Let pump the brakes here a bit. The Big 12 is not good this year. We have at least 7-8 more wins in us, at a minimum.

Maybe that's the thing to do... Have 10 fans at the game like tech and get a brainless win. What a ******* **** performance.

Not if we keep playing like the crap that was on display tonight. (and at TCU...and against WV)

Guys better get their s*** straight.

I think as punishment the team should be forced to stay another day in Lubbock.

**Doctor** · 01-23-2013, 10:41 PM

Yeah, when Yale is dropping the hammer on you for a good portion of the game, you've got problems.

This is all coaching.

The talent is there. Fred can't get them to play as a team, which isn't shocking considering his experience and their past.

Fortune 500 companies didn't build their business by hiring all their competitors rejects.

Does this team seam to have a low Basketball IQ? They just do flatout stupid things sometimes.

Even with how bad they played, that seems a tad harsh. I wouldn't wish Lubbock on anyone.

C'mon coach! Pull the QB! Time to make the change! We are, Iowa State!

I think KU was a fluke. There is no way this team comes close to KSU on Saturday. If they do......then where the hell was that team tonight?

It's frustrating because ISU has so much more talent than a team like Tech does. But ISU does not play as a team. They got out-rebounded again tonight! Shows how weak the non-conference really was, since ISU was supposedly one of the leading rebounding teams in the country then.

They simply do not play as a team. KL has slipped back to what he was the first few games. 2 assists tonight. 2 ASSISTS from a 5th year senior PG who has played in the Final Four! Will just looks like he doesn't care a lot of the time.

Losses like these are what keep teams out of the NCAA. It will take some miracle wins from this point on, and no more bad losses at all to get in. I just don't see it happening with this group. The desire, energy and drive is just not there, and I don't think the coaching staff knows how to get it, because if they did they would have done it after the TCU game. They would have had this team ready tonight......which obviously they were not. They were not in the correct frame of mind from the very start.

I honestly think they may be better off next year without some of the seniors around. They may not be as "good" of a record, if you can call this a good record.....but I think they will be more of a team. Unfortunately, they will be lacking in enough talent and experience to do much of anything, imo.

Hold on now! I agree this was a horrible game but I don't think the Kansas game was a fluke at all. How is it a fluke if their best player has to go play his best game of his career and then bank in a three to bring it to overtime. Don't forget that it was at Kansas. But honestly we lost this game because a collection of things were horrible (enthusiasm, refs and shooting). But we all have to remember that we can't do anything about this game now and that it's best for the team and the fans to keep our heads up and to not hide in the corner and keep crying like babies because we lost to Texas Tech. If we do keep dwelling about this game all you doubters will be right because we'll get destroyed be KSU.

I'm as ****** as anyone else about the loss tonight, but damn...there's some real stupidity in this thread tonight.

Even though the year is very young, I'd like to nominate this for the CyBer Award.

I don't know...I feel like there were a couple of moments tonight were our ball movement looked pretty good and crisp (read only a couple of moments, key phrase there), and then other times we go completely brain dead in the same damn game. Like I wrote in another post, tonight was one of those nights where I can't find one single player who played really well. KL and WC had some moments, but ME and GN were garbage, as was our bench. Everyone stunk tonight. It's hard to win road games, even against bad teams like Texas Tech when your whole team plays so badly.

The talent is questionable. We have some guys with athletic ability and some guys with some basketball skills, but we don't have basketball players. The BB IQ of this team is really lacking.

Ejim understands how to play. Niang does too but is short and slow. McGee plays hard and is a good shooter. Once you get past that ...
