Should be getting more from Lipsey, feels like he's not as assertive this season.

He's had shoulder issues and currently has a healing fractured thumb.

If you want customers to continue paying for a “premium” product, it damn well better be premium

I don't think I would consider ESPN+ a premium product. More like a way to throw a bone at fan ases that don't get a lot of time on the mother ship or 2.

I'm thankful for it, because I wouldn't get to see any cyclone basketball since I don't pay for cable

 

[Lewey24]

I’m glad the commercials look just fine though

I know and it shows.

10 assists for us in the first half!

Been some really good passes, and several terrible ones that we somehow still handled.

He's just too dinged up too often. I fear it will never change with him. His style of play is too hard on his body.

 

[madguy30]

No, then you bring Jackson in to replace him. 3 man rotation, not that hard.

And when Jackson gets foul trouble with Jefferson?

Are you assuming the staff hasn't taken a look at these sorts of scenarios?

They could have the worst presentation of all time and would still have millions of customers. Live sports trumps all.

Wasn’t the game in Ames close for the first 30 minutes, too? I remember thinking they were much better than their record showed. But they eventually fell apart and we pulled away.

 

[madguy30]

I know and it shows.

So why wonder why he seems to be more timid?

 

[exCYtable]

Seems like maybe they got the feed fixed at half?

Maybe we can stream on Tubi, they seem to have no technical problems even for the biggest game in sports.

Style of game is different. They were wanting to run it up in Ames. Think they found that uglying the game up doesn't usually bode well for us.

It was just an observation on my part

 

[AlCyJim]

Mine is terrible, almost unwatchable. ESPN+ is such a garbage product

this is the first game mine has been crappy so I will listen to JW

Some really interesting halftime scores in top 25 play so far tonight.

ISU was up 18 at half.

54-36 at the half then

 

[exCYtable]

Gotta have more from Gilbert and Lipsey 2nd half or this will get too close for comfort.

I think if we had an overlapping minutes breakdown, based on positions played during certain times, that would maybe answer a lot of these questions of why some play and some don’t
