For all that TJ does well, fatigue management isn’t one of them. Our legs look gassed. Shots are all short. Defensive rotations slow. Getting beat on the glass. We had capable dudes in Watson and Nojus getting DNPs against scrubs while starters played 30+ minutes. This happens every year and I just don’t get it. He just beats them into the ground.
I don't see how 30mins in Dec matter. But why not try more Watson tonight (guessing no offense) or some Nojus to give a spark and rest

Needed Milan and Tamin to score more with Gilbert out

We are good. Still a final four caliber team. Haven’t had anything go our way in weeks. Stay the course.
You being sarcastic? Good at what? When was the last time you nodded your head and said man this team is tough ?

There were moments in this game where some guys tried to pick up the energy and effort, but the others never got it in gear. If Lipsey can’t step up to lead the team, someone else needs to. The problem is that the Cyclones have too many role players and not enough guys with the refuse to lose attitude.
Keshon is our attitude guy. Need to get him back healthy

About what exactly?

They could be playing amazing basketball entering the tournament and still lose.

Kind of a weird team but we'll see what happens in a month.
Arizona, BYU an at K-State.

I have more faith in our Women's team right now and that is saying something.
