Been saying in my seats in the rafters that our games/team should be sponsored by the Iowa Heart Center. Little did I realize that the postgame show was sponsored by them. Of course, by then it's too late.
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.

A new AD with some big time football and basketball experience might help, instead of a cross country guy.
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?
Whoever suggested that Brackins be sat after the half- please submit your name to the athletic department so that we know to never, ever hire you as the coach. Nice to see Craig shoot going towards the basket. If he plays that way, we win ball games.
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.
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.
