Team is stale tonight and Monte's play is probably the reason for that. We will probably still cover and be disappointed we didn't score 90 plus.

The overreaction of some on here never ceases to amaze me.

Favored by 21 or something, up by 9 at half, so if they do that again, plus hit a 3, they keep the spread. Sounds like an ugly half but there's not too many teams that keep it floored for every game/opponent, especially this early in the season.

Duke was up by 10 the other night at half.

If they lose or only win by 4 or something then maybe folks can get upset.

Team hasn't played in a week and it shows. Buffalo guards are really quick and that's something Iowa doesn't have. I'm not worried about Iowa we are a bad match up for them IMO. I kinda figured this game would go this way given Iowa game coming up and we've been off for a week. Offense just out of rythym. Good news is that will prob mean it will be rocking on Thursday.

Gonna take solace in the fact that if we shoot 30-40% in a half other years we probably trail.
Defense is better, though Buffalo missed some good looks too.

I love this team but there is some times these guys just seem to get too comfortable and get lazy. Cant imagine what it would look like if we dont stop going at them

The crowds at Hilton are always overrated. 70% of it is 60+ year old donors. Then you have a student section where 30% of them go ohhhh for about 5 min then dead silent. Like this for all but like 3 games.

The old videos of when Fred, etc. played shows a much more lit up crowd in the front bowl of Hilton. I think the seats went to the older crowd over the years and really put an end to the crazies. I was there for an exhibition or something just 4-5 years ago and it was still plenty loud for a small crowd.

How many turnovers is that trying to get McKay the ball?

Anyone else kind of annoyed right now? Maybe it's the fact that I'm a Redskins fan and they're playing awful football right now, but ISU is looking just sloppy.
