If you want to break it down by just the stats like that, I don’t think it’s fair to the rest o the team…
*** Official IOWA STATE vs #12 Texas A&M Game(Day) Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
when you go 10 mins without scoring, that is going to happen.
the difference this year is the lack of ball security, especially from our guards.
I also think the difference is that we aren’t as good on the defensive end as the previous TJ years
The problem is we need a McDonald’s AA to start making an impact. With him being unable to do anything, it hurts us. It’s head scratching that our highest rated recruit in history is currently our 9th-10th best player at the moment. Him being unable to improve and adjust could be the big difference between us being a tournament team or not.
If he continues to get 5-7 minutes a game he will transfer.
Last year at Oklahoma we had a 25-7 lead and within 6 minutes it was tied at 25. Just because wexplay good defense doesn't mean they can hold a big lead all game.
Their 2 starters averaged like 27pts and 10+ rbs…
Our 1 starter is sorta tall and athletic, but barely shows up in the box score.
Curtis has not performed like a D1 player. Billew has not looked ANYTHING like a D1 player yet. There is a difference. And No, we don't want to see Billew not doing anything vs. bad play from others. I have seen 4 times that Billew has done something good thus far this season, all the other players have done that within one game. Give it a break and let him work his way in during the 4 games before conference please.
Can you point out who shot well tonight?

If he continues to get 5-7 minutes a game it simply means he isn’t making the improvements necessary to get more minutes. It’s not like it’s everyone else’s fault that he isn’t playing much.
This is just not a very good team right now. It doesn't mean they can't improve as the season goes on, but right now they stink. To me, so far it is a carbon copy of last year. Lipsey still can't shoot to save his life, and forces a lot of bad passes. Gilbert reminds me of Holmes last year. Holmes was a better shooter, Gilbert is better at getting to the rim. We don't have Osunnyi back there to protect the rim and rebound, so our interior defense is worse.
Same dreadful shooting. Same pathetic FT percentage, around 65%. Terrible in game decisions, probably going to average over 15 turnovers a game.
New players, same result. What is the same? The coaching.

I agree, it’s a bad loss with what A&M had missing combined with blowing a massive lead.
It has nothing to do with coaching, the reason teams erase big deficits is because we go 10 minutes without scoring on offense. All of a sudden a stretch that should be 16-10 where they starting chipping away turns into a 16-2 type run for the other team.
Totally agree. How many times do we have an open 10-12 foot shot and then decide to drive in hard against 2-3 people. It's not always about highlight drives.
Most of our fans don't even realize how many one and done guys are going through G league/OT Elite and how many truly great international players are getting drafted who have already played at a level higher than the NCAA. Any more we are talking about 10-15 NCAA basketball players a year getting a guaranteed contract on draft night, not the 25-30 it used to be.
There was a brief period where NBA teams threw draft picks away on unproven high school kids hoping to get the next KG or Kobe. That era is long gone. They have a so many proven players to pick from now without drafting players who haven't dominated for at least a year at a level higher than hs.
Mark me down as currently unconcerned. We still have more offensive talent than last two years (combined?) and confident stops will come.
There’s a line shift of faces and what I see is a still emerging identity/trust and confidence in roles.
Will be good to get back and work on things after being punched in the mouth.
Both two losses team showed a sense of urgency late but it was too little/late. May have started buying their own hype playing cupcakes.
TJ & Green will get their attention. Mark the tape.

I really think Omaha should have stayed at a prep school his senior year. Really would have benefited him.
I’m referring to shot selection. Perhaps it’s just me but too many of his shots are cringeworthy at launch.Can you point out who shot well tonight?
