I get that TJ wants guys who are willing to play D but the comple inability to score at all is not a good look. Once everyone saw what we had they were able to stop defending about half the time and we started losing. Our fortune match ups with Baylor aside, this is tough to watch. Today happens to be the worst example on the biggest stage. Unfortunate for sure. The effort is there, just no offensive skills to even call on.

Agreed, this crap isn't Cyclone basktball. I'm glad he's got us back to respectability but ffs can we get some guys who can actually shoot? Or at the very least get some guys who can make some free throws once in awhile.
With the exception of the 4 week stretch this January is been nothing but watching bricks being thrown up for 2 years now.
Remember when people were mad about the guy on CBS who said ISU was the worst 6 seed maybe in history? He’s looking like a genius right now.
Pitt isn’t even playing good defense. Not at all. This is just zero offensive skill. I like a defense first approach, but this is a defense only approach.
This team is pure guts and it is admirable. But this is really bad basketball.
This is just like our football team last year. If we were even an average scoring team, we’d be up by 10 right now. I get it this is a thrown together team to get over the hump, but our inability to make any shot is mind boggling at this level.
He's good at exactly 0 things. Anyone who argues he's good needs to submit a whole ass essay explaining what he does well because all he really does is turn the ball over and get owned on defense
I'm old enough to remember when CW told us with confidence that this team wasn't going to go through scoring droughts like last year
No. Many of the shots this half were rushed or poor.
We have not been driving, kicking our, and driving. Instead we drive once and, especially early, kept trying to force the ball inside. We have scored no points (or a few) when dumping into the paint and initiating there. So why do we keep doing it?
That's a ******** ******* call. Weak.
Milan is elite. Omaha is serviceable from three. Hamilton has a good looking shot but has struggled in the games I’ve watched. Definitely need a transfer or two that can shoot.
Turnover city for an easy transition bucket for Pitt. This offense is turning the ball over every chance possible.
