Up Next: Iowa State

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

don't forget poor 3-pt shooting while you are at it. And for those that will say we shot well tonight...point still stands.

Both teams shot 33.3% from the 3. Free throws - UNI 10-19, ia. St., 22-33.....

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

No. The 50% FT shooting and VERY sloppy ball handling by our PGs beat us. Deon had 5 turnovers, four missed lay ups and zero assists. Wasburn 6 turnovers (and 8 assists).

Noticed Jake is starting to sit Deon more after when he gets sloppy. Its the only way this kid will learn. He has too much talent to be so careless out there.

these often lead to transition buckets for the opponent. double negative.

Why didn't Marv see any floor time?

he never does

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

If I had been told we were going to OT against ISU tonight I would've been ecstatic. But once again it's the way we got to the result, not the result itself.

So do the out of control layups. It's getting absurd. A junior veteran PG has a 1.08 A-TO ratio. That is putrid. I hate harping on the negatives of 18-22 year old student athletes so I'll keep putting this back on the coaches. This kid is a talent, but they can't seem to harness it. And until they do and preach more discipline so he becomes an asset, not a liability, I am fine with his mins being more and more limited. He was a -15 on the court tonight. That is UNACCEPTABLE.

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

We will continue to struggle in the 2nd half if we don't start to utilize our bench.

Washpun played all 20 minutes of the 2nd half, and all of OT until he fouled out. Tuttle and Morgan played 18 minutes and all of OT.

Bohannon looks tired out there every time I look at him.

First half we let Morrison, Martino, Friedman all come in and play 5 minutes. Yes, those guys are a drop off in talent, but simple eating 5 minutes of that half allowed our stars to rest and play 100% when they're on the floor.

We don't have the athleticism to play only 6-7 guys. Need to be playing at least 9.

Needed another horse or two tonight. I think it is a good sign they almost won.

Great points. Last two games completely validate what you're saying.

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

No team can win consistently without help from the bench. 20-0 run by mlwk and 23-2 run by Isu. Both in second half. I sense a trend in the making.

One good sign is buss is in my mind now officially the real deal.

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

Chip didn't give us anything tonight, which I think we all knew was going to happen a few games this year, but Bohannon has to give us some production each game if we are going to win. Wes played well, just needs to develop a right handed layup, when Buss is on he may be the best offensive player in the Valley, Tut despite the nice stat line really struggled, Deon needs to slow down, Morgan played well but also has some freshman moments.

The same can be said about the post play. The coaches are simply not developing players offensively.

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

Should we just turn Buss loose and let him free reign for 30+ MPG a la Ben Jacobson 2004-2005?

He's probably the most potent offensive weapon since Jacobson and our defense sucks with or without him.

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

Good game, guys.
What a tale of 2 halves... I thought we were going to get blown out.
Nate Buss seems like he should be starting.

If your team can put 2 halves together, you would be a really good team.

I am petitioning the NCAA to just make the game one half. I think I have a better chance than us putting 2 halves together.

I will be at VCu game Saturday and am tempted to leave at halftime and just tell myself we won. Much easier on the nerves. .

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

If I'm Marvin I graduate in 4 years and then go play a year someplace else. Whether that be D2 or some other D1 school because it is apparent he is never playing here.

Re: Up Next: Iowa State

I can only speculate, but perhaps Jacobson is still committed to the up-temp style this season and Marvin doesn't show the skill set needed to play that style. Either that or Marvin simply isn't talented enough to compete against high level D1 competition.
