It's one game against a bad opponent, but I keep wanting to gush over Dubar. Only had 2 points, but played hard, was a pest on defense, and fought for rebounds, especially on offense. Also has a nice build for a freshman.

I'm excited for all 4 of our freshmen class, but DD stood out.

dubar had 7 pts

Me? So people putting me down all the time means I'm the bad one? Got it.

I question things in life..... always have. I don't just blindly drink the kool-aid. I call it like I see it. So that offends people that only want to hear positive things about ISU all the time.

Sorry, I'm not going to change on that.... that's not who I am. I will praise the good things and question the bad things. If that makes people want to criticize me and put me down.... that's on them.

I wish I could have watched today's game. Sounds like we played a lot better the 2nd half thankfully, and we've definitely got some talent. I think we still have a lot of work to do to get on the "bubble", but I think we're capable of it.

On to the next game!

I question things in life too but it doesn’t make me put every negative thought I have about the Cyclones on a message board

Sounds like Hinson might be back for the second half of this season and all of next. Bloom and Edwards booted that early in the game. I thought he was headed to another team.

Playing the second half, or just returning to the team?

At minimum, the expectation is that he'll be ready to go in 21-22

I thought I’d heard second half of this season. That’s why I was surprised. I thought he was gone for the year. The possibility of adding him late would be a boost.

You call it like you see it, but you didn't actually see the game and question Fosters potential before he even logged a minute. Doesn't seem like you wait to see anything, you just fire away.

I listened to the game on the radio and only questioned things like Bolton flying down the court and launching a three 8 seconds into the shot clock. John and Eric questioned it on the radio too. I was also critical of us coming out and our first 5 shots were all 3's.... and all misses. You don't have to see that kind of stuff to know it's not good basketball.

As for Foster.... I'm going by what Prohm has said... and rumblings about his game from people that have seen him play in high school and in all star games, etc. A lot of people said he's a 7 footer, but doesn't play on the inside much... not even against shorter guys in high school. He liked to shoot 3's a lot in high school. And then defensively, he was kind of slow footed, but could block shots. And a lot of people questioned his desire and effort at times too. That's just scouting report stuff.

He obviously has a TON of potential though. He can be elite if he wants to be. Obviously I'm rooting for him all the way.
So yes.... I call it like I see it (or hear it in this case).

Comparing a close Kentucky game where they were only a 7 pt favorite to Iowa State losing to one of the worst teams in CBB at halftime as a 33 pt favorite is lack of awareness.
How about this one? Are you going to tell me Boeheim is a bad coach?

I didn't watch the game because I am not stupid. But based on twitter observations and things we all should know.

1. Playing a team that has played twice and only plays zone is tough for a team who can't shoot.

2. I don't care if he is bad, you've got to get the ball into Solo more often. And he's got to rebound.

Most of the 3s at the start were open, in rhythm shots that needed to be taken. Johnson forced one, and I think Bolton’s was a step back off the dribble, but he had all the time in the world to get set. Their zone made it difficult to get the ball inside or do the typical ball screens.

Score? time?

So I guess I'll have to subscribe to espn+ if I wnat to see/hear bb this year?
Did that just start this year or last? (replacing cyclone.tv) I wonder if schools like ISU are making more money from espn vs. having their own network?

TuneIn radio app is a free download and it worked like a champ.

Believe what you want about me.... I don't care. I don't think you're a terrible person or fan fwiw.

I cheer for the team, support the players and want everyone to succeed. You take the opposite approach. I don't know if you're a terrible person, but you're sure not much of a fan.
