I feel like most people on here don't watch college basketball outside of our games. Kansas got blown out by Temple, Wisconsin loses to Rutgers, Duke drops two in a row while getting blown out at home to Miami, etc. We just split a tough two game road series...all is well

We had some struggles last year as well. Niang had a similar slump. We tend to remember the good performances more readily than the bad performances. We lost six big 12 road games last year.
What's missing...........fans who realize that no matter how good you are, losing by one on the road to a rated conference foe will happen from time to time.
Well said. Our weaknesses...defensive rebounding, free throw shooting, and 10 minute backup pt. guard play to spell Monte. Wins will be well earned and losses tough to take. But we must be proud of this team and program. I remember too well when selection Sunday sucked. BEAT KU!!!!!

His slump last year wasn't this bad.
Exactly. Last year's team got clobbered by WV on the road and lost by double digits to BU. Yeah we lost night's game (by one point) but it proved to me ISU is never out of a ball game.Didn't play particularly well against a ranked team on the road, and somehow had a lead with five seconds left... after beating a ranked team on the road.... does there really need to be something wrong?
This team is not supposed to be at their best yet. They are in a similar spot, if not ahead of past teams. I know this year's goal is to win the conference, instead of 3rd or 4th, but that is still attainable. A win this Saturday's game will go a long ways.
