ISU/Iowa MBB game thread....

My coach used to make us run sprints for every turnover we got as a team. These boys would be some tired pups if Mac does the same to them.

Well it's looks like we'll have plenty to work on in practice.

Gametracker's been stuck at 66 to 51 for a long time, so what is the score and time?

We need to start our walk-ons next game to send these airheads a message.

I agree, that something needs to be shaken up for the next game to make a point to the players. I would go as far as telling the players during practice that the players who follow the fundamentals (fewest turnovers, centers not shooting threes, assists, defense) by position will start and play the majority of the minutes. And not base anything on points, flashy dunks, or who started in previous games. Let that be the competition.

them - more than us

Taylor and McIntosh really aren't doing anything to help us. We need somebody who's not afraid to drive to the basket under control.

Gee, thanks. :rolleyes5cz:

I'm not gonna look for that one on ESPN Classic. What an ugly game. It looked like a bad JV scrimmage. Were we playing with the new NBA ball no one can hang onto? We looked lost on offense and couldn't keep them out of the middle on defense.

However, it may be the alcohol talking, but I will say that this is the last time we lose to the Hawks in the next five years. Their cupboards look pretty bare coming up, and ours are stocked. I don't think McDermott will get caught drinking Natty Light with coeds anytime soon, so there will be stability and quality there, too.

0 for the state. Ouch.

Good thing I had prepared myself for a long season....

Agreed....

and I think Mac will

Agreed. I guess the one thing I expected with GMac as coach is players playing under control and within a system. I see neither. I know it's early, but I guess I don't understand why it takes a long long time for players to play under control, or not play at all on game day.

I know GMac has proven himself in the state of Iowa, but this has to be a hard time for him as coach. He doesn't have the right answers right now and his competition is only going to get harder.

We can't turn the ball over like that and win, ever! It looked like we didn't give a $hit passing and we couldn't catch a pass to save our lives.

The nice thing about living out of state... I don't have to listen to the s**t from hawk fans when we lose.

I second that! I live in the TC and it seems to be much more pro-Clones, which is great.
