.
Don’t forget Colorado was also missing their best player that game due to illness.
WVU was also missing one of their best players too.
The defense was a bit leaky even in the non conference and some trends are going to emerge occasionally evrn if there's imprivements.
We need to play our game, play some "D" and show them why we're #3 in the country and they are 2-5 in the Big 12! We need to pound it inside to the Presidents and see some motion from our guards.
I would have to see it in action. There is some nuance to it. It doesn't always have to be cut and dry. The main thing is constancy and not letting one team gain an advantage.
We finally have a legitimate seat at the big boy table, and we have too many here willing to stand outside in the hallway looking in again.
We're a top 3 team on everyone's short list of contenders.
The bar is what the bar is, silly Cyclones.

Well if this is how it’s going to be on the road get ready to 3 seed. I could see 7-8 losses piling up easily with having to go to UCF, kstate, Houston, Kansas, Az, etc
But he’s a credible threat and draws defenses out. We miss that.
They probably do, I don't know. Al I know is the five guys out on the floor have to figure it out, the stripes aren't going to save them on the road.
You think their fans weren't freaking out when they needed a last second bucket to win at UCF?
Curtis Jones is the only dude that can score today. Keshon really needs to step it up. Hopefully Jefferson goes bonkers as well as we saw earlier this week he can take over a game.
It's the threat that's the difference. Even if he has like 2 points you can't lose sight of him at any point.
I’m not in despair about the season but the offense feels like it somehow reverted back to IZB year where we’re just hoping Curtis can get hot.
There’s little semblance of an action on offense too much dribbling and not finding the open man.
Keshon is great but the book is out on how to defend him. He does not take advantage of sagging double teams on pnr. He dribbles into it.
Feel we need to have Lipsey run pt. Have him get into a two man game with Jefferson or Jackson. Then kick out for shots or Gilbert slashing.
If you look at the average lead/deficit on Torvick this is an ASU that has been thoroughly destoryed in 5 out of the 8 Big 12 games they've played so far, 5 out of 7 since Colorado at home shouldn't even count.
This will be a catastrophic loss to a terrible team with a terrible coach when it comes March.

But realistically most teams are full of guys that are pretty variable. Having one more guy that might go off makes a huge difference, and those minutes are getting soaked up by guys that are either already playing heavy minutes and guys that give you very little offensively.
Losing Momcilovic is huge. Not that anybody can do anything about it, but his injury is huge.
Joes is the only one scoring for us, not a good sign because he can’t play the whole game.
It seems on offense we are playing 3 or 4 on 5. Just Keshon and Cujo dribbling and no one else involved.
