I think we are. Hoping the other King is a difference maker.

I would be shocked fwiw. Not down on the team, but that is a huge ask losing Hunter and Brock.

On a side note…. Lipsey is an absolute stud.

Go take off the eyeliner and black nail polish and come back when you grow up.

No idea what that even means? But if it makes you feel macho and better about your life…. then I’m happy for you!

Grill firing up his inner Will Clyburn.

Kunc has missed just as many 3pt shots as Grill…

I never said anything about Kunc. Grill is a 32% career 3 point shooter. We don’t need him chucking 3’s. He’s much more valuable being a Dustin Hoguesque guard.

Was the plan for the final 10 minutes to just f*** around?

UWM played like a team that got housed and was redeeming themselves.

ISU's decent but they'll struggle plenty this year.

First moving screen of the game after 39 1/2 minutes of nothing but that. A better test than they've had. Pretty disjointed on offense, but effort and defense made sure it was never really a game.

JFC. Endless.

Personally I'll stick to .500ish overall. Mayyybe NIT.

They'll drop a couple in non-conference and I don't think the Big 12 will be as strong to help with a bid.

That’s it? Why are you so down on this team? I think they could make the tourney. Defense is very good and I think the offense will improve as the season goes on.

Well that was thoroughly enjoyable. Washed away the odor of yesterday.

If I'm a coach I'm liking a game to go this way before this next week.

Positive is when it got back down to 11 ISU extended the lead. I've seen much worse over the last 10 years, haha.

Is Eli King a 3 point shooter? Why's he not getting any playing time?... Grill just isn't what the coach thinks he is..

 

[clonebb]

Lipsey did airball a wide open 3. We just him to be Brian Pearson, not Monte.

It was not pretty firm either.

 

[CyNews]

Grill is 17% from three this year, Kunc is 40%. Grill shouldn't be shooting as many threes as he does if he's gonna shoot that poorly.

He will be fine. Did you miss the highlight dunks?

Down on them? ISU might go 7-11 again this year in the Big 12 but it won't be as meaningful, and dropping a couple of non-con games it's not the same outcome.

Perhaps Tre King add something. Love how hard they play so hopefully I'm off.

 

[Frak]

Holy crap Grill just launching away. I’d say the defensive blueprint is out.

 

[CyNews]

Not much to be encouraged about after watching this game. Robert Jones play is the highlight. We still can’t shoot 3’s and just look bad.

Give me a break. Tough hoops is pretty cool.

 

[clonebb]

King won’t help much without guards that can shoot.

 

[mb7299]

Hopefully we get something figured out on offense when teams clog the lane because shooting so many 3s with poor shooting won't play well in conference. More guys that can score will help but it will be negated by not having at least average shooting.

I agree, it was good for them not to blow this team out of the water
