Why is Nixon allowed to shoot from any decent distance, especially any 3 pt attempts? Even in high school players have places they're allowed to shoot, and places they're not.
It appears that we don't value every single offensive possession.

id honestly just cut my losses with him. Play young guys over him. Admit whatever negligible defensive difference he makes over his replacement is far surpassed by that replacement not going 1-8 or whatever.

Has Grill made a three pointer at all this year? He might be decent down the road at some point, but I am wondering why he is getting more than 5 minutes a game this year. In the 7-8 games I have watched I don't think he has scored a single point.
He's hit 5 on 29 attempts, which makes him the only one with a worse percentage than Nixon on the year, which is really saying something.

Not sure anyone actually expect ISU to win? Why is everyone complaining?

I don't think anyone expected us to win. Its the way we lost that has people upset. Prohm is very predictable and doesn't adapt. We had a promising lineup against Auburn and never tried it once tonight. Why? Lewis played 2 meaningless minutes...why? Nixon and Jacobsen continue to get significant minutes and continue to be terrible. Why do they keep playing? This isn't the first time a Prohm coached team has displayed weird lineup issues.

Regardless of steve's line-ups, coaching, etc. its pretty amazing that:

5 returning players basically didn't improve at all: Lewis, Griffin, Solo/Jake/Conditt
4 recruits: 0-4, 2 transfered before the season even started and we're getting nothing from jackson and grill
1 transfer: nixon, not ready for b12 ball

we're a mess right now.

i know its not proper CF ettiquette to criticize players, but they're all struggling horribly

Because we watched it play out. Because we knew how it would play out but wanted to watch it anyway, desperately hoping for a faint sign of life, some identity, some willpower, anything... and we got what we thought we would.

We watched because we're fanatics

Maybe you did, but most of the people on here watched for fuel to whine with.

With the season going the way it is and Tyrese very likely going pro after this year...what are the chances that Foster changes his mind after seeing this bad season and Iowa doing well and seeing a big like Garza go ballistic every game? Pretty high?

He signed a LOI and I don’t expect us to release him from it to sign with Iowa.
