Yeah you can tell when he gets frustrated, there's a foul coming up, the hip check moving screen was really dumb, Kane was somewhat similar last year and it looks like BDJ is the same way.

Wow, just wow.
That stuff happens. Several players lost their cool tonight. Although young, Maryland had that Turgeon make contact or foul every move on the court down to perfection. It clearly got to almost every player on the court.

The foul itself wasn't bad but the situation we were in was, he's just gotta be smarter than that in the future, even if he is frustrated at the time.
All in all we lost this game as a team, shot absolutely terrible, yet we still had a fighters chance in the last minute and it almost looked like we'd pull it out. Just hope everyone learns from it. Not always bad to have this adversity early in the season.

Love it! Literally laughed too hard at this. Thanks you single handily made this loss easier to handle. And I think I'm going start using the phrase "kick your dog and go to bed" anytime someone is overreacting.
What game where you watching? BDJ was the best ISU player most the game. Edozie gave some spot effort but overall BDJ was the best Cyclone on the floor tonight. All he did was run under the guy without making a play for the ball.
BDJ can't let his emotions get the best of him, but if you're Fred Hoiberg you would much rather have an emotional player who wants to score and win no matter what compared to an emotionless player. Those who have been watching ISU football all season realize how difficult it is to get players who aren't fired up to be out there excited about competing. It's a lot easier to teach a kid who gets fired up to tone it back a notch.
i was watching the game where we got beat...it just ended about 1/2 hour ago...was there another one on?
Hey, you can read into my initial post all you want. I didn't like the foul...and I didn't like his attitude. Others picked up on it as well...so maybe the question should be to you...what game were you watching?
I never indicated he wasn't a great player so let's not turn this into something it's not. It was an observation and an opinion...you don't have to share either.
In case you can't tell, that's Kane gouging the eyes out of a BYU player. Sure glad he isn't on the team anymore, he was a bad man. I don't care how good he was, we don't need that ****.
What I don't understand with the play, is why not just let Layman go up with it, and then make an attempt for the block? He has already shown he can jump through the roof at times, and it seemed to me he would have been in decent position to go up for it. If he then drew the foul, no big deal.
I was at the game behind ISUs bench. It didn't look bad at all at the game. I'm interested to see it on TV.
I was actually ****** they called it intentional but then saw on Twitter that everyone said that was the right call.

Sad part was really that he was close enough he might have had a shot at a block from behind. Still, not a huge deal.
His body language on TV looked like "crap, I need to do something" and he bumped him (on purpose with hands down). Maybe a brain fart? Obviously he could have tried to pop the ball out or tried to block from behind for a normal foul.
For me, it seemed like the punctuation on an overall "blah" night.

They played us like Iowa did last year make their size an advantage by fouling hard and being physical. The difference was the refs weren't calling anything, our only recourse was the Edozer. Teams will try and rattle us again and we need to be ready for it. Glad this happened early.
Honest question, and I ask this because I was feeling the same way you were, if we had no knowledge of BDJ backstory would you have felt the same way or judge each action or his body language so critically? I came to the conclusion that when you're looking for a certain behavior you're going to find it. Is it there? Sure but it is for everyone to varying degrees. I feel like we should give him the benefit of the doubt and try to view him with a clean slate to avoid our own confirmation bias. His language was no different than others, we just have a negative predisposition towards him.

Wild elbow to the face was a basketball play. Officials sort of set precedent with that call
