Needs to make his mind up faster IMO. He spends too much time bumping 3 or 4 times. Gonna be more hands in your face when you don't just make a decision.

True, but I don’t think he’s looking less skilled than he has all year though. That’s been happening, like you said, all year
I am only responding to who responds to to my original post and will gladly respond back.
You have no obligation to respond to my posts but I will respond back. I will die on the hill that complaining about refs is weak **** (our own coach thinks the same and our players reflect that).
Especially in a game where we clearly played our worst game of the season. We deserved to lose today and I expect a bounce back next week.
Carry on and ignore my posts about refs if you don’t agree.
And honestly WV was playing at home on Jerry West day with all his family there.
It added to what was a very good home court advantage

7 of the top 10 teams lost once this week. And only one team in the nation has one loss. We are still a top team.
We could easily lose a couple more this season. Such is the life on the road. It will be ok.

ISU didn't seem prepared to handle the super-physical no-whistle defense. Now they've seen it, and I hope they can learn from this, because they will probably see it again. If ISU runs into a team that needs to make something happen to get a tourney bid, or a struggling team with nothing to lose, particularly if it is a home game for said opponent, I would not at all be surprised to see such an opponent give the super-physical defense a try, and make the refs blow the whistles.
Now, if ISU can make the next opponent who tries this pay for it, it might discourage others from trying it.

So you have seen Cyclone Sports SINCE, pulls out calendar, 2001 at best, more than likely, more like 2008-2010 before you realized what the big people were talking about.
I'm sorry, you do not qualify. Start in the early 80s after a little fun in the late 70s in football and when getting INTO the NCAA Tourney was always a 'goal'.
2001 on is a walk in the park compared to those days.
I had company over during the game (didn't stop me from watching) and didn't get to read through the whole game thread, so this is likely beating a dead horse at this point...but 1/17 from 3 and 14 turnovers on the road isn't going to get it done. We can still finish with 1 loss in conference and I think this team can actually do that. Not saying they will, but they have the ability to, if all goes well.
I think today really showed how we missed Milan. They overplayed passing lanes and doubled down on post dumps bigtime….should have created open threes with a bit of ball movement. I think the high post screens encourage dribble penetration in the designed situations, but honestly if its not a designed set, excessive dribbling on the perimeter is turnover bait.
Houston won by 1 on the rd to UCF
Streaking Arizona lost on rd by 16 at Tech
Oklahoma State beat Colorado by 10 at home
Flush it and move on

Season loss totals by the last 10 national champions: 3, 8, 6, 2, 3, 4, 7, 5, 4, 8.
We are just fine.
I do t disagree that we missed Milan. Statistically speaking you’d expect us to have a few more 3s go down if he played.
But I don’t think the shots were the problem - meaning that overwhelming majority of them were good looks. We just could not make any.
He's still a legit threat from the outside though. It changes a lot of things besides his scoring.
And a guy on the floor that makes almost half of his attempts may have helped make a few more and possibly change their defensive approach to a degree...agree tho, just a bad night
You aren't beaten down enough.
And, do you expect to play perfect games from here on out? We will win all the rest of our conference games? Basketball is like this. Upsets happen constantly, throughout the season.
Let's see how we respond after this game.
I'm not upset with this loss. I knew this would be a tough game going in and we were not going undefeated in the Big 12 so a loss was inevitable. WVU already beat 3 ranked teams coming in so I do not view this as a bad loss. They did not let us get into a rhythm offensively and we didn't finish near the basket like we usually do. It's one of those games that you tip your cap, study the film and move onto the next game.
very specifically it was the no whistle ultra aggressive way WVU was allowed to play the pick and roll at the top of the key. that was what kept ISU out of sorts.
I was at a bar with no audio on, but since when does Daren Devries play this style of basktball? I've seen him many times at Drake and they played uptempo and weren't physical at all.
This reminded me of thre Huggins teams where they foul all the time so the refs can't call everything. I honestly lost alot of respect for Devires today, that's garbage basketball.
