Try and think of it like this...

[DoWorkClones]

we can beat cupcake teams cause we will win just on athletic ability alone, but once we get into big 12 play it might get ugly if we dont learn to play some d and rebound.

I say ISU go to double A

I am not upset about the losses. I am upset about the play. No want for players to get open, no want for players to get a rebound, no want for a players to go after a lose ball, no want for players to take a shot, no want for a player to play good D.

After the UNI loss, I would have thought the players would have treated the Cal game as a "must win" situation, and played like it. Doesn't mean a win was a "must," but the effort should have almost been desperate. It clearly wasn't.

I thought they would have more fire in them for the UNI game after the NW loss. In the losses they have had the fire and played like they wanted to win an a few short stints, but it didnt last long. You would think they could figure out what it takes to win, by looking at those mins.

look at PR's locker room talk and McD's...I almost feel asleep with McD's

4 straight home games.

Iowa
Bradley
North Dakota
Houston

There is no reason..we shouldn't go 4-0. By the looks of it we will have a lot of people doubting that. But if we do...were 10-3.. will we still be complaining just as much?

Should we beat UNi at home too?

Should we have beaten South Dakota State at home last year.

There's no way we're going to beat Bradley.

The last thing in the world you want to do with Greg Mcdermott as your coach is start looking down the schedule and chalking up wins.
That will never work out for you.

 

[CB21]

That's why I said try everyone. The thing is were good enough to go 4-0 during this stretch. Thats what's frustrating.

What I really worry about is that we ARE one of the CUPCAKES!

A few weeks ago I felt pretty good that our team would have a solid non-conf record and be able to compete with some of the top Big 12 teams to contend for the NCAAs.

Now, even if we end up with a decent non-conf record, I am not so sure we will be able to compete all that well in the Big 12. If we can't at least go 9-7 I really don't see us making the NCAAs.

 

[83Clone]

Exactly. We definitely won't beat Bradley, and even if we weren't sucking it up the last few games I'd say it'd be a tough one. They're pretty decent.

So no sense even playing it huh? Are we going to use the transitive theory to lose every game?

 

[justgetcy]

Come on now...we won't even beat bradley?!? Settle down gunpowder. Remember, we just got beat by CAL (a top 25 team). For you to say we will get dominated by Bradley is a bit over the top. Granted the game will be tougher than i orginally expected, i still expect to win as well as the rest of our non-conf games this season with the exception of the Duke game
