With our team offensively challenged, we really need to get it done on the defensive end to win games. Something we haven't done the last couple games.

They only allowed 65 pts. 2 good Sr guards scored 48. The D was good enough to win. I agree on the Offense we need 2 more shoters. Wes not 100% hurts too, it looks like it takes him a bit to get losened up.

Is it just me or does it seem like every game we get down, fight our way back to an actual game, and use everything we have to get back and have nothing left to get us over the bump?

Lack of good depth may have something to do with that. I am suprised we didnt see CJ and Boozer more in the 2nd half. They did a nice job when they were in.

Our d against Kansas and today was good, but we need great d to win games with our scoring avg. and we haven't gotten it lately.

I disagree with this. We let the worst team in the conference shoot 55% against us. With this team, allowing the other team to shoot 55% is never good enough to win. If we were to win a game like that, that would be winning despite our defense.

Ridiculously hard to figure out McD's substituting pattern. Always has been. I would have liked to see them get spot minutes as well in the 2nd Half. They sure couldn't do much worse than the other guys that were playing.

Against a poor rebounding team I only asked for one offensive rebound. I can't remember any. Did we give up rebounding for Lent?

I think McD kept Boozer out because he didn't want his shot to bring snow in and they get stuck in Boulder.

We actually got two offensive rebounds on one of the first two possessions.

I have not seen a worse college team in many years. No shooters, can't pass questionable defense or at least inconsistent. When man out front is throwing to someone, it is always so close to being intercepted--if the defense was awake most should be intercepted. Don't see much hope for next hear. Going to take 2-3 more years to get anywhere like NIT even. My wife got no argument to turn over to the girls state tournament.

Sounds like you enjoy being a Cyclone fan.

The girl for Heelan looks like freaking Marcus Hall right now. She can't miss.

That guy was working up a serious sweat there.

I bet that would make a good workout video.
