A year ago, Lipsey was playing against Marshalltown and DM North and this year, he is starting in the toughest conference in college basketball and is probably the best freshman PG we’ve ever had. Can’t imagine where we would be without him.
Let’s talk point guards

We really need to start testing people before they get their permit.

They come out of the woodwork after any loss. Honestly so many of these asshats I have never seen post on here except when we lose.
You must not know who we got coming next year, huh? We won't be needing Lipsey to score.... just bring the ball up and distribute.
One, a twooo...Threeee! CRUNCH...3.
Oh, wait, that's how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. Nm
Personally I think todays loss had more to do with our two senior guards going 6-30 and 3-16 from 3 than anything Lipsey did.
Lipsey with a year of Big 12 play under his belt
Hard to say what we'll do next year. There's going to be pg controversy. Who starts Lipsey or Williams? I fully expected Williams to start this year, and Lipsey maybe back him up. Lipsey stepping up like he has is impressive! Year with the coaches and that outside shot should come around. Watch out then. I still think Williams starts next year, but both will be on the floor at the same time alot. We pick up another combo guard like Holmes and we're loaded at pg.
Lipsey has done well with stepping in and playing earlier than expected. For sure. I like him as a player. But why overhype things. He isn't the best freshman point guard we have ever had at ISU, Monte Morris was better. Lipsey is 97th in country for Assist to Turnover ratio. He plays scrappy defense, he can drive the ball and finish, and he isn't afraid of the moment. Those bode well for him becoming a much better player in the future. But we if we want to win on the road next year, he needs to take care of the ball better. 6 turnovers today, 5 at WV, and 5 at TT. All three games where a turnover or two makes a big difference. One thing that handicapps Lipsey is our team just doesn't have a lot of scoring talent. You put some better shooters around Lipsey and he will be fine as a PG next year. Just take care of the ball.
I haven’t seen anyone say he’s the best freshman PG we’ve ever had but he absolutely is one of the best we’ve had and that’s not up for debate.
1. I think Kane was our point Morris’ freshman year. I don’t think he started until later in the year and then started with Kane.
2. Lipsey A/TO ratio would be a lot better if team shot better overall.
3. As an elderly heterosexual woman, I find it odd that I am the first to suggest JLH is all that can save this thread. Maybe there are a plethora of Clooney gifs out there somewhere.
Lol at everyone going over season stats. A PG shouldn’t turn the ball over twice under 2 to play. Even if the team is shatting itself at shooting it gives you zero chance to score. Will lipsey be a good offensive threat next year??
Our fan base would get a huge upgrade without you
It’s honestly a good question. I’m not bashing him. I just think theirs better options. He plays hard. Defends great. But he has mental lapses and has zero offense. When a defensive player doesn’t have to guard him at the perimeter and can shadow someone else thats not a good situation to be in on offense.
And yet I have seen all American guards turn it over late in the game. I really think the worst poster are those who take 2 minutes out of the entire season to question a kids ability.
A lot of the guys he is playing against are 4 or even 5 years older than him. Playing in the best league in the country and team is in top half of the league.
Team was picked 8th in the league. Personally think the kid has overachieved
Is what it is I guess

ZRF has a cousin or an alternate.
