Naz playing hero ball. Ugly, ugly game. We have been tried two times this year and lost them both. Lots of learning opportunities for this team and I'm really excited to start conference play!

Bad Loss .

 

[CapnCy]

Practice those freethrows this week...

 

[Jsievers24]

Yeah we proved Maryland wasn't a fluke. We just go on unbelievable cold streaks.

 

[cyclonedave25]

****. We didn't even look like a top 50 team tonight

 

[marothisu]

SC is good - we always have problems with above average defensive teams that have more than one big man. Nothing has really changed

 

[Dandy]

Why are we shooting the three?

Because that's how Hoiball works and that's who we are?

 

[CyGuy5]

I miss 2013/2104. We found a way to win these close ones.

This team is just as good as last years team. We just didn't have a will to win tonight

 

[cycloneworld]

Hey guess what happens when we play hero ball???

 

[Mtowncyclone13]

This team is too talented to be losing to bad teams like this.

If you lose to the only good teams you play it says something about you.

Long was miserable tonight...but he certainly wasn't alone. Poetic for him to turn that ball over in that spot. Congrats to Frank Martin and USC, they thoroughly beat us tonight. Score doesn't tell the story

Who else would you want to take that shot?

 

[bpmdu]

Certainly looks like this is an overrated team at this point in time. Still struggling to win against anyone decent.

 

[Dryburn]

Losing is not such a bad thing.....most everyone loses.....but when you lose looking like this team did tonight....that is bad. They may not be as good as we thought.

 

[CyArob]

Fluky kind of game.

 

[clonedude]

Looks like Hoiberg called for the three ball from Naz there which I think was the wrong call.

Yeah, we didn't need a 3 there at all. Dumb.

And allowing about 20-30 secs to go off the clock in the final minute was beyond stupid as well IMO. We needed to make the game longer at that point and get more possessions.

Just a horrible game all the way around. I can't ever see us winning any game where we make one 3 pointer.

Everyone should be ashamed, including the coaches.

 

[Erik4Cy]

We prove yet again we are a top 25 team, but not top 10 worthy. Always seem to find a way to lose once we play someone with a pulse after cracking top 10.

 

[GTO]

Meltdown time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ISUTex]

****. We didn't even look like a top 50 team tonight

1-16 from three and 14 missed free throws. Lose by 4? To South Carolina? Dude. If we weren'te a top 10 team we would've lost by 30.

 

[Scott34]

So pis*** off its not even funny. 1-15 from 3 point land and about 50% from the line. You won't win games doing that.
