I agree that the rotations don't always make a ton of sense to me, but as you say I don't have near the information the coaching staff has. I'll judge on the season as a whole, and that is an amazing success. People can pick apart rotations and criticize offensive plays like they are experts (most are not) to fit whatever narrative and bias suits them. It is what it is.

Agreed. It's been am amazing season but we've always had this floor when we can't hit shots and especially when the frustration sets in. I'm over it. On to Baylor.

Yeah, I regret not going out and taking advantage of the beautiful weather we had today instead. Wouldve been a great evening for a run or grilling out.
You've got May-September for that. This is BASKETBALL SEASON. Get your priorities straight!

Generous of you to call what we watched "basketball"
Well, technically........ If you play a sport against an opponent with a thing called a basketball, isn't that basketball?

Now, was it played well? That is debatable I guess.

Happy to provide a smile. Wished I could have provided a smile by punching the younger white official from tonight for everyone. But alas, I could not get close enough. So, this will have to do.

My family thanks you.

I thank Tre Jackson, Jaden Walker, George Conditt, Gabe Kalscheur and Robert Jones for being Cyclones.

TJ, time to upgrade those scholarships

This will interesting...roster movement will be fascinating this year. Feels like this year might have been the quick fix to right the ship (and I'm grateful for that) and now we begin the anticipated rebuild. With the realities of the transfer portal, however, who the heck knows?

This was not a quick fix. It was setting a foundation for defense. ISU will be better in the long run with that in the team's DNA.

Yes...good point on the foundations of effort and D....was mostly referring to the players they have to implement those things.

Got to give Oklahoma State credit too though. Coach Boynton has absolutely done an incredible job getting his guys engaged every game this year despite the ineligibility for the postseason. Those guys play hard every game, and really don’t get blown-out when they do lose. Remarkable. He should get recognized by the conference for his efforts in some capacity.

We're one of the worst offensive teams in all of P6 basketball with a 4-star and a top 3 player in the conference on the roster, it's not just one game. I think it's a fair assessment to say we need to add someone on the staff who knows what to do on that end of the court.
Brockington is a boss and Hunter will be someday but the rest of the lineup offensively is duct tape, hopes and dreams and streaky shooters. Just a rock fight of a game where Brockington wasn’t making his usual looks and OSU found a wave of momentum. OSU is an *elite* defensive team who’ve been on the wrong end of a lot of close games in a hard season for them.

We run so much of what we do for Brockington’s special skill set that I’m not sure we’re even looking at TJ’s long-term scheme.

Kalsheur isn’t a streaky shooter. He’s straight up a bad one.

Good news is we don't have any more home games.
I so badly wanted to be the one to post this. How strange and yet how true a statement is this?
I don't follow recruiting that closely. We have a couple guys coming in that score some damn points?
No. The freshmen coming in will struggle to be year 1 impact players imo.
How does George Conditt play 28 mins and grab 0 rebounds?
Several times tonight I saw him fight for and win position underneath. The problem is he wouldn't jump and guys like Cisse have massive enough wingspans to reach over him for it. I'm not sure if he's flat footed, uncoordinated or what, maybe poor hand eye coordination. Whatever the case he doesn't ever seen to jump for boards which has resulted in poor rebounding numbers from our biggest dude. You seem jump to dunk, so I lean more towards it being a coordination issue.
