Nope, he has some leg disease. I don't know if he thinks he can draw a foul that way or something like that but it isn't working. Its really annoying.

Predictions on a final score? Mine is KSU 62- ISU 51

DG game log, he's 1 for 11 in his last 3 games on 3's plus 0 for 2 tonight. Not his shot so I'd rather see him drive it because at least then he might get fouled.

When you don't have an offensive threat other than Brackins, the other team can put 5 guys with at least a foot in the lane.

Why are all of our guards one dimensional? They can either shoot or drive definetly not both. DG, Buck can only drive. And Petey, Lucca and Eik can only shoot. Every other big 12 team seems to find guys that can do both.

Please DG stop shooting outside shots!

i agree, diante should not be shooting threes unless he's playing out of his mind and it's in rythym. i don't think garrett is playing that bad, it's just that his jumper isn't falling like it was on saturday and they're doubling him when he tries to drive. imo, he's doing a good job of kicking it out after his drive, the shots just aren't falling. McDermott: FREE LUCCA

ISU has 26 shot attempts to KSU's 33. Need to narrow that gap, or at least not let it grow in the second half...or shoot better than 30% while keeping KSU at 30%.

Just tuned in, anyone feel like giving a quick recap of the first half?

I suppose Mac could take a time out everytime DG tries to throw the full court pass, or Lucca takes a quick 3 (clank) or Brackins decides not to post on the block, but continues to shoot fade aways.....? we get what 5 timeouts a half...?

I garuntee you, that is not what these young men are taught at practice......when the lights come on our execution is poor......

As a Coach with not enough bench talent all you can do is keep preaching and working.....this team is capable of execution, but the last 10 minutes was hard to watch

Don't lose faith my Cyclone breatheren.

Coach has the capability of making some of the most successful, tactical half-time adjustments of any coach today.

Got out to a very quick start. We were up by 8 at one point and then missed our last 11 shots going into halftime.

KState's defense is killing us right now. DG can't get into the lane and is settling for 3's.

I couldn't disagree more with this. What big second half comebacks have we had?

another big key was lucca getting two fouls and sitting during the last ten minutes of the half which really hurt us
