John Walters quote on the post game after asking Tamin about the grind of a 29 game schedule...."well, it beats digging a ditch." I guess that's some perspective.
Flagrant 2 -> ISU ballPlease excuse my ignorance but in the flagrant 2 foul on WV did the technical on Grill negate Iowa State getting the ball like the rules say? I can see them getting free throws but the ball too?
Kunc is good when 3 point shot is falling . When 3 pt is not falling like tonight, he is a liability on both offense and defenseHis energy was so good the first half even Settles was complimentary. Jaz took his minutes second half despite not really contributing anything.
Dude I agree with you that a lot of the ranting is over the top but this team looked like the best team in the conference after 7 games. Right now they are the worst team in the conference heading into the post season. It really has been an epic collapse.
The whole thing helped WV, thru we’re back on their feet and we’re able to recoup a bit after that. Even though we did get back up by 7.At the time I defended Jaz and Caleb during the scrum. And while I wont blame them, they also have to know when you play West Virginia they're going to take cheap shots and play dirty. The coaches preach staying composed with the refs, but they didn't stay composed against the competition knowing West Virginia is a dirty team.
Flagrant 2 -> ISU ball
Dead-ball offsetting technicals -> ISU ball
Grill technical -> WVU ball
And I said that at the time. I was here telling everyone to calm down because we weren't that team. Almost like yall should listen to me more because I call this **** way in advanceSo readjusted expectations...
This team never had the talent to compete at the top of the Big 12. TJs been pretty good, but that would be HOF ****.
Agree. Though to Lipseys credit, it's not his fault he's the best ball handler.I hate to rag on Lipsey because he does a lot of good things but I don’t think it can be understated how bad having your primary ball handler being absolutely no threat to score outside 5 feet screws up our offense.
Not to upset because truthfully I figured before the season this is more the team we would be. Play tough defense and be able to stay in games but not exactly the offensive ability to get W's. We played above our potential early in the year and the guys deserve credit for that.
Bottom line is in TJ's first 2 years have to patch together a roster until he can get some long term studs is going to go to back to back ncaa tourney's.
This was a house money year.
I’m so thankful this site has a select chosen few self-designated arbiters of gameday thread decorum. Thanks for your service!There legit are people that just should wait until the next day to watch or just catch a recap.
Some of these games wreck people emotionally.
Yeah it was unforunate all around. I don't blame Kunc for reacting or Grill sticking up for his teammate, but at the same time you have to know West Virginia plays dirty and wants to bait you. Have to be smarter ultimately.The whole thing helped WV, thru we’re back on their feet and we’re able to recoup a bit after that. Even though we did get back up by 7.
It really is amazing to me that we'll **** our pants all over the court/field and then people come on here and are appalled other people are madI’m so thankful this site has a select chosen few self-designated arbiters of gameday thread decorum. Thanks for your service!
If we’re living in a world where @CoKane is telling people to calm down then all hope is lost.And I said that at the time. I was here telling everyone to calm down because we weren't that team. Almost like yall should listen to me more because I call this **** way in advance
Where it becomes an issue for me is the constant blowing leads, home losses lesser teams, and having teams show up wanting to clown on you and just enacting their wills with ease. That's where it goes to unacceptable for me
