It's not like that was typical of Hunter or that he was a reliable shooter.
I'm talking about finishing around the rim, of which really nobody last year was that good with.
It’s funny you say that because that was exactly what I thought. I really thought the cancellation of the Omaha game as non-con concluded that that would’ve had the team flat against Baylor but it was the POLAR opposite!! Rattled off consecutive wins. So I think you’re on to something..,
Jaren has been limited in conference on defense (especially) and on offense. All conference games.
Jaren has the ball in his hands about 10x more often than Gabe. Gabe is positioned in the corner where there is no room to work off the dribble. This is an offensive coaching issue.
I mean ultimately it’s a game. I walked the dogs and played with my kiddo.
You can always go back and watch the Sweet 16 game from 2000 and enjoy crushing UCLA.
Yeah it sucked, but as soon as I got home I was over it. To much stuff to get done (racecar and taxes) to let 1 game ruin my weekend.
I was there and it was a bummer but oh well.
I have a couple of weekends in mid-late April that I'm hoping to get out and hike/camp etc. that I've been looking forward to for a while.
Anything that does or does not happen in March won't affect that plan.
Life is good.
Yup. Game ended and I was like ok time to get ready for Tahoe! Headed there this week.
Dude it’s a scam. We lose to a bubble team. Our Pom squad is interesting. Much like the Roman Empire. Bread and circus and now cell phones.
Yeah, the older I get, the less each loss affects me. I might be bitter about a particularly bad game for a couple hours, but aside from that, there's no point in letting the play of a bunch of (basically) kids ruin my weekend.
Then again, we also haven't really had many losses with huge stakes for awhile. We had plenty of losses in the prohm era that individually meant nothing because whole seasons were lost causes. And these first 2 years the losses have come in such a way where we're still pretty happy we've simply gotten our bid to the tourney.
No doubt it’s more fun and painful when the stakes get higher, but I guess I’ve just found it not worth letting it stew for too long a healthier approach. Tough though as you only get so many seasons to live through, be nice to capture some magic for one.
Same I get pissed for a little bit then move on. Me being pissed wont change anything.
I also think it helps not living in Iowa. I don't see anything on the news, in the papers, or talk to anyone that really cares about Iowa State on a daily basis. Easier to move on from losses in that regard too. Which is nice.
I think part of the 19 min a game thing is that he commits silly, unnecessary fouls. Example yesterday, his first foul was on the sideline, in front of the ISU bench, 30 feet from the hoop. Stuff like this happeneds a lot.
We need that to beat ANYBODY. This team doesn't have much of an offensive game plan outside of that when we aren't turning teams over. I'd love to see a stat that says "if we hit 'x' amount of threes, we win." Seems like our big wins all involved somebody being hot from 3. Also, Shoon has to get it going again. The inside/out action hasn't been there lately.
