***Official NU@ISU Post Game Thread***

Agree with the first point. And to the second point where has that fire been all year? It is not like he has nothing to play for. Everytime he goes out on the floor he is playing to maintain or increase his dradt stock. Which has fallen drastically this year due to the last of authority he has been playing with.

There have been plenty of games where he's had fire - I'm going to guess he's much more aware of his draft stock than any of us are. You've never wanted anything so badly that it started to slip away? Absolutely nobody knows what is going on in Craig's head - this guy beats himself up in public, which means he's doing it a ton more in private.
 
Does it really matter? We might as well be last.

We are not a good basketball team. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble. We tried mightily to throw this game away at the end, but just couldn't manage to do it this time.

We consistently make the dumbest basketball plays I've seen in a long time. It just drives me insane watching how fundamentally bad this team is. And I thought that was what GMac was going to bring to this team?

Oh well. It's a win. I should be happy. But I'm not. Sorry. I just can't get excited about this win at all. Call me a hater if you will. Facts are tough to take.

It does kinda matter for who we play in the first round of the Big12 tournament.
 
I never thought they were out of it. I predict ISU will win the Big 12 tourney. You should try having some faith instead of being a negative nabob of negativism.
Wow, now that's one I haven't heard in a long time!:yes: But wasn't it "nattering nabobs of negativism"?

I don't care, this team didn't quit. A win is a win!

Good Adjustments by Greg to get back us in the game...


Are you serious? Coaching has nothing to do with having success on the court. There are only two things that can be credited with the win tonight:

1) The players played well...coaches don't shoot the shots or play defense.

2) We finally got some good luck to go our way...coaching is mostly about getting lucky (and cheating).

It's so trendy and cool to be sarcastic about a group of guys playing their hearts out without pay.

Congrats to the guys on a hard-fought game. We all thought they were out of it, and they battled back. Craig played with authority at the end, and it paid off. They deserved a positive night.

you're right...I think we're all excited about the win, but we've got to keep things in perspecive...I thik the sarcasm is directed at us as fans and our expectations.

I am not saying that I know more than Craig or trying to say that Craig is not trying. I just had this expectation that he was going to be a Man amongst children in most games and that certainly has not happened this year. He should a little bit of that in the second half.
 
Haha I think some of you are lost. The Canada Russia board is a little bit lower.

a win is a win but we only won by 4 at home against the worst team in the Big12. This may be the last win for the year.

thanks for playing hard players.
 
that was an ok game. I actually don't think we played as well as a couple of the past games, Nebraska is just worse.

The team is still playing really hard, it'd be great to see them finally put 40 minutes together.

It's nice to see Scotty back healthy, it makes a huge difference. I think he has a chance to be a ~14 point a game player next year.

I thought that Ham had his worst game in a while, especially on defense. It was better in the second half, but still not as good as he has been playing. Although I have to point out that his is a VERY impressive 12-12 from the free throw line in the last three games.

Altogether, it's nice to win.

LOL I see what you did here.

You just aren't as good of a fan as some of the people on here.:wink:

I agree. All the banging on the players sickens me. Any sarcasm or banging needs to be directed to the man in charge of the program...the guy that does get paid and paid pretty well...GM.

You can see that it just crushes the guys when they lose. They've battled back in a ton of games, and kept most of them close - because they care so much. They don't deserve the snarky comments about them. They're giving a lot of heart and sweat for the university, and they're currently not making a dime off of it.

Sounds like you have the coaching job description down pat! Who do you think we hire after McDermott?

Here's my first choice.

I had to step away towards the end of the 2nd half but I continue to be impressed with Colvin over Garret. Colvin just is so much more natural running an offense.

He still makes mistakes but at this point I'll let him go out and make those but learn from them.
