I'm here for the meltdown! We will be fine on the year. Bout the same as last year maybe 1 or 2 games worse.

When you played high school ball were you excited to play ****** teams when the games didn't matter on Christmas break? Doubtful. Ball players get amped up for good competition and it will come out in big 12 play.

What a dumb statement. You really think these players don't care?
If they care and this is how they look, we are bad................and yes we are. Clyburn is not a point guard and doesn't want to be..........KL, well he's not a point guard either.

I don't know why we don't get Nazareth more of a shot. Sure he doesn't have the shot or quickness of KL but in the limited time I've seen him play, he doesn't turn the ball over.

Interesting choice of Nazareth over Naz there.

That would be swell. But there are plenty of teams that can come out and destroy ****** teams at any point of the year.

I have no doubt they'll bounce back in the second half.

That's why these freakouts are so ******* stupid.



They can be over the top, but we have had too many of these same experiences this season. The turnover issue is still happening and we have certain players dissapearing that are supposed to be standouts. We dont have long before the B12 starts and a huge game to start it with.

Does anyone think KL is a team player? I think he is lazy on defense and selfish on offense.
I just think he's not very good. He's not a natural penetrate and kick PG. Low basketball IQ and he's playing with other guys who have a low basketball IQ.

This team needs a go-to guy. Maybe someone emerges but I'm not holding my breath. Had hoped it would be Will but he is lost/demoralized.

Exactly, there is no excuse for playing down to your opponent time and time again. Get up for EVERY game!

There is nothing wrong with an NIT birth. Some teams just aren't NCAA bound every year and I think ISU is one of those programs. The turnovers are painful to listen to, but there is a lot of season left.

I have no doubt we will win, but thats not the point. The point is we play a terrible brand of basketball right now that allows low rung teams to stay in it. Its not even fun to watch in any capacity other than a win.
