Maybe it will pay dividends later, but Jefferson playing point guard says a lot about the state of our guard play. Final four teams always have a floor general at the point.
Teams are gonna be ecstatic to see him at the point because it'll mean easy steals.

This team screams first round upset. We will
Come out lazy against a 13 seed with a bunch of turnovers then eff around and find out with like 7 minutes in the second half.

I think we finally wanted that San Diego State / Loyola Chicago final four historic run. And we can’t even get to that level.

ISU has been consistently better than those two programs over several seasons though.

FF runs don't just happen--even the best teams need some luck.

If Laetner doesn't catch that ball vs. KY Duke just goes home.

The 99-00 team let their 15 seed tie it up after leading by 20 and had to hit free throws in the end to close it out.

Playing well or not, ISU would still need to get the right match ups.

Just such a bummer. Hilton was going to be a buzzsaw Saturday night, but after this I'm not so sure.

What is the narrative of the eternal optimist posters after this one?

Won the second half?
Road games are tough?
Big 12 coaches are really good and scouting us?
Everything will be great when Keshon is back?
No it’s a bad game, no silver lining on this one but to be as miserable as some people are on here about it would be exhausting

"Unacceptable! That's not going to happen again!" TJ not happy on the radio show right now.

I won’t be surprised if it does happen again

Well if I remember correctly in that thread this past week Blum was hinting or pointing maybe in Jefferson’s way of him being offered twice as much from other programs already.
This is crazy to me. I go back and forth trying to decide if Jefferson is our best player or our worst.

I’m also tired of our media personalities making up every excuse as to why Iowa State struggles and loses some head scratching games.

Every single team goes through injuries and the season is long yet our media guys come up with every excuse as to why we are struggling.

Well, TJ is pissed on post-game. No sickness going around, just lack of effort. Really alarming.

I'm not listening to the post-game, but I sure as hell hope he is including the coaching staff in this and not just the players. Enough is enough, TJ. You've done it before, find a leader, make it happen. Now.
