Jefferson and Jackson were dominant today. Having Curtis and Milan hitting from outside certainly helps, but TCU was no match for the President's inside.
Yes I think that's something that didn't get talked about enough with our recent offensive struggles. Milan back also makes more room for our post players.

15 turnovers today. 18 against both KState and Arizona. 14 against WVU. Not sure why ISU has been so sloppy lately, but I agree with the announcers they have been mostly unforced turnovers. I don't know why Gilbert and Lipsey keep passing the ball to Jackson and Chat immediately off the pick and roll when they are still 15 feet from the basket. Those are pretty much automatic turnovers.

Jefferson and Jackson were very good today. They both have the ability to use their size to create enough space to score and make it look easy.

Thx Rulzzz! Great win today and very much needed. Huge surprise to get Milan back and he played great. Big plus for our team, not so much for our foes.

One game Home win streak. Let's keep it going! :)

Exactly what I wanted to see once Milan came back. His presence is so important to giving the team room to operate. We haven’t been playing well without him, but a big part of it was that.

Turnovers need to improve but they’re trying to share the ball more. Just need to be sharper with the passes and more ready to receive them.

It’s a feature and not a bug at this point. They are tying to force transition offense.

With Lipsey not practicing they are going to have more turnovers during the game.

Once he gets back to practicing with the team instead of just playing game day it will improve

The announcers were saying that lipsey (and Milan) hasn't been practicing. I feel like that certainly wouldn't help guys being on the same page.

Yeah, I think most people have agreed that our problem was larger than Milan being out, and that bit of news was definitely an "oh, that's probably our other problem."

Nit to downplay the much-needed victory today, but the 3 losses were all to much better opponents. Still, it's great to win, even better to hit 80 again and wing by 30.

The turnovers were high and basically auto- points in other games/wins.

They speed themselves up.

Yeah we have had multiple wide open 8-10 footers. just take the little shot instead of making a difficult to catch pass to Jackson, who doesn't have the greatest hands anyways
Really not a very good passing team

honestly it's just not a very good passing team as a whole

Well, we can't play fer sh!t, and turn the ball over too much.
