I made that prediction after the KSU loss, at which point we were 9-3.You got a 3 in there, so there's that...
Who'd you have ISU losing to besides UW-MIlwaukee?

How can you possibly say that. He is a freshman. How many freshman come in and play the point well in their first year? Dang few. Plus, he was playing the point late in the season without a lot of options.
Freshman year is not always a great predictor of a players college career. Even in recent times, people on this board wrote off Naz Long, Matt Thomas, Melvin Ejim - I could go on. Even Monte didn't start on the point until February of his freshman year.
We shall see what the future holds for LW but I see no way to predict where he will play over the next 3 years.
When someone is intentionally doing their best to act and behave like a spectacular ******* and is essentially begging to be ridiculed by doing so I have absolutely no problem giving them what they want.
We received glimpses of how great he'll be next season. Could potentially put up Trey Young-type numbers. That said, really not sure how anyone can predict if he'll ever become a great PG or not. I'll just be content with wherever/however we use him and be grateful for each day he's still a Cyclone (b/c it won't be 3 more years). There were times tonight where he looked truly unstoppable and was definitely the best player on the court, with Bamba being out.
Dang it just a few too many turnovers tonight. Nice effort by the guys tonight. Wiggi and Lard will make a great combo next yr, add back in a healthy NWB plus our additions hopefully we'll be right back in contention.
Tough ending in a tough loss to a tough season.
But, there were some really nice and very bright spots here and there that I hope the guys can look back on with a smile; winning the tournament in the non-conference schedule, beating Iowa and UNI (even if neither team was very good), and thoroughly beating up likely Top 4 seeds in Texas Tech and West Virginia, as well as wins against likely tournament teams like Baylor and Oklahoma.
It's absurd to write, but I seriously think we are the best last-place team in the whole country. Better than the last place teams in the Big Ten, certainly better than Pitt in the ACC, better than the dogs in the Pac 12, better than Ole Miss in the SEC, and better than Depaul, St. John's and G'Town in the Big East.
And yes, that is worth a can of beans in the end, but I really do hope these guys can look back with just a bit of pride at those good moments in a tough season like this. A big thanks to Donovan for the last two seasons, as well as to Hans and Jeff for choosing to be Cyclones.
Onwards and upwards!

Welp
Good to see the team had some fight in them. I think a win in this game would have gone a long ways to soothing pain from a tough season. Let's hope CSP and crew will stew on this in the off season and come back with a vengeance.

I'm not sure any of us know, and probably not easy for the coaches to know for sure either, as to whether LW should be the point guard next year. I think we can all agree we like the ball in his hands as far as a player creating his own shot, getting in the lane and getting fouled, etc. Yet we know the turnovers and decision making needs to improve a lot. What's the real answer?
I don't think you need to tell SP that he should stew on this in the off-season!
Well then you shouldn't complain if we do get to the NIT next year. Somehow I imagine you'll ***** if we are a 7 seed in the NCAA.
Experience, and more talent and experience around him. Hard for any guy, let alone a freshman, to be the obvious focus of the defense (DJ held a lot of defensive focus, but wasn't able to consistently shake the better one on one defenders). Everyone knowing and executing their roles in set plays would be huge as well. Too often a possession devolved into a straight up, beat your man one on one to get a shot up situation. Next year I expect that we'll be able to find and exploit whatever mismatch is on the floor, or whatever the defense is giving us, whether that's with our best guy, or our 5th best guy at any given time.
Is that from some occult ritual that keeps KU on top of the league every year?
that's what happens when Bill Self takes his toupee' off.

Yeah, 2 years outside of the NCAAs is not a program going the right direction.
I don't like any idea of the NIT next year now. It would look even worse next year.
