As much as I liked our effort today as well, it only gets you so far.
Effort and Hustle are aspects of the game you don't coach. You ask your players to give their all to the school, fans, team, etc.
We are losing because of the things you do coach.
All I got to say

Better effort today, but still so frustrating.
GMac just does not fire this team up to start 2nd halves, and he is always out-coached at the start of 2nd halves. The other coach seems to make adjustments if he is ahead or behind, so why not GMac? Team just always seems to come out flat. Time to change the routine some how.
Rebounding was better.....but they still need to learn to grab the damn thing, and not tip it around like it is a volleyball. They all do it........just watch. I hope they are not being coached to do that for some odd reason.
At least the last few games they have started making free throws. That is encouraging if they can keep it up. KSU fouls a lot, and unfortunately today, ISU fell into the trap of fouling them too. The opposing team should never out-score the home team at the free throw line. Can't win that way.
DG cannot play defense. At all. At least not against the opposing teams PG. He just can't keep up with the quickness of the other guards. Too slow to play help defense and get back to cover his man, so Clemente scored double his average today, and shot 75% from 3 point range.
Like I have said before, ISU does not guard the 3 point shot well at all...and that was the case today especially with Clemente.
If the 2nd half had started better, ISU could have been in this game. Can't let a team get a 17-4 run on you to start the half. Just can't happen.

Wait a minute. The last few weeks this board was pinning the lack of effort on McDermott. Now its not the coach who does it? If you are going to kill McDermott for them playing lathargic earlier, you can't say that he had nothing to do with today's great effort.
Mac seems painfully shy - even in the pre-game, when he and the team walked down the steps, he had his head down and hardly made eye contact with fans as he shook their hands.
