I truly don't understand the posters that continually tear down our accomplishments in basketball and football. It is so hard to win bowls and in the NCAA Tournament. Teams benefit from things all of the time, but we're the only school that apparently deserves asterisks next to our wins.
Our wins aren't ever wins because of something or other but our losses are never losses because refs and the league are out to get us lol.
We're 0-0 heading into the tournament!
Its hard to fathom that being totally true when we were within 2 at Allen Fieldhouse and won by double digits practically vs KU at home this season. That's Bill Self by the way. (Does make me wonder tho how it took a whole half of the season for teams to figure out not to guard Tamin and eliminate the P&R.)
I agree. He just flat out should not be playing right now, and its obvious when you watch him move. He's not helping us win.
He looks like his spine is made out of an old broomstick every time he shuffles to the sidelines.
Awesome info. Agree on the scripted subs. I also dont like how often someone like a Shoon or a Kunc have been effective only for the team not to really look to feed them the ball. We've seen something like that happen numerous times from the first to the second half in games.
I saw the stuff with the flagrant and will just assume it was as pivotal as most made it out to be. It's another black eye in about a month long string of antics for Grill.
agreed Grill isn't at 100% but really gutty performance last night. Did not expect to see him in the 2nd half.
Gabe has been an underrated asset in TJ's turnaround of the program. The intensity he brings on the defensive side of the ball has been the spearhead to the defensive resurgence. His shooting and lack of offensive consistency has made us want to rip our hair out at times, but all in all, this team isn't what it has been in either of his 2 years without him present. He is probably one of the best non-pro 4/5 year guys to have put on the uniform over the last decade or so.
It's not really hard to fathom when the 18-19 team beat KU by double digits at home and were within 4 in Lawrence. Sort of like this year. They later went on that same season and beat KU in the championship game to win the Big 12 tourney. Same Bill Self by the way.
I would take a win over KU next week for some tourney hardware wouldn't you?
And by the way, in the last 22 years only 2 ISU coaches have won in Lawrence.
Within or over the last 22 years?
I'm counting Eustachy '01, Morgan '05 and Prohm '17.
Those three are definitely the only ones in the modern era/last 40.
Yeah you are correct. Should have said post LE because everyone knows he owned KU when things were rolling.
And take away the incredible officiating (phantom three game) there is a good chance Morgan would have 2 wins in Lawrence.
Eh, its a business.
I wasn't old enough to really remember those days, but his teams had finished in the bottom half of the conference 6 of his last 8 years, one of the two other years being a tie for 4th\5th. That'll get you pushed out almost anywhere these days. Especially when his last 3 years had 2 seasons where they were 1 game out of last place.
