Like I said a little bit ago, probably need 3 of the Iowa, Seton Hall, and the last 2 B4A games. Otherwise gonna be hard to make it in with 9 conference losses and 4 non-con losses.
I don't think we will just don't think we have enough offense (shooting) this year to do so. We will have some games where the offense looks good but just think we will be far too inconsistent in that area.
imagine hoping a team you supposedly root for to lose so you can go after the coach
There are lots of obvious story lines. My few notes:
* Haliburton is friggin good.
* Prohm has a lot of confidence in Grill. I'd like to see him start to look for his shots because he's going to get PT, it seems. His stroke looks good.
* I thought Conditt would be a bigger factor today.
* In a team lacking in outside shooting, how bad must Prohm rate T-lew's floor game?

I like Nixon on defense, he's great there. But I would enjoy never seeing him take a shot at the end of the game ever again please
And now for the post game radio to hear CSP and radio crew talk about how proud they are of the team for not giving up and having a comeback that just fell a little short
Agree. The commentators are saying ISU didn't crash the boards on that play. True, but they were standing wide open at the arc waiting for the kick-out. A 3 would have been huge at that moment.
give it your best shot. Looks like Malone is the leader in the clubhouse right now.
I think it is too early to really tell. ISU had to replace a lot of scoring this year, so there is going to be an adjustment. Team looks like it is playing hard on defense and most of the shots that they are missing are pretty decent shots. Still can't believe that someone in the guard court isn't a better shooter than what we have seen so far.
I'm not sure what we'll do in conference. We're still watching this team figure itself out. I'm just not willing to write the team off before December. Losing to a team that should be ranked and will be near the top of a P5 conference shouldn't end our season in any fan's eyes. I think we saw this team learn some things today and fight back. We made a ton of floaters in the lane because they were collapsing to take away getting all the way to the rim. If we can keep doing that and stop Nixon from shooting 86 threes a game, I think we'll be alright.
Math hard for you too?
these are not bad shooters going to the line. Have to make them.
Yeah, trying to play up-tempo and get some steals makes sense when trying to cut into a 10-point lead. Grill is better defensively than many freshman guards, that's for sure.
