Is Omaha not allowed to shoot 3s this year I mean he can make them and can’t say that about Jones and some others

I hate being "that guy" but at this point you have to think Omaha could be a better or at least equal wing shooter/scorer and Watson is better on D and maybe better on offense even.

I'm guessing TJ's reaction to what we're seeing is already the increased Pav minutes but we may need more than just that.

We've had some calls to bench Gilbert and even Milan which I think are kind of irrational momentary frustrations, but C Jones is really hoisting a lot of bricks and the kind of plays where FTs aren't even a possibility.

C Jones is shooting the same 21% from 3 that Watson did last year (admittedly Watson only took 19 3s all year) and doesn't have Watson's length. Unless he improves his shooting I'm not seeing it.

1 - Tamin, Pav, Gilbert
2 - Gilbert, Pav, CJones
3 - Milan, Omaha, Watson
4 - King, R Jones/Ward, Omaha, Watson
5 - R Jones/Ward

Am I way off here in a rough chart of who is best at each spot and who should get some minutes in those spots?
I would go small:

Tamin
Gilbert
Pav
Milan
Rob Jones

I sure hope he makes some changes after this showing and hopefully has them practicing free throws.

Pet Peeve: Broadcasters saying that Iowa State fans made the trip from Ames, Iowa. Why do they think all Iowa State fans live in Ames?

Yeah, more accurate would be that Iowa State has a real fan base around the country that cares about more than just football. I'm sure a ton of Texas A&M/VTech grads/fans live in Florida too but they are fb only fans.

Why are you yelling? While you’re at it though, which players on this team DO look ready to you?

Becuase it is just asinine to keep asking for Billew to learn in these games. His time will come, but he is not ready.

And the answer to your second question is everyone that I have seen other than Billew looks more ready than him. I am looking forward to him being awesome and I know it will happen, but he is not there right now and showing it in small spurts every time he is on the floor.
