The bad news: we look terrible
The good news: the illegal site I’m streaming the game on gave me info for hot milfs near me who to have sex so I’m gonna chalk tonight up as a W.
You know, sometimes you do get lucky. I live in the middle of nowhere Wisconsin and found one 3 miles away. I lost my joke where I say I trust those ads more than the federal government, though. Or did it just become a fact instead of a joke? Who's to say.

We’ve just become quite easy to defend. Sell out on the wing perimeter to stop Gabe, Holmes, and grill (when playing)… force Lipsey and Osun to play a pick and roll game where they aren’t good enough offensively.

can you imagine ISU playing at home, ranked top ten vs a top 25 team, late in the big 12 conference schedule, and still playing for first place... and it being at halfish capacity? pathetic.

The insistence of pounding it into bob, and not looking for anyone else in the block , I've had about enough of it

They mailing these road games in, which I can't blame them really, these are meaningless games now


I agree with this^^^.

So I say put Bob in for the entire 2nd half and throw him the ball on each possession and tell him to go to work. What's it going to hurt in a game like this?

Let him turn it over 50 times and Texas score 100. Who cares. Someone can learn or not.

what a good in game coach would do when getting boatraced on the road in a game you were probably supposed to lose anyways
  1. try something new. you've already most likely lost this game.
  2. play some guys at the end of the bench.
  3. get mad. show some emotion.
  4. bench the guys that are playing horrible regardless of typical rotations and minutes.

What sorts of new things? Change the offense? Middle school 2-3 zone?

Remember when Otz beat Bill Self?

I am not going to agree with 3, because it just isn’t TJ…but 1 really needs to happen at some point. I just don’t see a lot of in game or game to game adjustments from TJ and staff.

Frosh PG and a team of not great 3 point shooters spells lots of Ls on the road.

Agreed. It helps to know there's better days on the horizon. We just got spoiled by the earlier than expected success. But Lipsey will get older and the recruiting looks outstanding.

That, and he's also often gassed even with the minutes he is getting (which also probably is good for some fouls here and there)

It's perplexing. He's not a huge big man and plays the "easiest minutes" of anyone on the team. He's spent most of his time setting high screens in recent games, and has expended little energy on the block. Guys like Grill, Kal, Lipsey, and Kunc play harder minutes and more of them. How a 5th year guy can't condition himself to play 30 minutes is one of the strongest things I've seen.

At this point I'd have to assume he has a condition or a some predisposition for low lung capacity. It's not like we are poorly conditioned as a team, so that's not it.

maybe some new lineups or rotations. you have nothing to lose. more tre king. tell watson and kunc to go score some buckets. see what eli king and ward can contribute. rest a couple guys who have been playing big minutes.
