**** WBB: Cyclones host #9 TCU - Game Thread - 3:00 pm FS1 ****

[ISUCubswin]

We tried zone early on. Not naming names, but one guard was lost in the sauce and she was exposed, so they had to go back to man.

If you would have told me at the start of the year that in a home game where Addy scores 31 and Audi scores 29, we will lose by 13 points, I'm not sure I'd believe you.

 

[ISUCubswin]

I truly believe this team is just one real ball handler who can create shots away from being really damn good. Hopefully one can be found in the portal.

 

[exCYtable]

Nothing from anyone not named Audi or Addy

 

[ISUCubswin]

Van Lith very complimentary of Hilton and the atmosphere.

 

[throwittoblythe]

Addy and Audi should be really proud of their effort and work today. I am very grateful that they are here.

I was not impressed with Browns attitude and body language early in the year but she has stepped up. Good for her.

Why not name names? What’s the big deal with that? It’s just an anonymous message board talk. Who cares?

Go spend some money in the portal on a player described above! Get a proven player and don’t settle. Audi and Addy deserve it!

Before the game if you told me Conner would make no threes and only attempt one and that Prince would foul out with zero points and one freakin' rebound I would have bet we would have won by a dozen.

Edit: Not to even mention Crooks and Brown combing for 60 points!

Those are not exactly plentiful in the portal. And a guard of that caliber isn't going to want to come to a tight reigned system like Bill runs.

I also don’t imagine we are in a position to offer big $ to any WBB portal player.

 

[AlCyJim]

Maybe leaving their shooters wide open isn’t the best defensive strategy, Bill.

we do not switch when the other tame screens the defender

 

[AlCyJim]

Joens makes great steal, sprints down to her wide open spot and Ryan looks the other way

looking for crooks

 

[rosshm16]

In the NIL transfer world, athletic point guards in WBB are like 7-footer posts in MBB, I don't think we're getting one unfortunately.

 

[acoustimac]

Playing two on five on offense and NOT giving your other three a chance on offense won’t win ANY games

 

[AlCyJim]

We have, again, no offensive help outside of the two. No one is even looking for a shot

not to disagree with you but they never get the ball to shoot. everything is to go inside. watched joens turn down shots to pass it inside . they have to shoot and make some to draw the double team off the inside

 

[ZorkClone]

Whether it’s coaching or just our players our guards are not getting it done.

Something needs to give next year.

 

[ZorkClone]

On a bright note we have the best center in the Big 12 and probably one of the best forwards

 

[CYdTracked]

Just 2-9 shooting for 8 players not named Brown or Crooks is just pathetic. A couple players need to step up and be more aggressive taking shots. When 2 players combine nearly all your points and attempts it's not hard for a defense to key in on the biggest threats if no one else is taking shots.

 

[AlCyJim]

I was just thinking the same thing, we literally have 2 players just standing and watching.

they run to a spot and then stay there like they are told to. unless they get the ball and pass it inside they are not a factor and I feel that is on the staff
