Iowa went to zone defense Prohm went blank, no ability to adjust, our inbounds plays are garbage.

I don't need an amazing play for a bucket. How about just getting it in play?

For yours you can tell teams LOVE it when ISU has to throw it in under the basket.

Alright. Many people know I’m not a CSP fan. Putting that aside there are some positives to take from tonight.

Javan Johnson can absolutely play at this level. We know that Bolton can play at this level and I think tonight showed that Xavier Foster has immense potential. Harris and Coleman-Lands can shoot the ball.

I’m much more positive about the season after watching aspects of this game. Multiple times in the 1H we responded to Iowa runs. We are actually leading at the under 4:00 minute timeout in the 1H. Those are some real positives.

Here are my concerns. I’m not sure what to make of Conditt at this point. What can he do that Xavier can’t. If there isn’t an answer then you need to give his minutes to X and let Conditt take a few of SY’s minutes.
I’m not sure what we have in Blackwell or Dubar from a basketball skill standpoint. Time will tell. But it is imperative that CSP hits on all four of those freshmen if he is going to be here in 3 years.

CSP continues to have troubles finishing and starting halves. Iowa finished on a 16-3 run to close the first and 9-0 run to open the 2H. At that point there was never any doubt. Iowa was always going to cover the -12.5. That line was a joke and between the 1H and game lines I have 1/2 of the monthly mortgage covered.
My issue with CSP is the in-game coaching is just lacking. How many TO’s out of timeouts. How many in-bound situation where we struggle. That stuff is the same issues every year.
And for those that want to discuss how much a success 2015-16 was by making it to a Sweet 16 and a sixth place conference finish..the team we played tonight is what that team should have been.

I don’t think he knows how to run a zone defense in practice and therefore the players don’t know what to do when they see one

As I've stated several times now, I am fine. I will put you on ignore, though, because I grow weary of your dullard questions. You're the kind of **** who always has to have the last word, so I'll leave you to it. I won't see it, but you'll have it.
Probably better for your health. We need as many cyclone fans as we can get.

Please share. What’s his handle?
@JakeSullivanNXT talking about how these non Iowa guys we have don’t care about the program/university and are only here for themselves basically. Says we need to recruit Iowa guys over them

I feel like I'm in a time warp. Is this 2017?

Agree with a lot of this. Harris/Bolton/JCL/Johnson/Foster I’d my lineup if I were making it for this year. Just zero reason to not be giving Foster all the minutes he can handle at this point.

I’m actually less positive about the season if you can believe that though. I honestly think we’re looking at 5-6 wins.

Jake Sullivan from Minnesota who's most successful team was led by a Rucker Park baller and who lost an NIT game IN HILTON to Iowa?
