Re: Iowa State is NOT GOOD.
Have you gone to the other games? Brackins may have had an off night tonight, but he's already a great offensive presence. And he's YOUNG, so he'll grow into it. Garrett is shaping up - he just needs to slow down and get some more experience. Boozer is a little rough still, but he has the desire and raw talent that just needs to be developed. None of us knows how Lucca will/could be, so I'm not going to throw that out there.
Did you expect the true freshman to be performing like seniors already?

I'm for Iowa State whatever the sport and whatever the season and whatever the coach...

New Frontcout/Backcourt
Why do people continue to expect big things from our teams when we're either completely new in the front court one year or the back court the next? We won't be able to compete consistently until we gain some experience and quit losing players to injuries and transferring.
I'm as sick as losing as the next guy...but it just seems like year after year I see us undersized compared to our opponent.
Rant mode off.

Re: The "sky is falling" thread
I actually think 35-40% can win games for us...it's allowing teams to shoot 50% that we are losing games. And Rebounds....Lets Rebound the damn ball. And by the way, McD still gets a pass this season, it's year 3 that I bring out the axe to grind.

Re: Is anybody else concerned about MBB?
No I'm not concerned. We're a young inexperienced team and it showed tonight. I've seen ISU's glory days from Johnny Orr to Larry Eustachy. It took each one of those coaches years to build it.
Yeah I was really disappointed with our rebounding. Our guard play is lousy too. We just are not deep enough yet. It looks ugly right now, but Mcdermott's teaching the right things and you can still look at UNI and see the product of his knowledge.
I think it's going to be a long year for us, but Wes Johnson, Craig Brackins and the rest of the team are going to mature and get better and better. Marcus Fizer did not light the world on fire until really his Junior year.

Look out coachdags, rational thought is under heavy fire tonight!

Re: Is anybody else concerned about MBB?
see, this is the logic I don't necessarily agree with. A coach having success at one school doesn't automatically translate into success at the next. I see us not getting the recruits we need (especially guards and posts) and lack of fundamentals like attacking the hoop, rebounding, turnover control, free throws, etc. Call me crazy but I am truly concerned about the immediate (next 5 years) future of ISU hoops. The best time to get big time recruits is often immediately after a coaching change and we have Wesley. We need a PG and post BAD!!!

Re: Is anybody else concerned about MBB?
I could accept it a little easier last year due to new system, new players and all. This year we have a bunch of new players but the few players that returned should have the system down and I would like to believe we have better caliber players than UNI. I guess I'm getting tired of losing to Valley teams!:sad:

You are crazy... Craig Brackins is a stud. Diante Garrett is also pretty good. They're both freshman..

I forgot you give your valuable time to this message board. That will help us win a few games.
