Awaiting the post-game "We a fam and will bounce back! Love my team!" player tweets.

Lord I hope so. What would you hope to see?

 

[Cyclonesince78]

Tashawn Thomas destroyed Mckay

 

[Gossamer]

monte just walking around passing the ball...never looking to score. awful.

 

[Gunnerclone]

When have we ever won consistently on the road under any coach?

When has any team in this league besides KU, Blake Griffin OU, and Kevin Durant Tejas ever won consistently on the road?

When have we ever won consistently on the road under any coach?

LE from 99-00 - 00-01

 

[swarthmoreCY]

It's called big 12 basketball....

Exactly. People act like losing on the road is some new problem. You have to be a very complete team to do so. We have had maybe two or three of those complete teams in 50+ years.

 

[bringmagicback]

How the **** do you coach free throws??? That's 100% on the player.

Exactly, either u make them or you don't. This isn't middle school

 

[ISUTex]

Sounds like you don't trust Fred.

I don't trust that he knows how to coach high level defense. This game is a joke. ISU is a joke on the road. Fix it Fred, or get a freaking asst coach who can. Pathetic.

 

[CST8WIN]

.....this ending makes us look pathetic

 

[swarthmoreCY]

LE from 99-00 - 00-01

So never.

 

[AuH2O]

I'm sensing a McCarney-esque winning the last 3 minutes. Hooray!

 

[madguy30]

Yeah but this team is way better at trash talking and thinking they are better than last year!

...and there were quite a few on these boards that were in absolute approval of ISU's players' antics, including in losses.

 

[3rdGenStater]

Why do we get rattled so easily on the road

Defensive toughness--which we lack--is a big key to winning on the road. Floyd and Eustachy's teams demonstrated that.

 

[ISU22CY]

Lord I hope so. What would you hope to see?

Something like "We are not this type of team, we played like **** and need to get it figured out" least it would be real

Ok st has won two straight road games. They aren't exactly a complete team

 

[NickTheGreat]

Reminds me of Johnny Orr's teams...they couldn't win on the road, either...

Exactly what I thought :twitcy:

 

[IcSyU]

No one is better than BDJ at garbage time buckets.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Something like "We are not this type of team, we played like **** and need to get it figured out" least it would be real

And it would make the exact same amount of difference.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Well through 11 games this team is 7-4 last year was 6-5.

 

[ianoconnor]

I'm completely demoralized.
