Why the **** is Heise in?

 

[KCyclone2010]

Wholly does Jefferson just look so lost around the rim?

 

[Erik4Cy]

Is it possible that there is some type of sickness going through the team. The guys look lethargic and slow.

If so, that illness is definitely characterized by stone hands

 

[ISUKyro]

No call?
Hey ref
Get ****** stay ******

 

[CyberJJJ]

They get to whistle going to hoop that we can’t get

 

[CYDJ]

Our heads are messy. Can't hit the little shots up close. Just sad.

 

[cayin]

I guess they won't call fouls on them. wow

 

[bisonlj]

hopeless...

 

[tim_redd]

come on nate, that's twice he's closed out on harris way too hard at the 3 pt line.

 

[RagingCloner]

Sure why not call a foul there

 

[xboxfever]

If your going to insist on playing Heise, someone needs to tell him Harris isn’t going to shoot the three.

 

[Cyburbbalz]

Starting to think Jones is hurt or sick

 

[madguy30]

They get to whistle going to hoop that we can’t get

They can get ISU out of position.

 

[HoustonClone]

No call?
Hey ref
Get ****** stay ******

And yet, there's the bail out against us,

 

[Clonefan32]

There will be bad plays here and there, but this board is hillarious. Always the players -- every game 15 lousy calls, but yeah its the players.

You see, it can work both ways. If the officials make two bad calls in a row that should give us 2 freethrows at one end and then the other team gets an open 3 twice at the other end that's a potential 10 point swing. That CAN be the difference in the game. Officials are JUSt as fallable as the players and deserve to be called out as much as the players. Why not?

Now, with that said, the officials have not blocked any of our shots, so we can't blame that on them. BUT, they sure as hell are letting KS foul with impunity down low on us and have provided at least 4 bailouts on the other end that MAY be fouls, but not with respect to what they are letting happen elsewhere.

OFFICIALS ARE A PART OF THE GAME! Otherwise, why have them out there? Are they perfect? Can they make mistakes? Why not rag on them as much as your players who are not doing well and making mistakes. Do your playters have to play to a certain level to get fair officiating? Lots of questions that you should go ahead and answer and then maybe you can go off on those that like to critique the officials instead of their players.

Do you think that officiating ALWAYS balances out somehow? It doesn't, unless they check themselves after the game is out of hand and then decide they are going to crack down, after the damage has been done.

Youre in this thread every game whining. So what other? Why do we get bad whistle every game in your estimation?

It’s nonsense.

 

[Marcelason78]

Heise still doesn’t know Harris won’t shoot.

 

[Drew0311]

When I saw Heise start the second half I turned it. I’m done on this game

 

[GoSTATE71]

These rotations make no sense.

 

[Thomasrickj]

Pal, if we’re comparing comprehension skills, nobody whose followed along on your posts tonight would give you the W there.

KSU wasn’t a great game but it will end up a Q2 loss. Also, if you anticipated the team to have it all figured out with a one day turnaround, that foolishness is on you. There is a night and day effort difference between this game and Saturdays. Sometimes you just can’t hit shots.

There are plenty of games left in this conference season, and this team will still win 13-14 conference games

This team is about to have their fourth loss in six games, including these past two where they straight up didn’t even show up. It’s obvious this team has a massive problem right now and needs to be corrected or they’re going to become one of the worst teams in the conference. If you don’t see it then you’re just too much of a homer.

 

[fsanford]

At this point a 6-0 run would make me happy too much to ask??
