Has anyone heard why the ambulances were pulling up to Hilton after the game?


Yep. I was walking down the south steps out side of Hilton when an older man fell down them right next to us, and hit his head. He was with his family. I was in the process of calling 911 but a lady had already called. I'm not sure if he was conscious or not. He was bleeding from the back of his head. I'm hoping he was ok.

Ouch. We'll be praying for him, too.

I'm confused by the title of this thread. Huge win? Shouldn't it be more like grasping for air win? This was a home game against a lower half Big 12 team. Barely win by by 1 after giving all involved a cardiac moment with a poor inbound pass???

I had hopes until the Northwestern loss. After which everyone said "oh but Northestern is a good team". Now Northwetern is 9th in the Little 11. And sometimes scrappy performances at lower Big 12 teams like TX Tech and OK show us the coach hasn't lost his team, but still, it doesn't give us much promise. We needed at least 2 of the Northwestern, UNI, Tech, OK games to make the NIT.

Big picture is we fired a great coach that had some personal problems but should have been given a leave of absence instead of **** canning, made a bad choice and replaced him with the guy that was really the talent getter and shoulder to cry on instead of a head coach, who we then fired after two post season performances, no post season performances since, and now are faced with firing one of the best personalities this program has seen. Why? Because of bad decisions before he even got here (but he really hasn't help himself too much).

It is time we really need to examine the overall perception and culture of our program and what we can each do to help get us back on track. My personal opinion firing is usually like a reset button that sets you back more than you realize. Will our third firing in 10 years help us reach our goals? I really don't know yet......but this isn't working.

A new AD with some big time football and basketball experience might help, instead of a cross country guy.

No. He's gotten worse as the season has gone on from downtown. His 3 point percentage has been falling since the Houston game. He's 4 his last 22. That is far from good.
My point wasn't to get more three point shots for Craig, but to draw the D out to him so he could feed it into the post (Ham). I'm sick of you and your opinions whoever you are. Wish we has a smiley face flippin the bird!

That was the best half of bb Brackins has played in a long time, he wasnt going to lose.Boy was he ****** at the end of the game . He really went up on that last rebound and slammed the ball down hard when the game was over, he was really ****** at somebody.

Haven't seen this yet, but does anyone know what Coach Mac was so mad at Dendy about when he got in his face during a timeout in the second half?

In the first half going into a timeout, it looked like Mac wanted to fight Dendy. It was very awkward looking.

It was shortly after Dendy dropped a pass and resulted in a turnover. I don't know if that's what caused it or not. It seemed a little inappropriate for just a dropped pass.

On the locker room show on 100.3, Mac was apparenty laying into to Colvin because he did a really bad job of something (running off a screen or something?) and Colving argued that he got pushed. Mac got ****** and told him, you know what, you're strong, don't get pushed around! Apparently dendy didn't like that or something and stepped into this whole thing, so Mac kind of flipped out at him.

Don't quote me on all this, though.. I don't have a great memory. But it was something along those lines.

Turnovers/3 pointers bad. FT's/Blocks(OMG Ham!) very good. Didn't play 100%, didn't play well at all during stretches and still won. All that matters. These boards should be good until Baylor...then we'll see if it gets even better or we regress.

Re: Official ISU/CU Postgame Thread.

And a few more things....

Ham was awesome.

Brackins had his coming out party agains the CU midget patrol.

Chris Colvin IS our best point guard and needs to be off the bench before SC. This isn't a knock on Scotty, it's just that Colvin is that good.

Truth hurts, but here it is anyway. DG is a terrible point guard. He handles the ball very sloppily. He is not a very good passer. The timing of when he delivers the ball to a player is usually very poor. He does not do a real good job of orchestrating the offense.

Christopherson has not played well. His shooting has been atrocious. His passing suspect. His decision making sporadic. His man seemed to be able to take the rock to the hoop and get around him, at will.

Colvin is a freshman. But does have potential. Makes some dumb decisions, but they are freshman mistakes.

Buckley, is a bit too short. But, damn, with as poorly as DG and Scotty have been playing, Buck should get some minutes. He has played better than DG and Scotty when he has seen the floor.

So the bottom line is that our guard play has sucked.......all year. This leads to frustration and impatience by our frontline. Which then leads to poor shot selection and bad judgement.

Nice win, GMac. Your team just out-rebounded a 4 guard team by 26 boards. The visitors were without their no. 2 scorer. Your team made 11 more free throws than the visitors. Your team had like 11 or 12 blocks (maybe more). The visitors shot 34 per cent on FG's, and you won by 1 point at home.....and you probably should have lost it. (from Dryburn post)

IMO this is the perfect description of the problem. Every team has the occasional off-night (see the OU/NU score), and any player can have an off-night or botch a play. As some would say, the coach doesn't dribble, pass, shoot, or rebound. But then the coach is supposed to coach those things, so the players get better as individuals, and the team improves as a whole. Maybe that is why they call it coaching (?)

I do not blame the players. I think we have some good talent.

We are one coach away from some big wins.

I really believe people like to complain and worry just to complain and worry anymore.

We need to learn to show up right away. When the team improves, it's because the other team stinks or is short-handed in some way. When we lose, it's because we stink.

Enjoy the win. It was far from perfect, but it's a win. In this conference, there aren't bad wins.
