Now that is some horrible defense no matter how you look at it folks. They would have scored 168 points on us if we had played defense like that all night.
Taylor was getting to the rim at will because we weren't helping off of guys at the 3 point line. Felix and Holmes both made really deep threes. It would really suck to lose a game like this, but I don't know why this should feel like a loss.

Your argument is stupid. A.J. Price turns the ball over less than per game than Lebron James. I guess he should play more than Lebron according to your bogus argument.
I think you are missing the point. ISU is allowing this shooting percentage. Same thing happened at Baylor and TTU. It's not a fluke anymore.
This is a poor defensive team. They are not a final four team.
You're right, we should only get a 3/4 win for this one. So what are we now 4 3/4 - 2 1/4 in the conference now.
Why don't you go have a seat over there and think about what you just said.
...it's a bit much when I started to think this team might have started to turn a new leaf (effort). They looked like a team that wanted to an opponent in their place for about 33 minutes, and then bad habits showed up late.
One thing's for sure: TCU isn't going to come in afraid to play in Hilton Saturday, and CAN beat ISU if those bad habits don't at least start to become less frequent.
Even worse, they went on a 10-2 run in about 1:00 of game time. That would've made it 400-80 if they played like that all nite. I don't think there's any doubt that we're the worst theoretical D team in the country. Also, don't know why, but I blame BDJ for no reason and Royce for not sweating and Clyburn for not showing emotion, and Lucious for a reason I don't remember.
We would not have made 7 in a row on those looks. Hell, both teams would have trouble hitting 7 in a row during warm-ups. They were not wide open, they also were not well-defended.
Our defense will never be great until we have the personnel to put 5 good defenders out there. As frustrating as it is to see UT shoot 10-14 on 3Ps in the second half, we have to give a poor 3P team that shot or else they would murder us down low. A lot if our issues on defense start with defending protecting our small frontcourt.

That is awful -- but it really was the last 3.5 minutes that was completely unacceptable, IMHO. The only thing positive about tonight is the last 3.5 minutes happened AT THE END of the game. Too often, it's been the first 3.5 minutes of our games (& particularly in our losses) that we've played this poorly.
