You can just tell JW is in his own head. It's about as rough of a cold streak as I can remember seeing.

It's really amazing that game was even close with Joe disappearing completely and no CJ.

...but according to HawkJRP he was averaging 16 points in his last 6 games, so it wasn't fading. The "struggle bus" is real for Joe now!! 34% FG in the last 4 games against ranked opponents.

Honestly I think Garza gets a good whistle most of the time. Especially on the offensive glass. I think the problem is with the physicality he plays with you could probably call a foul on both offense and defense in just about every possession.

Agree. It will be interesting to see how they call games with Lurch in the tourney.

Other guys have picked up the slack with Fredrick out and Weiskamp not shooting well. In the past 3 games without Fredrick, Toussaint is 4-5 from 3, Evelyn is 5-12 , Connor is 4-11, Kriener is 3-9. While 4-11 and 3-9 aren't great, they are enough to keep defenses honest. Everyone else on the team is playing at a high level right now.

Those guys are playing pretty well right now, but I just wonder about the sustainability of it as the competition and stakes get progressively higher.

The hope would be that Joe shoots his way out of it and Frederick gets healthy. Joe had a bad night last night and I'm sure he'd be the first to admit it. It wasn't like the team laid an egg like they did in a couple other tough road games. They just came up short down the stretch. Had a couple chances to hit big shots and didn't do it.

Never thought I would see him shoot this poorly. His shots aren't even close either. When JorBo isn't hitting at least his shots rim out or are back iron and right on target. Wieskamp's shots of late have been bricks and way off. Hopefully he snaps out of it quickly.

That was my takeaway from last night as well. Just not even close on his threes. And not consistent misses either-- short, long, wide.

Yep, been going on for a while now too. Don't know if he has some kind of undisclosed injury affecting him or if he is just in a funk. Whatever it is, he needs to snap out of it. He is too good of a shooter to be this bad right now.

Some ugly shots for sure. He's too good of a shooter for it to go on too long tho. I really think he'll snap out of it and get back on track.

I ended up flipping back and forth between ISU and Iowa. Between Dakich on the Iowa game and the ISU color guy, I had to turn the sound off. They were awful. The ISU color guy had to be the worst of the two. He almost made my ears bleed!!

Agree. McClure was extremely unpolished but his comments about Iowa State feeding the post consistently in the first half and then hardly nothing in the second was spot on. Solo didn't score until there were 4 minutes left.

Wasn't the ISU guy a former Baylor player? For me, Dakich actually has some substantive, informative comments regarding offensive & defensive alignments and strategies.
