If they don't want to be called bad I would consider telling them to stop being bad.

It's honestly amazing how so many on here aren't in reality when it comes to the tourney. Are we playing crappy? Overall yes but tonight showed us a spark even in a loss.
Whether you agree with it or not, and many will die on this hill saying it's not true, we are making the tourney and we won't be worse than an 8/9 seed.

As pathetic you clearly think any kind of criticism of any Iowa State athletic event is, it’s at least equally pathetic the way you sit on some ever-knowing smartass perch slinging smug comments at people in a GAME THREAD. It’s a FAN FORUM. Perhaps CycloneGeriatrics or ApatheticClones, or possibly FlacidCloneBoner.com are better sites for your stupid thoughts. And they are legitimately stupid thoughts most of the time.
And while I defend TJ, I think its fair to question why Tre King didn't play more in the 2nd half. Perplexing.
The worst thing about that sequence was that it prolonged the game. WVU was on the ropes and that 15+ real time minute stoppage in action just allowed them to get their composure back, and the fans fell asleep after. Then the 7 point swing happened. We continued to lead for a few minutes but it was never the same again.
Some years are like that too. Last year ISU got worked pretty good for like 38 minutes by WV and then Brockington came up with the ball and a layup late.
In 2015 ISU had some crazy endings to win until it REALLY mattered.
based on your posts so far tonight i'm assuming you're done watching then for the season?
Definitely lacking talent. But what we’ve gotten from Kunc, Grill and Tre King this year is criminal. Not jumping off the TJ train but situationally we are very below average.
I've seen people suggest lately with the lackluster crowds that we need to get back to high scoring offenses, and I really doubt that's true. But man, you have to have some minimal offensive competence and we just grind to a halt way too often.
Grill and Kunc killed us tonight. Untimely technical, missing key FT, and missing wide open 3pts killed us.
This is true!
But so is the fact that the team has not played very well of late! People are being dramatic, but it's just as dramatic to pretend that there's nothing concerning about the team routinely falling apart down the stretch lately.
He just isn't right right now. Physically, mentality, all of it
A criticism this staff definitely deserves is not trying to post up Osun more down the stretch when WVU went small. I don't understand why he was out on the perimeter as a part of their weave action.
In the long run, talent wins out. We aren't very talented. This roster is EXTREMELY flawed and that's being addressed via recruiting BUT TJ is going to have to be willing to change his style up some because this "hope to hold the opponent in the 50s to win" style isn't ever going to work consistently.
What I said to 3TrueFans, goes for you mostly too. Smug a-holes.
Wait... what did you expect from this season? Are claiming going to 2 Ncaa tournaments after the **** Prohm left is not good enough, and unacceptable.
