That’d be a pretty good outcome next year.

We'll be here for you to remind us of it all over again then, I suppose.
Need a Rob Jones or Ward type. Alot out there at the mid major level.
I’m disappointed we lost but, given Jefferson’s injury, I’m not surprised.
I’ve felt this way all season… TJ has some work to do as a coach. He’s an elite cheerleader. He’s elite at building a tough-minded team and getting his guys to “buy in”. But his staff needs to design some offensive actions to get open shots. Our offense can’t just rely on getting it transition or being “hot”. Against equally talented or more talented teams, the staff needs to have offensive sets to get good looks.
And good God, his teams are terrible at free throws. Two of his seasons, we shot 67% and one was 68% from the FT line for the season. His best season was 75% which was like 63rd best in NCAA.

Against UConn after Georges broke his foot. It was really close.
With a big rebuilding year, anyone should sign up for a Sweet 16 exit in 2027.
This was one of my favorite cyclone teams to watch and I didn’t realize it until it was over. Tamin is the man.
I thought TN tonight was what I expected more of from KY.
So, we could jsut lose them all? That would be better? You liked the year before TJ coming back, did you?
We'll get there eventually. Maybe we'll be able to make it to the end of the season with the whole team once. That would be a good place to start.
Horrible cope. You can be passionate without shitting on players because of one game. Be for real.
He is a spot up shooter. Expecting him to be the focal point of our offense would be like Arizona expecting Dell Orso to be their focal point. We need to be better.
The amount of people with like 7 posts that waddle in after losses is legit hilarious.
I'm a bit worried about tjs scheme without tamin. Nextbueat shpuld be telling.
ISU's Tom Davis.
I saw him moving all over the place with cuts and picks. It was tough to get looks.
The lack of half court offense puts a ceiling on this program. Don’t have to be great in the half court, but they can’t be this bad and expect to get very deep. Eventually you run into a game where you don’t feast off of live ball turnovers.
It needs to get better next year.

Well this hurt. But we are in pretty good shape as a program when we get bummed out losing in the sweet 16.
Rebounding free throws and turnovers killed us this game. No JJ didn't help anything either.
Well let TJ get the team reset for next yr and cheer them on again starting in Nov (?)

Disagree. At 6’8”, he needs to be more versatile and be able to create his own shot…both inside and outside. He also needs to turn himself into a better rebounder. He’s an amazing shooter, but he’s slow-footed and doesn’t have enough of a motor right now.
