What did he say about the players? Someone should have asked him why Grill gets 32 minutes when he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat today.

Did you think that Caleb's defense was worth going 1-for ******* 12 today? Because that's apparently why TJ is playing him. I do know that Caleb gave up a VERY critical 3 in OT. But I'm sure he played hard.

Former Cyclone football great, and current dirt track racing CPA Curt posted it. I don’t live anywhere I’d hear the post game show.

I don't agree with what TJ said but LOL if you think he should say he should recruit better players in a press conference. How is that not also throwing the team under the bus?

I just think it's got to be demoralizing for the players to be told that if only they played harder they'd win. Maybe TJ should take some of blame.

So you think him saying he needs to recruit better players would be more encouraging?

If these losses were more spread out I agree. You don't beat a bunch of tourney teams in December then beat 2 very good teams in Hilton then all of sudden you can't win another game. Questions should be asked.
A lot of those "tourney" teams we beat are being exposed as not tourney teams if you go back and look at them now.

And he isn't supposed to ghost TJ. But he lobbied HARD for TJ 6 years ago. It was a barrage. And last year, he was making comments in podcasts during the season about how he wouldn't be able to visit Vegas any more b/c TJ would be here. So he's got to own that.
Why do you care?. Weird obsession.

Fair enough.

But maybe TJ should say he has to find a way to coach better so that these guys can be in a better position to win. There was nothing about that on the radio after the game. Nothing reflective about him. Maybe he said it in the post game press conference.

Well, this thread has already had a longer lifespan than I thought. Get your comments in now, appears the mods are either out drinking or don't monitor late Saturday nights.

Matt Campbell does this all the time. Doesn't make it not coach speak, but it sure feels better than "players gotta play harder" (paraphrasing).

Iowa, Xavier, and Creighton are showing up on alot of mock brackets. Memphis just won at Houston today. All those wins are legit, this team can win games, they're just completely broken right now.

I think at the end of the day it is hard to say it is an issue of effort when a guy shooting 30 something% from the field on the year plays 39 minutes. That seems like a coaching issue.

Please explain...

Memphis has now won 5 straight and will be a Q1 win for us again after they just beat #6 Houston on the road today and is back on the bubble.

Iowa is still top 20 in the NET and will make the tourney

Texas Tech is still top 15

Texas just beat KU and has won 5 of their last 7 with their losses being Baylor and Texas Tech

Creighton has won 3 of 4 and is still considered a tourney team and Q1 win for us

Xavier is still top 25 NET

Not sure what you mean...care to elaborate?
