I think this team will be vastly improved at the end of the season. Hopefully some of our “shooters” figure it out later in the season.

This team is athletic unless by athletic you mean ”can hit a 3 pointer.” We have maybe one of those guys. Need to be able to make free throws to compensate
At this level you really don't drastically just start making free throws. Make free throws and we win this game.
What was ISU's % befoe the last two games?
Lipsey's bern missing a bunch too and he was 75% last year.
I’ve watched probably 20x more nba than college. They aren’t going to spend a first round pick on Omaha if he doesn’t show a little something, it’s part of why one and done became a thing. Milan is more likely to get drafted as of now. Things can change though.
This. On Haliburton’s first few games at ISU he was already one of the best pure point guards in earth. Rare in a generation court vision and wingspan combination.
He was . Look at his numbers at ISU. He shot over 50% overall and 40% from 3pt while averaging over 6 assists per game.
Self has had several guys like Omaha who took some time to contribute significantly. Give him some time…
Watched both games this tournament, and was underwhelmed with both. We were gifted the VCU victory really. Going to be a tough row to hoe with Texas A&M Sunday too.
Sometimes these loses are good in a way. It can show how we face adversity going forward.
Momcilovic continues to impress. Lipsey and Pav had good games in Kissimmee. But the rest were really, really bad.
Omaha’s game is really a head scratcher. Something amiss there. Just watching from afar it appears that his teammates are not really close to him.

I would also like to see where Omaha is gonna help us in big12 play outside of a couple spot minutes against a team with multiple bigs
I’m starting to think Omaha isn’t a good fit with our team. I think he has untapped potential elsewhere.
Absolutely! They imploded within last few minutes. They owned us defensively damn near the entire game.
What’s going worse is that Boise State beat VCU today without much problem. Unfortunately we just aren’t very good at the moment.
Yeah, I think seeing what OU (who I thought would be one of the least of our problems in conference) has done this weekend has been eye opening.
Saw that game. VCU defensively was much more aggressive with us than the Broncos. I think both VCU and Iowa State were showing signs of fatigue in both games.
Offensively, Virginia Tech was better. VCU was better on the other side. Virginia Tech’s Pedulla was raining three’s against us at will. Had we had a decent night at the line, it would’ve been much closer. I thought T.J. was focusing on free-throw shooting at practice. Didn’t you read that as well?
Maybe fred can come teach FTs after the nebraska thing doesnt work out
