I wonder how many teams have scored only 41 or less in tourney history. Probably not a top 10 seed.

Who knows..........it doesn't matter now.
I think the biggest hurt was Hunter. Hard to lose the conference freshman of the year and it not effect anything. Lipsey did a yeoman's job his first year.
Often shooting percentage is a byproduct of shot selection, which was terrible all game. Shots were forced inside, Holmes often took flat-footed shots, and a lot of our outside shots were rushed. If you take out the drives and easy buckets the shooting percentage is even worse. I'd probably classify 20% of our looks as good shots (open/makeable/in-rhythm).
Just a complete lack of game plan or approach by the team and the staff. It feels like teams adjusted/prepared for us as the season went on and we were ill-prepared to adjust. Admittedly we don't have the best personnel but what we just witnessed was head-scratching at best.
Yeah, with a broken spine, he was our best shooter before his back injury.
As bad as ISU played, and we sucked, Pitt is nothing to write home about. Easy to pack it into the lane when the other team cannot buy a shot from the outside.
Said it all year, teams that cannot make shots and cannot hit free throws are living on borrowed time. Defense can only take you so far, but little things mean a lot, and ISU just did not do enough of the little things to advance deep in this tournament.

Shoon looks like he did something to his hand.
Kunc just never really got it going again after he came back from injury. He never looked comfortable out there after that.
Kudos to Pitt today, BUT honestly we couldn’t have beaten anyone in the entire tourney today…. we were embarrassing.
Biliew and Momcilovic better be able to shoot higher than 20% and our offense will be better next year.
It was below 20% before Pitt gave us easy layups without trying in the last two minutes…
Our margin of error entering the year was slim.
Then we lose JW for the season, Kunc and King for basically half the season, and then the Grill situation.
The worst part is seeing us beat elite teams soundly but then playing like this. The season's still a success IMO though.

Pitt doesn’t even deserve any kudos. They aren’t that good and any halfway decent team would’ve beat them today.
I probably should have been, what an unmitigated disaster.
