per Torvik, the last 10 games we've held opponents to 26% shooting from 3.
You beat me to it.
Tre is not the kind of player who has to put up a 15/8 for him to have a good game. He's been just fine in the tournament so far; he hit an absolutely huge shot for us in the Washington State game.
It's now about getting to see guys like BRE get one more game as a reward for all that they've put in to the program.
They'll leave it all out there and that checks the box.
During the WSU game I was speaking sternly to the tv and my Bernadoodle freaked out almost like fireworks were going off...may have to vacate her to a separate room tonight so I don't feel bad! With that said, I am feeling confident about tonight, no way Domask is allowed to back his man down and I feel good about Tamin/Keyshon/Demarion being able to slow Shannon down...you are not going to stop him he is too good you just need to keep him from going off for 30-40.
The same kind of narrative comes up for BRE.
Do people even watch the games and understand that points aren't the whole story?
And, once again, you wrote the exact same damn thing before both of our games in the tournament, and look at how that's turned out.
I would like to give you the benefit of the doubt and think that you keep on writing this as a good luck charm, but since you did your best to crap all over our win against Kansas earlier in the season I have to think you're being serious. But GTFO with this negative energy!
Feeling nervous, anxious, and excited. And I love it! It is so much more fun to be feeling this way versus watching the S16 games with no vested interest.
No matter how this game turns out, I am proud of what this team has accomplished this season. I thought at best this team may sneak into the NCAA tournament, especially after the E$PN Invitational. But this is probably the greatest team ISU has ever had. I've never seen a team play so well as a group. This team doesn't have the one great player, rather they are a collection of very good players who play together and for each other. It has been fun and a privilege to watch this team all season long.
But I'm not ready for the season to end just yet. 78-69 ISU. Let's GO!!!!

It's been working, leave him be
For as much as you haven’t felt good this entire basketball season you might want to get that checked by a doctor.
Was in Lutsen during a ski trip maybe 17 years ago. It was -50 when we got there. Beautiful area though.
I agree with this - there are 3 specific calls that could determine the outcome:
- Hand checks / swipes with guard pressure out top. If they call those on Tamin / Keshon / Curtis it would be a problem
- Bailouts on drives. If they allow Shannon to drive in, initiate contact (esp when the big is straight up) and give him a bailout call or an and-1, he could shoot 10+ FTs and we'll be in trouble
- Block / Charge - We are very good at cutting off drives with set help side defense. When Shannon (or others) go barreling through the help defender, we need to have at least some of those called as charges
Think all the gameday pre game staples are accounted for. Time to rip some throats!
