Underachieving, this team is built to challenge Kansas for a Big 12 title and at least get a 4 seed.

We aren’t really relying on freshmen. We have three 5th year seniors, a 4th year junior, a true junior, and three sophomores. We have more experience and starts on the roster than nearly anyone. Blaming ups/downs on freshmen is silly given Haliburton has been very consistent (up) and steady. THT is a wallflower since Maui, and we have experienced, quality replacements. Our ups/downs are due to the program being rooted in the offense first culture going back a long ways.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.
Who wouldn't have signed up for 2-1 to start out conference play at the end of December?
I would not have. I would have signed up for 3-0 which we should be if we took care of business. I think we have the talent to make a big 12 regular season run. We can't crap the bed like we did last night. Someone needs to become a leader and hold everyone accountable.
I would have taken 2-1 in a heartbeat when we started out with two road games, one in a place we never win and Kansas at home
We always matchup well with Kansas, especially in Hilton and with Azubuke out there is a reason we were favored.
Okie St has the least amount of talent and fan support in the leauge so championship teams win those games.
Baylor lost in front of a capacity crowd of parents and cheerleaders to Stephen F Austin and Texas Southern, so I dont know why expecting this group of players to get out of Wacko with a win was such an afterthought.
Interesting. There are already two people that wouldn't have signed up with 2-1 through 3 games. More than I thought honestly

Not this year, it isn’t.
If not this year then when?Shayok and NWB arent magically getting eligibility back, we have three other guys showing up on draft boards that wont be here very long.
Is Lard? Last year we had issues while playing both Young and Lard. Clark went for 16 and 15 against us in Ames.Jacobsen, by himself, is not good enough vs bigger stronger post. He was ok against KUs Lawson, but he's not a big guy.
