Seems like our defensive plan is to sag and take away drives. We’re not contesting any of their deep shots, but fortunately they’re not making many.

We didn't score in the final 4 mins. I guess the strategy was to attack and draw fouls but didn't work.

We need to make adjustments on how to attack the paint in the second half. We need more player movement and more 3 balls.

Goodness, no Maggie, 1/2 of Scott and playing a bunch of freshman and still up. But the last 4 min was concerning, A&M figured something out, see how Bill responds.

I think an advantage we have is this is our 2nd game at the dome. A&M is having to adjust to a dome after playing their first round game in a basketball arena.

ISU really struggling to beat their defender to the basket. Cut off almost every time. Someone has to figure out how to get that done.

When you’re double teamed someone else is open. Oh, and always look at the shot clock.

The officials are letting them play, that usually does not favor us. We are usually the more technical team, not the tougher team. We'll see if they can pull it out. Can't fault their effort. TAM has some good ball players with nice drives and footwork.

Right now aTm is too big and athletic in the paint. If we keep turning it over or getting blocked, I'd rather we shot more 3 balls or midrange. We need to move the ball in the perimeter and create more 3-pt opportunities. If we miss, there's a chance for long offensive rebounds. I hope the coaching staff makes the adjustment.

Stay aggressive and keep fighting.
