Nice press with McKay on the point and Cooke under the basket.

 

[State43]

This.

I would argue foul 2 was the first instance and the 4th sealed the deal.

 

[MNclone]

McKay and Nader gave nothing tonight, everyone else gave their all, proud of the guys that gave their all

That is a Bull **** comment

 

[CoKane]

Thanks seniors. Too bad we weren't able to make this a game.

 

[sheepplucker]

Bout how I figured it would go.

 

[Fishhead]

Lemme guess isu will lose to the national champs again

 

[deadeyededric]

Nader and McKay need to find their own way back to Ames! **** poor effort!

 

[MNclone]

We were barely ever within single digits, but we lost because of the refs!!!

It was single digits when Niang had to sit with 4. Completely changed thE game

 

[cycfan]

I'm there already, Fred's inviting them to a Bulls game led to the slow start.

What a moron.

 

[Wally86]

Hope Prohm was taking notes on defense. Thanks for the memories Georges!

 

[simply1]

What a moron.

It was tongue in cheek genius.

 

[CoKane]

Well, we lost this one the same way we lost all season.

How did we blow a lead we didn't get?

 

[Skidoosh]

Honestly felt like we were feeding Niang too much at the beginning, he took like the first 5 shots, missed 4 of them. I get that he is an AA but thats not how we ran the offense before today. If it ain't broke dont fix it.

It seems every game we lost this year we failed to get someone beside Niang and Morris involved. Two things I would like to see next year is better rebounding positioning and more balanced offense. This is not a knock on Georges at all but, as a team, we left too much to him to do. Nader had 4 points. I said all along he had to score in the teens for us to have a chance.

Yeah right.

Other people had looks, they didn't convert, that's on them not Georges.

It's not that hard to change games when you're the ref. All you have to do is call cheap fouls on key players. Or, not call fouls on key players. Or, wait until the player goes into his shot to call a foul. Or, not call a foul, depends on the player I guess. Or, call a travel, or not. If anybody has ever officiated a basketball game beyond the junior high level, they know, deep down, it's not that difficult.

Yeah, we haven't shot well, but a lot of what goes into shooting is "MENTAL". When you are getting the shaft in plants a seed.

I get that. And there were some bad calls in this game. But if you follow every game thread here, it's the "worst officiated game in history". Newsflash - the refs aren't out to get us and we don't get screwed every single game. There are bad call, both ways, in every game. And people want to blame them instead of our defense, rebounding, or anyone not named Georges stepping up offensively.

 

[jsmith86]

Great season. Sad it had to come to an early end.

 

[JWIL4CY]

I'm going to drink until I can't feel feelings anymore

 

[digZ]

Looked like a few of the seniors missed the game also. Don't feel too bad!

Ridiculous. Nobody is happy with the result tonight, but to call out guys who gave their all for ISU is just plain stupid. Feel free to turn in your ISU fan card if you're going to ***** and moan like a little crybaby.
