Poor Dishon Jackson and Nate Heise seem to be the whipping boys this year.
We have been noticeably worse defensively in each Big 12 game when Dishon is in.

In the game thread I said he feels like a 10-15 minute/game guy max out of frustration that he was getting too much playing time yesterday. Turns out he only played 13 minutes, which goes to show how glaringly bad those minutes were.

Thought Nate made up for his missed shots in a major way defensively and rebounding. No problem with him

Appreciate the moment. Could other players performed better? Of course. It was far from a perfect game for ISU. Heck, MM only had 4 shot attempts.

But ISU won in a thrilling game. Just keep this in mind for the future: Talking negatively will by nature bring the attitude of those around you down. People here were elated about the win. But reading your comments they felt less elated. And people didn’t want to feel this way. Did you say anything that was inaccurate? No. But there is a time and place for constructive criticism. And when people are feeling very happy was not a time for negativity

Just enjoy the win. And hopefully Heise and other players who had some mistakes can redeem themselves

I watched from an ocean villa in Curacao after a morning of golf and pool. No complaints from me.

So many reasons that was the right no call. Did he catch it in the air? Did he have full possession? As you said, was he bumped off?
People tend to focus on the last disputable play when complaining when they should be focusing on the crazy missed free throws by their top shooters.
Are you talking about TT?

No, I'm moving on to Kansas.

I guess it's perfectly fine for posters in the football thread to whine and complain for months upon end about SEC this, Big 10 that, everything is so unfair, Arizona St was national champs if not for the refs, ESPN is biased, im never watching the playoffs again, but anyone says one word about a playing having a poor game then it's not acceptable.
Your takes are that of a toddler.

Yeah, they had a couple of great free throw shooters each miss a free throw down the stretch, but they went 19/24 overall while we went 17/24.

Got a tough win in a tough environment on the road that’s all that matters.
Agree that was a tough environment and man it wad loud. It's hard to believe they dropped their conference opener to CFU there! I think most believe the BIG XII is off some this year, but the conference schedule will still be a meat grinder! :(

A little on scoring by my man Tamin Lipsey:

His scoring and three-point shooting are both down a good bit from last year (10.4 vs. 12.4 points per game, 31.0% vs. 39.1% on threes), but his make-rate on two-point shots is way up (59.1% vs. 44.5%), his free-throw shooting is up (75.0% vs. 70.5%), and his "points per shot" is up a good bit (1.44 vs. 1.24 points/FGA).
