Chris Allen is just a stupid, stupid basketball player. There's no 2 ways about it. What goes through his head before he decides, "hey, i'm gonna chuck up an unbalanced 3 while i'm double teamed"? Just baffling.

All sorts of guys making bad decisions. Babb shot was horrid. Royce White drives into the lane with 2 guys all over him. It's everyone.

Unreal how we can't stay with set shooters though.

I love how ppl say were terrible ALREADY!! calm the **** down. Did any of you watch iowa state football this year? they were awful for that 3 game stretch than they switched some personel and the offense a little bit and bam, there a solid team. What happens if ISU beats mich this weekend? All the ppl who are saying there terrible will be like "omg tournament bound" lets wait til conference play to judge this or any team.

Amazing how when it gets to be crunch time, UNI spreads the floor, moves the ball around, finds the open man, and gets their teammates open looks. ISU? Let's just go 1-on-1 and chuck up any old shot. Very poor TEAM effort out of ISU tonight.

Sorry, but I'm going to yell. Don't take it personally.

BULL ******* ****. I DON'T CARE HOW GOOD OF A MID-MAJOR TEAM UNI IS. IOWA STATE SHOULD *NEVER*, REPEAT *NEVER*, LOSE TO UNI AT HILTON COLISEUM.

I'M SICK AND ******* TIRED OF THIS ****. I REMEMBER WHEN CYCLONE BASKETBALL MATTERED.

Really? Come on, now. Take a step back and look how stupid you look right now.

I honestly feel like Freddie's coaching style is the "But this worked so well in practice" method.

I'm not saying he's wrong, we have lost 2 games so far... still a LOT of basketball to be played yet, some people have given up on the season already and we're what? 6 games into it?

at least we won't have to read their whiny posts now that they've given up.

Explain to me why this coaching staff doesn't deserve criticism? Because Fred is our hero? This is what I was afraid of when we hired him... he can't be criticized.

UNI is schooling us big time on everything about how to play basketball correctly.

If Fred isn't coaching it, it's his fault. If his players that he mostly brought in are lazy.... that's also his fault. It's his job to put together the team too.

Right now, this is a failure. No other way to explain it. And Fred doesn't look like he cares either. I'm sure he does, but his players are playing like he coaches.

Sorry. It hurts me to say it because I love Fred Hoiberg. But he has some serious issues he needs to address right now.

I actually am really liking UNI right now. I should be hating them, but they are just so much more enjoyable to watch play the game right now than we are. They play it the way it's supposed to be played. We don't. You tell me who has to answer for that?

This. This is it. We didn't play horribly and the melt-down **** that's going on right now should not be happening. This team is still unexperienced. UNI is a veteran team that made a hell of a lot of shots tonight. This is not a bad loss.

Don't mean to hate on a fellow Cyclone fan but you are delusional man. How can you watch this basketball game and say it isn't a bad loss. The unexperienced excuse doesn't hold any water when that isn't the problem. They made a lot of wide open shots cause we didn't guard anyone. Wake up man...take off the cardinal colored glasses.

Lot of this stuff can be corrected. But some of it is just effort stuff. I would imagine we will be ok later in the year, but it will probably be too late by then.
