*** Official Ole Miss vs #15 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Kicking ass on the offensive boards, I'll give them that. But it's also a function of missing a lot of initial shots. We might be down 20 if we didn't get all those boards.

Milan has had a couple games where he struggled in the 1st half and got hot in the 2nd. Really need him to hit a couple quick shots here.

We definitely need the hot version this half

To be clear, I agree with your point. My point is there is no attempt at any adjustments that may at compensate slightly.

Tj doesn't really adjust a lot, it's just a play harder thing. Honestly I'm not sure what you can do here, it's just an overall quickness issue.

Wow Maryland

Yeah. Wow he took 4 steps

 

[madguy30]

I think we are more like an 8-11 but none of that matters now.

8-11?

Holy ****.

At what point do we pull the inevitable “make it a one score game and then immediately give up 10 straight points”

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Guarantee we are the only P5 program in this tournament sending a walk on out there to play meaningful minutes. Nothing against Cade, he's a nice story, but that absolutely is not a winning strategy. There needed to be better scholarship guards behind Tamin, Curtis, Nate and Keshon on this team.

Well we know ole miss is capable of blowing first half leads

Chris Beard is pretty experienced when it comes to choking

 

[NY Chicago Fan]

Well we were a top 5 team at one time. Nobody cares how good we were 2 months ago. Injuries are why depth is important.

Crap shoot it they really should have been top 5, but regardless nobody like ISU has depth to replace two starting guards (assuming Tamin not healthy)

 

[cyatheart]

They really being physical with Milan, and he hates it. Has to improve on that next year.

 

[Erik4Cy]

Game is far from over. Still holding out hope. UNC was down by 20+ and almost won

First 4 minutes of second half will be critical

I'd say first 6-8 minutes, but yes.

If Miss wins those too, season is probably ending.

 

[cal-cyclone]

1st thing for the 2nd half. START CUJO

 

[cyfanbr]

We are capable of turning this around, but wish we would not have dug this big of a hole. I think we will start hitting out shots, but I’m concern is our guard defense right now. Lipsey is unable to shift sideways very wuickly right now, and Keldern is over matched physically by their guards. Maybe Heise on Paduca, but not Heise is quick enough. Could put Curtis on Paduca, but he is our only offense right now, so not sure I want him gassed on defense. Tough spot.

 

[Clonefan32]

I think you play Jefferson at the 5 and live with small ball.

I don’t even care if Nojus is terrible defense. His offensive could be in use right now

 

[Cyinthenorth]

8-11?

Holy ****.

More or less down 2 starters who when healthy are all conference type players. I don't know what would be crazy about saying we are more like a 8-11 seed given those facts.

 

[Walden4Prez]

Tj doesn't really adjust a lot, it's just a play harder thing. Honestly I'm not sure what you can do here, it's just an overall quickness issue.

1 guy dribbling around in traffic while everyone else stands in place is not a quickness issue.

 

[bradcyclone]

I still don’t get why Watson does not get at least 5 minutes for his pressure he can provide?

 

[3TrueFans]

All followed by immediate turnovers

You're naming 4 guards like it's a football squad.

Is this for a 20 man roster?
