Lets just hope Iowa's guard squad is as bad as ours. If so I think we have a shot.

I really hope we see BIG improvements in our basketball program quick. Because one of the more devastating things that could happen would be a 5 star in the making sitting in our backyard turning us down. And it is going to be hard for him to pick the good guys over the Kansas of the world if we don't make huge improvements!!

I'm guessing your guess is wrong. Coaches should get three years to build their team, and in this case, it should be 4. I will be right there asking for a coaching change when GMac has a senior class he recruited go through his system, if they are unsuccessful.

Iowa had 29 turnovers at home against Lousiana Monroe.

Their guards are better scorers, though.

The line in that game is going to be VERY interesting.

Ok, we all need to hold hands and start singing Kum Ba Yah or some other feel good song. Brian - come back to the light, come back to the light!

My avatar is a pic I took from my phone camera at the spring game. Gotta love Cy on a bike.

Have you seen Iowa play?!? Plus it's in Hilton (even though that hasn't mattered much)

We may need a couple more Iowa players to pass out in a bathroom stall.

Ooh, that could be a good chant for the Iowa game...

"Bathroom Stall Bohall" *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap*

Re: MBB: Meltdown thread

A few random thoughts.

I agree that college basketball is a guards game, but it is very frustrating that we missed so badly in the recruitment of guards. BP and SH both walk ons are starting ahead of all the scholarship guards. It is very frustrating that amongst Brister, Boozer and Garrett none of them have shown enough to beat out the walkons. Additionally Brister is already gone, and Boozer only sees time in mop up situations.

It is very disturbing that this team is constantly getting pounded on the glass. We have enough talent in the front court that this shouldn't be happening.

I don't like the coaching philosophy where players can sit out practice due to injury and still play in the games. This is a dangerous precedent that can lead to chemistry issues and lack of toughness. Teams play as they practice if a player isn't able to go in practice then they shouldn't be rewarded with playing time. This in no way is a knock on injured players.

There's a storm brewin', and it's named Cyclone Gene.

I've been following ISU sports since 1983. This is the worst BB team that we have fielded in that entire timeframe. The guard play is absolutely horrible. Bryan Petersen and Sean Haluska should never see the court, but for some reason ISU can not retain guards. I recall many people (*****, Tirrell, etc) blaming LE for all of the attrition. Well, LE is long gone and still we are 'short handed'.

I am convinced that ISU has a tradition of losing in BB and FB because patience has too long been the byword for excusing lousy performance. Too many years are written off because it is a no coach or someone is hurt or some other excuse. Under no circumstances should ISU ever lose by 35 to DRAKE.

I agree with what you said. But we still do not lose to Drake. At least not like that. Ever. Drake cannot own us like that. 0-12 in the Big 12 I can see. But Iowa State cannot lose to Drake by 30 and expect anything great on the horizon.
