Best coaching I've seen at ISU! TJ's better than Tim Floyd who's always been my favorite. TJ's a genius!

Don't know if he is best but he is damn good. He gets the absolute most out of every player. Yanking IB in the first half when Texas was raping him was brilliant. Texas players just looking at Beard like "what do we do now"?

When Gave was slumping the defense never suffered and he didn’t force things. That’s a credit to him.

At this point, it's pretty obvious this is a TJ thing. IB today, TX concentrating on taking him out of the game, fouls early, just keeps playing, finding ways to contribute.

Coaching, quality of players TJ wanted, equals new culture.

It’s truly amazing how little we complain about fouls or missed calls. Team just stays focused and moves on to next possession. Conditt does it the most but it’s generally very mild. Love the mindset from this team. Has me very excited about what we could look like with even just a little bit more talent (and I say that with due respect to our team which is obviously talented although many “under the radar” kind of guys).

ISU fans are so great! I'm betting there weren't THAT many empty seats today.

And coach TJ is great also. At the closing of the coaching interview today with John W., he made a point in specifically thanking the fans for turning out (in this mess). He said 'Thank you' more than 3x, and "Thank you, Thank you" at the end, to all fans who showed.

Great job!

Interesting that Marcus Carr doesn't look like half the player he was at Minnesota. I guess that's what happens when you don't get 8-10 games against stifling defenses like Iowa, Northwestern, Nebraska, and Penn State in the Big 12.

I don't know, he was the one guy (well, along with Jones) who I thought were going to turn this game around. Carr is talented.

Great team effort. Hunter is the glue. Jones has really improved. We don’t have a bench, we have 3 starters and a 6 man rotation. “Bench” was awesome today. What’s going on with Jaydon Walker?

Hes a good player but he's nowhere near the offensive threat that can carry a team like he was last year with Minnesota.

I mentioned to my wife during the game that Walker was up, cheering, warm-up off like he was ready if called upon. Culture.
