So, this being an anonymous board makes it the ideal place to call players names (original thread title has since been changed) and act like the world is falling? Do people not expect to get roasted for that?

You're acting like people don't have a choice - that it can't be helped. That people just need a place to vomit out their frustration because they can't control their emotions and it's going to come out somewhere. Guess what age group that sounds like?
To my knowledge no player was called any names? The thread title when I jumped in was something to the affect of "we always choke" so idk what you're talking about.

Sounds good. Woulda thought a relatively anonymous message board would be a good place but I guess @Knownothing better start the dish washer.

He can't. He sent her out to buy more beer.

That's a sexist joke and I do NOT approve. Sincerest apologies to all women everywhere. My Mom would be disappointed in me. Again.

Really bad loss, but we’ve lost to Tech on the road in the past when they were really bad. I’m still hopeful for 12-6.
12-6 while respectable isn't going to get it done. To get where I think we may have to be (14-4), i think we are going to have to steal one now.

Lard is the only credible post defender we have. When he plays well, our ceiling is at it's highest. So yes, Wiggs is our best player then Shayock, we he commits to defense. Hal would be 4th for me

Jacobson was really great on defense on Saturday.

Blocks are not the only way to measure post defense.

I really didn't ever think we had a chance to win the conference. Just not that much is known about this team. They've had more "letdowns" than good wins. Arizona, Iowa, and Drake vs KU and OkSt

Jacobsen, by himself, is not good enough vs bigger stronger post. He was ok against KUs Lawson, but he's not a big guy.

Just how weird the KU game played out had me cautiously optimistic at best.. I didn’t have myself fooled into thinking we were going to just roll big 12 teams.. that was the worst KU has played in years.

I never really got to the point this season where I didn’t think Kansas is going to win it. I still think KU wins the conference. Every single year we think this is finally the year KU doesn’t win it and it never is. It’s only January, KU will figure it out.

I agree that 14-4 is where you need to shoot to win the conference. Though to get there with a loss like this one. This is the type of game KU has continually pulled out to win the league over the last 14 years. We haven't shown the consistency away from home that we would need to be a true contender (Zona, Iowa, Drake, Baylor). Honestly, even with the win Okie Lite wasn't a great performance. We are a good team with a bright future, but we aren't ready to compete for the whole thing yet. I see this as pretty similar to football actually. Enjoy the ride and trust the process.

People need to pump the brakes on this team. There will be a lot of up's/down's this year but this team is a 7 or 8 in the NCAA tourney. We are relying heavily on freshmen and that is going to cause some bumps throughout the season.

Teams that have won championships at ISU have had: upperclassman & toughness

We lack toughness right now and that shows up on the rebounding category.

Not a bad loss, but I have a feeling we will be looking back at this game come beginning of March wishing we had it back.
