Is Nojus really that bad at defense?
Doesn’t matter currently you’d think? Heise isn’t playing good defense and he’s scared on the other end so idk why he’s not getting any run unless redshirt is the goal.

This one is over guys...I hate it. I'll stay and take my medicine (no Ames Lager, switched to Cyclone vodka.)

ISU is going to lose this game, BY A LOT. Anyone who isn't okay watching a blowout loss, you can turn it off now.

Testifying
I wouldnt call tonight not showing up.

The effort between saturday and today is night and day and somehow it'd be even uglier right now if it wasn't. We're just Pitt game-level off right now.
Yeah, I'm floored with how many we've missed around the rim. It's wild.

When they switch on us and pick and roll, we never seem to go get the ball to our big that has a smaller guard on them
Just looks like we really don't practice in the half court at all, it's just a really juvenile scheme, with no movement

We shot this bad against WVU, then K State wasn’t much better, now this. I hope these guys are in the gym as soon as they land in Ames and just practice shooting for a few days.

I can't believe I have turned off two straight ISU basketball games with TJ coaching. He has ALWAYS had his teams ready to play even if they were overmatched. There was always 100% effort. I really hope this isn't the start of a 6-8 game losing streak. We look beaten, and our body language is saying we have already lost. TJ needs to come up with some new inspiration for this team. This KU team isn't 20 points better than us.

Here's a question.

Was BRE the vocal leader along with physical leader last year?

Is anyone in that role this year?

Communication has been lacking it seems all season compared to past years and right now it feels like nobody is even talking.

That's not saying it's a 'behind the scenes' thing; I just think it looks like nobody knows how to steer the ship.

Jones gets a big article written about him and somehow starts to blow. Might of been the curse ala when sports illustrated curse would happen
