With that being said since Wigginton is injured just free up Lard. Remember in the good old days in Ames when we had the Burger King on Lincoln Way getting robbed? What Cam did was nothing[/QUOTE]

Why do you want Cam to transfer to AZ St?

I’ve been super impressed with Jacobsen. Didn’t realize that he’d be this much of a scorer. Also pretty cool considering he’s an in-state kid.

Repeating but hopefully Lard keeps his **** together. Him at the 5 with Jacobson being able to draw defenses out from the 4 to 15 feet is exciting to think about.

I'm also not concerned with TH being 'weak'. Dude played 40 minutes last night and looked like he could play more.

And at least one of those was total BS. The ref blew the whistle before he even moved. He was just anticipating a moving screen.
I think the second one is the one you’re talking about. I’m pretty sure that he was called for having is feet much wider than shoulder-width apart, which has been an emphasis the last couple years. I thought it was a good call. On the first one, I thought it was more on Babb not letting Conditt get set.

Can't be an happier with how the game turned out last night. Not only did every player/coach step up, so did the fans. Hilton was electric! The fact there there were two Top 30 recruits for 2020 in attendance is a fantastically good thing.

Missouri's offense was sloppier than a typical freshman's experience with jungle juice. To say ISU had a hand in all 25 turnovers is a clear exaggeration. Turnovers are a terrible barometer of how to measure a defense. Missouri is a middling to basement dwelling SEC squad without Jontay Porter.

You must be a blast at parties.

Foster would sure fit in nicely alongside Haliburton, THT, Zion, and Conditt.

Haliburton is living up to his billing. Hopefully it continues and he is a 6’6” freshman Monte in that he’s a heady player that can play alongside other primary ball handlers or be the primary ball handler.

I thought we missed on Jacobson when he was coming out of Waukee, but he’s the biggest surprise. He’s a lot more than an effort guy off the bench that plays defense and rebounds. If he can consistently hit the 3P shot and drive to the move to the paint with a baby hook/floater finish, he’s a perfect complement to Lard or Young at the five. Or play him at the five and have Talley at the four, then space and pace.

Mark Smith would have been a great pickup on the transfer market. I’m glad he went to MU and not KSU

You clearly didn't watch the game if you think that it was just Missouri carelessly turning the ball over. Yes, there were some possessions that happened, but Iowa State's defense had a lot to do with it.

No Richard, I was only at the game. :rolleyes:...To say Missouri's offense was anything close to fluid is purely an absurd assertion. Their backcourt was awful and really made no attempt to feed their top dogs, Tilmon and Puryear, especially given their height, depth and length advantages across the front line.
