*** Official Ole Miss vs #15 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

Have some ****ing pride.

It's one thing to throw Kelderman out there to give Tamin a rest when we're up 10+. But when we need a ton of points it makes no sense. He's basically a zero on offense.

 

[awd4cy]

The program now is in so much better shape to win conference titles and make NCAA runs than when Hoiberg was here. If Fred's teams had an off shooting night it was a guaranteed loss. TJ's teams are good defensively. I mean real good most of the time. They run the packline about as well as anyone.

TJs teams don’t appear to be good enough offensively to get to the next level. Is what it is. Sweet 16 will probably always be our ceiling.

The Cade Kelderman thing is fine, but we can NEVER be put in a position where he is the best option again.

 

[madguy30]

You’re right, let’s stick with Kelderman and continue losing by 20 instead of trying Jones at PG with Watson’s size and athleticism on the court.

And then when Jones needs a break or gets fouls?

 

[AllInForISU]

Defense hasn't been great.

I agree, but they have left 10 points out there on FT and I can think of 3 wide open threes (no one within 5 ft) that didn’t fall

 

[Old87]

Hopefully this team will remember this game and use it for motivation for next year.

 

[CyGuy5]

Getting 20 pieced by Ole Miss. You can’t make this stuff up

 

[JEFF420]

can't wait for the boys to spin this one!

 

[Sparkplug]

Why is radio 2+ minutes ahead of tv?

 

[t-noah]

All season the same thing when things dont go our way. No fan of this coach…there; I said it.

It's one game. What a dumb take.

 

[Clonefan32]

They have very physical practices

Also they whole margin of victory NET stuff has guys playing a lot of minutes they would not normally play

You might need to re think it.

Houston normally flames out too

That’s where the reevaluation has to happen. We have the dudes to make the tournament. I’d rather be a fresh and healthy 6 seed than a gassed 3 seed

 

[CoachHines3]

ima go see if i can get it in with my wife

peace

no dice

“my stomach hurts”

such BS.

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

Remember everyone, this is actually your fault for not spending enough of your money on this. If these guys were making $200,000 instead of $150,000, we’d only be down by 10.

 

[helechopper]

There’s a lot of time left.

 

[Raiders70]

Simply put, we are not making a 17 pt comeback with Kelderman in the game.

Lipsey is to beat up to play 40 minutes. appreciate his guts and resolve but quite frankly he probably shouldn't be playing at all.

 

[deadeyededric]

People have to realize that we are always going to be able to put together a great 5 man roster under TJ, but with NIL and stuff, adding enough strong scorers is always going to be the ceiling. It means we have a very narrow margin for injuries or slumps, and that is what you are seeing.

TJ is a stud, but he can’t shoot the ball and Gilbert out takes a massive toll.

Relax with the coach comments.

If they lose tonight it's not like they choked. This team has bean beat up into a shell of what it was 2 months ago. Has anyone dealt with key injuries like ISU?

 

[AuH2O]

To be fair Fred’s first 4 years probably would have been level with TJs had the transfer rules been the same in 2010. Still great start here in Ames.

I think the opposite. Fred was successful because no one else wanted to do what he did in year 1, which is keep a pipeline of sit transfers.

Now that the transfer rules are what they are, Fred is worse than Danny Nee and Tim Miles.

 

[Thomasrickj]

For how excited we were, even after the two point loss to Auburn, it just feels like everything has gone completely wrong since that WVU loss and never recovered.

 

[madguy30]

TJs teams don’t appear to be good enough offensively to get to the next level. Is what it is. Sweet 16 will probably always be our ceiling.

They've immensely improved on offense each season.
