The only thing OSU has going better than us right now is their normal lineup - even down 3 starters we can win this game at home. Even with the available players we have it's very apparent these player groupings aren't used to playing together.

"We could guard better"... You don't say? This defensive effort is embarrassing. On some of those turnovers/no calls, only one guy is even running back to the defensive end before OSU can score. If we're not taking defense much more seriously, it won't really matter how much talent we add next year. The ceiling will be that of the worst Hoiball team.
I decided to walk the dog in the first half when we got stuck on 21 and down by 12. Come back and see we are at 43 and only down 5. Looks like I missed something.
Lewis' body language looks totally different tonight. I hope he is able to take at least six more FG attemps in the second half. This all about development at this stage. Playing Lard 7 minutes is a fail for our coaching staff. Let him foul out. He can't learn much on the bench.
Thanks. I think I will. The dog and Cyclone fans will appreciate it!
The amount of general movement that other teams have on offense compared to ISU is kind of astounding.
Just looking emotionally spent. Normally you could switch things up until you find a combination, but there are only so many combinations that are workable.
Lewis having to guard Carrol is kind of a microcosm of the defensive issues.

He's the guy I am gonna have my eye on the most during this offseason. Really hope he can stick around and get things figured out for next year
I told people before the beginning of this year that we would enjoy watching these kids grow up, then next year a little more and maybe the tourney and watch out for 19-20. I think that could be special.
