Whats the biggest problem with ISU MBB?
- Thread starter aaronrodgers
- Start date
Obviously there are some personnel deficiencies on this team, just as there are with virtually all teams not ranked in the top 10.
We are missing a true PG, and we're a little thin (depth) and small (size) in the post. Not exactly earth shattering news.
We're still pretty good though. We can definitely beat just about anyone at home, and anything can happen in neutral site games.
We just have to take care of business and win 3 more. Then hope that our 3-point shooting gets hot in the NCAA. That pretty much sums up where every team ranked from 25-60 is right now.

Everybody knows that winning starts with good gurad play. Especially point gurad. If you're going to have one great gurad, it should be your point gurad.
You mean besides overreacting fans on messages boards after losing on the road to a superior team?
Help me out Senolcyc. You seem to be familiar with aaronrodgers' new term. Is it pronounced Goo-rad, Grr-rad, Goo-rod or Grr-rod? I want to make sure I am pronouncing it correctly at my next cocktail party.
It's GOO-rad as a noun ("he's a fine point GOO-rad") but it's goo-RAD as a verb ("you can't goo-RAD me, beeyotch").

One he starts recruiting gurads, I'm sure they will come. Gurads are almost impossible to find unless you have live bait, so it takes a bit of time.
Although this thread derailed almost immediately, I'll answer at face value.
I think this team has done pretty well adjusting to the point-guard situation, lack of depth at center/power forward, and the reliance on the 3 has more upside than downside.
We also have a center who can pass like a point guard.
Or "gurad" :smile:
Of course yur rite he is just a squawk troll....but I will say that when we play at baylor we usually
Play One of our Worst Games of the Year....
We er ISU men have never played well in the ferrel center and probably never will,
so we will just have to Live With Our Lousy Results Year after Year....
Bummer...I was hearing rumors Fred was going to pass out coupons to loyal fans.
EDIT:I probably don't need this but wanted to be sure
I totally agree with this. We may not have won had we had a better first half, but I believe it would have been a nailbiter at the end had we taken advantage of missed opportunities. How many wide open looks and lay-ups did we miss / rush? Too many! Plus, that technical was a huge momentum changer. They score 5 points on that - an absolute killer. I realize you can't let a team dunk on you time and time again, but, if we shoot a good percentage in the first half, I believe that we have a lead at the half, BU feels added pressure on them & comes out much tighter in the 2nd half. JMHO
