Solo isn’t on the floor Lewis isn’t on the floor = trash lineups

 

[Malone]

Staff needs to be at lower level. This is just horrendous basketball.

Hanging with them on the boards, only 4 TOs. Only reasons why behind is AU having 6 different guys make 3s (and no, they weren't all wide open) and our typical pitiful shooting. Effect of coaching is negligible.

This doesn't fit the narrative of the board, please delete

I remember fans saying the same about Matt Thomas.

Thomas at least had flashes though and he had high 4 star pedigree

I say this every game -- this is a completely different team if they shot outside at an average level. They'd have 3-4 more wins on that alone.

 

[cygrads]

No words.

But there both white and play basketball at Iowa State, how can they not be the same? Good god it’s like a disease with some people.

No it's about confidence sometimes. Matt openly admitted he had confidence issues at ISU his first year.
It has squat to do with being white and its kinda sad you took that angle.

This isn’t even a Missouri Valley Conference team, holy ****.

Caleb Grill is one of the worst most uninspiring players I’ve ever watched on an Iowa State team.

 

[MeowingCows]

Bolton out for fouls, that's kills us. 15 PPG, often second half player removed.

 

[dirtyninety]

17% on the season as of right now. (19% coming into today)

He's made 5 all season: 3 in the first 2 games, 1 in the loss to seton hall, one in the loss to KU.

Nix-O-meter slightly greater than the Grill-O-meter at 0.170. I think Shawn Dunston could shoot better than these two....and I could have told you that even after the Alabama game which I think we won.

 

[tim_redd]

That is exactly what we have to do, pass up good 3 point shots to try and find an even better shot.

 

[MeowingCows]

That was an incredible pass by Grill.

this is amazing. Kid is a freshman and probably the best all around athlete they have. You will be kissing his ass in 2 years

Couldn't disagree more. The kid is a true freshman that is still trying to find his way. I still think he'll develop into a good player for us.

At least he's out there hustling his rear end off.... wish the same could be said of Nixon.

Bolton out for fouls, that's kills us. 15 PPG, often second half player removed.

Have we had anybody foul out this year? Seems like we leave a lot of fouls on the bench.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Oh **** you, give us the bucket. Let us have something nice

Simeon Carter sits on that throne.

 

[clonedude]

Nixon firing another one immediately..... clank.

I say this every game -- this is a completely different team if they shot outside at an average level. They'd have 3-4 more wins on that alone.

But.. they don't, and it doesnt seem like we have adjusted for that. If you're a bad 3 point shooting team, you probably want to play a bit different than if you're a team that shoots the lights out. We've actually shot more 3s through 18 games this year than last year.
