ISU doesn't look like anything special but they're winning these games handedly at least.
Two years ago they got lit up by UW-Milwaukee.
I’d vote for Solo for what he did in his 20 min
If we can get in the high 20s low 30s for 3pt%, this team will be a tough out.
Solomon Young was very efficient on offense and the defense in the post is significantly better when he is in, as well.
Tyrese making it look easy out there.
Happy to see contributions from everyone who played.

Yep, Solo did his thing tonight. Jacobson seemed quiet. Big George brining the shot alteration and blocking game tonight.
Please, let this team get hot in the tourney, in particular against Michigan.

going into tonight they were around 32%, last years team for the season was around 36.5%
Tonight's performance will drag them down some but it really is not that different of a start vs last year..
Last year during this time in November the 3 games 3PT shooting percentage Mizzou 32%, Texas Southern 30%, Arizona 16.7 %
Even that 16-17 had some bad shooting performances in November
Mt St Mary's 25%
Savannah St. 30%
Indiana St 32%
I don't think this team has as high of upside from 3 as a couple of those above, but not going to panic about some bad shooting early on.
Seems to be kind of a Prohm team trend.
Going into the game tonight they were 28.4% from 3. After tonight they are 27.2% from 3.

You are right still pretty much the same numbers as I quoted if you average out.
Lets see what the shot %look like in the next 3..
Apparently not the guy trying to shoot 5 threes in 35 seconds at tonight’s game.
Probably been stated somewhere already, but it appears Nixon will be the obligatory CF punching bag this season. Already compared to Beverly.
Personally, I like his defense and ball-handling and have a hard time seeing why his shooting is more critiqued then all our other brick layers.

Jacobson not being able to score a FG on a lesser opponent like Southern Miss is a little concerning.
For me, too many of the 3's that Bolton and Nixon took just had bad form or not shooting in rhythm. Bolton jumps towards the basket with a lot of his three's. We did better also when it was a catch and shoot three as opposed to the "I'm wide open from 27 feet out maybe I should shoot it instead of look for a better shot" three.
Good points and it is too early to react to "small sample size theater".
For reference, the 2018 team was 29/98 (29.6%) in 3 pt FGs after 4 games. Through 4 games, the 2019 team is 28/103 (27.2%) 3 pt FGs.
ISU has capable shooters. It will just take some time before players figure out roles and the offense gets in a flow. Usually non-conference tourneys are where you really get to see the ceiling (or floor) of a team.
