    Dominick Nelson has committed to Iowa State.

    Stranger things have happened. Nate Heise was shooting in the low 20's and then shot over 50% for the rest of the season from 3 just this past year. Tamin went from mid 20's to near 40% in an off season. People like Kemba Walker and Jason Kidd come to mind. Jamaal Tinsley went from 24% in his...

    Dominick Nelson has committed to Iowa State.

    Fix this man's shot, get him in the weight room, and you have something. Pretty smooth slithering through traffic and finishing.

    We have put him in position to dribble. Not a great plan.

    Watson and Heise are both in a once right now. Watson just sitting there wide open in the corner. Not getting the ball, ignored by the defense. Meanwhile others are taking well defended difficult shots. I would absolutely love to be wrong and offense be great with those two in. If his teammates...

    Yeah, Jefferson has been awesome. Curtis Jones is just so much better than he was even a year ago. Better in every way. He keeps this up and ISU keeps winning, he should get more attention for All-American. Definitely in the B12 POY race.

    It's not defense I am worried about. Our defense is awesome. Watson and Heise are both among the top 5 defensive players on the roster. The great teams have both great defensive and offensive efficiency. The concern would be that the improvement on defense does not make up for the hit on...

    I do think the staff is in a position right now where they are having to choose between Watson and Heise for minutes. I hear the perspective that they play different positions, but realistically, Watson is not out of place guarding on the perimeter. He may sometimes allow drivers to get by him...

    Great D in the 2nd half. The mature and poised team won.

    *** Official #3 IOWA STATE vs Arizona State Game(Day) Thread ***

    Keshon has been coached by TJ to stay calm in the face of adversity. Keshon has had times in the past where he let adversity frustrate him and he lashed out or expressed that in a way that did not help himself or the team. I am not seeing disinterest. Just not playing his A game. Road games in...

    It is harder to play through the post when it is so cluttered in the lane all the time.

    He's shooting 36% in conference play from 3. Okay, so that is on 11 attempts in 7 games. But his shot looks good, right? ;) It could happen!

    I agree, we do have perimeter threats. But they have underperformed from deep for the year. For the year, Milan was 44.3% on 4.7 3-point attempts. The whole team is at 20.7 3-point attempts per game, so Milan was around 23% of our total attempts. Curtis has been 39.5% on 6.9 attempts from 3...

    With Milan out we need other players besides Curtis Jones to step up their 3 point attempts and make them at a reasonable level. That will help keep defenses honest and improve spacing on offense for us, opening up the lane more. I loved to see Jefferson make a few against UCF. If Watson is...

    I am not worried about manners or I would have phrased my post differently. I just see a personal attack related to an innocuous post. My post called that out. You can take offense if you want. I hope you see my intent, but that is up to you.

    Get it together man. Whatever bad takes or obnoxious behavior he has shown, bullying and being a **** is not better.

    Honestly I am not fully caught up this thread. Definitely more of a general comment and not directed at you or anyone else. And even then, it is okay to disagree on message boards ;).

    Late reply here, but wanted to comment on this. Sometimes the reactions are due to how something is written. Some posters struggle with sounding constructive when questioning decisions. Interpreting tone in writing can be hard anyway. There are also people that come across as having no...

    Pop-Tarts Day After Review

    I will disagree on the end of game calls. I thought we should have run it, just not sideways. I have been very impressed with our QB sneak game this year. I thought there was no way they would stop us if we ran that twice. Running the ball takes time off the clock for any potential game winning...

    What an obnoxious thread to create mid-game. Be better.
