UNI vs. ISUb

[sevelev711]

I want to blame turnover issues on the team being 90% freshmen but I know I'm just setting myself up for disappointment years from now when this team loses in the Sweet 16 because they turned it over 25 times.

Turnovers were more than double our made free throws. Two or three FTs would have totally changed the last minute. Another "playing just good enough to lose" game.

Maybe football will get me out of this mood. Glad the first couple are indoors - have fun you other teams! Where are they getting in any real practices?

Back to back games we would've won had we made free throws at an average rate.

[Panther AC]

Missed the first 8 minutes. Is Berhow injured? Did he piss off Jake? We scored 7 point and had 8 turnovers over 12 minutes before Carter made that shot and our best scorer didn’t see the floor. Very weird.

Berhow, Born and Anderson each had two fouls early in the first half and sat most of the rest of the half.

[Khan4Cats]

Shot three more free throws, made one fewer.

On the other hand, Tytan Anderson is about as advertised. 3 games played and he is 4th on the team in steals for the year with 9.

Once again, free throws and turn overs. At times, we looked pretty bad. Yet, we still had several opportunities to win this game. I am hoping that with more experience we will clean things up. Does anyone know why Betz wasn't playing?

[UNI Ka-Bullseye]

They hit three contested, very difficult shots in a row to keep us at bay, then hit a wide open three to go up 8, not because of good ball movement or slow rotations - we just failed to guard that guy. All the while our last four trips (I think) to the FT line were two missed front ends, Pickford missing a pair and Berhow hitting one of two. That’s 1 point out of a potential 8. Difficult to win many games that way. Even so Born has three chances at 3 in the final couple minutes - if he hits one of those we’ve got a possession to win it at the end.

Tough watch yesterday. The defense with Ty and Ty on the court is really good. Unfortunately it is pretty poor when they are off the floor. The most frustrating thing to watch are the turnovers, not matching up in transition D and then the lack of situational awareness. Late in the 2nd half there was an offensive rebound and they passed it around the perimeter for 15 seconds and then threw it to Phyfe 18' from the rim with 3 seconds on the shot clock. What's he supposed to do with it there? It led to a bad shot and wasted possession. There were a couple possessions of good defense and then UNI closed out on a shooter with no urgency and hands down leading to uncontested jumpers with less than 1 second on the shot clock. Pickford was the only guy who was effective on Key and hopefully is on him all game today. Would love to see Born look for his shot more on the perimeter. I don't think this team has a better option out there.

When all else fails, blame Farley.

It's time to start battling out of the Thursday slot and make something of this season. Let's get a win today!

[kochrab]

Man. The guys look super frustrated already. They look so demoralized, especially with these loose balls just falling into ISUb's hands.

[MNpanthers]

Would it hurt to just once have some decent free throw shooting? It's just killing us

[orangetennis]

Our tip in game is weak too

[CyCarp]

It legit looks like nobody wants to be there.

[orangetennis]

These turnovers are so killer. They have them more shot attempts than we do!
