I thought he should have been given more run early. He was really good his first shift.

Hell be back if TJ can't find anyone better. That's really all it boils down to.h
Full disclosure I haven’t read any of this thread. Just wanted to say congrats on a hell of a turnaround and a great season. A few bounces go your way and it’s a KU rematch and anything can happen at that point. Otz seems like he knows what he is doing - not what I’m looking for! Anyway congrats on your season. Had to be a fun ride!
Tj going to have to make some tough decisions asking people who made good contributions this year to move on, but I would gladly roll with Jaz for another year.
Tough game. Kudos to Miami for pressuring us and never letting us get an ounce of rhythm.
We just never looked comfortable and Miami pounced on us. Great season, fellas.

This was such a weird season, but I was so happy to care about basketball again. I love this team, despite the shortcomings on the offense end. It will be a very interesting offseason to see who stays, who goes, and who is added to this roster. Unbelievable year, shattering all expectations. Every fan and every one associated with ISU basketball has to be proud of what was accomplished.
Maybe. Maybe not. I interpret this as Jaz having options. He would be willing to come back if coach wants him, if true. That speaks a lot right there about culture, hard work, and ultimately enjoying the season, coaches and teammates.
If he defers to coach having or wanting other plans not including him, it means he is also OK with that and will find success elsewhere.
Looks like a run of the mill return to the mean after two uncharacteristically bad shooting games.
Need to go get players that can score not just defense without scoring. Hunter needs to spend time in the gym and learn to protect the ball and hit a decent percentage of 3. That’s what got Monte to get paid. You can be a good pg but if you can’t protect the balls or hit occasional 3s then you are in trouble. Tre Jackson need to transfer to a mid major. He just doesn’t have it. The little minutes he was given he was disaster and turn the ball over. Jones need to get better and dominate the paint. Anyways good season but this coach should build on this. He just needs some shooters and Hunter to improve on the ball protection and 3.
I'd be curious to know what kinds of conversations were had with any of the transfers. I can't imagine anyone who transferred in with 2 or more seasons of eligibility remaining is really interested in transferring out and sitting out a year.
And ISU had to improve from their recent offensive issues too and it just didn't happen.
Miami’s quickness was something this group hadn’t really seen this year.
Tech, Kansas, etc were big physical and athletic, but the scramble d they played, and the speed of their offense was different.
I thought Moore’s long 3 from about 28 feet, after the offensive rebound on his miss on the first long 3, got Miami settled. We had cut the lead to one to start the second half, and he took what appeared to be two terrible shots, that second one falling got them back on track.
Tyrese with so many great pg skills. Now.....as often as he gets into the paint, he's going to have to pull up and hit a few jump shots too. I'm more interested in that part of his game improving (along with finishing thru contact at the rim) than his 3 pt. shooting.
There were several moments where it was just Miami's night and that was one of them and I'm not convinced there was much ISU could do.
Yeah the turnovers out top only hurt but it felt like Miami would have found some other way to extend the lead.
Can't believe I watched that whole game and didn't pay attention to who was guarding Brockington. Was it mainly the same Miami guy? Or did several do it? Because while other teams have denied him plenty, I haven't seen anyone speed him up to the point he was this ineffective.
Felt like he’s struggled with the mid range and handles in the lane for several games to me.
