Who ever the is person in charge of working with the offense should be fired on the spot
- Thread starter CoKane
- Start date
Iowa State is 0-4 vs. quality OOC opponents this season and got run out of the gym all four times (UConn, @ Iowa, @ Mizzou and Pitt). UNC and Villanova turned out to be fool's gold. The conference schedule was up and down, but at least their was some UP. Me thinks the metrics that rank the Big Xii teams so highly needed to be adjusted, because I just don't see it - especially with ISU. Today was beyond awful. I tuned out at 10-1, because I knew where that train was headed.
You should never be lecturing anyone on message board decorum.
Lol. You’re on full tilt. Do you want his email and phone number? Not hard to find buddy.
The football team consistently made bowl games and were like 6 plays away from one last year despite not being very good.
In that realm I'll sign up for another tournament BB team.
Right? We need like, the best recruiting class in school history, or something. Get on it, TJ!
That's not to his face though. Unless I attach a video, I guess we gotta sort out that technicality
In this tournament, you kind of have to throw out a chunk of the statistics in the regular season. This is a reset and a fresh start for everybody so there is some unpredictability with how teams perform in the tournament when compared to the regular season.
Pitt had statistically a bad defense. With that said, their coach did a masterful job scouting our flaws. They did what all teams that blew us out this year did. Clog the lane completely and force us to hit contested jump shots, run us off the line. (Which we are not good at). When the lane is clogged anytime an ISU player drives… wall up and contest. Rebound rebound, rebound, and limit them to one shot. They executed that to perfection.
With that said Iowa State could not of executed any worse on the offensive end and are better than that. While Pitt had something to do with that, the moment was just too big, nerves were too high, and it was a perfect storm of bull$hit. Our limited roster became completely limited, great job by Pitts coaching staff.

Isn't great? It's literally dribble and pass around the perimeter for 25 seconds and shoot a bad shot with 2 seconds left on the shot clock. OR, try to feed the ball to Jones. I'm chalking it up to lack of talent, but yikes.
It was an embarrassment to Iowa State and the former players, alumni and fans. How sad our basketball rep has become. This is sh**ball and looks it! Clear the bench and start anew! Orr is crying tears right now!
Honestly, I'm not even giving credit to their coaching staff. The box score will make it look like they did something spectacular, but it was just a **** storm of Iowa St missing shots, and it avalanched into zero confidence from everyone.
I'd be curious to know what changed. It's just one example though. Williams shot 23% last year at Temple.
TJ made just as many Sweet 16s in one year at ISU as Johnny did in 14.
Have some perspective.
Spoiler, Johnny's dead so he's probably indifferent to our loss today.
Man I've been here 10 years. That's what I do best(worst?).
Pitt watched our last game against Kansas and executed the same game plan essentially. Stay on Gabe wherever he goes as he is our best scorer. Pack the paint and show no respect to any of our other perimeter players. They can pack the paint even further when Tamin is in the game and essentially play defense 5 vs 4.
We shot 2-21 from three and couldn't punish them and force them to adjust their defense despite having quite a few good looks. Not to mention every single one of our bigs was a zero today. We just don't have enough quality shooters or shot creators on the team right now. We knew already that we are not a good offensive team but this performance is an outlier in just how terrible it was.

Imagine tuning out of a tournament game in the first 5-10 minutes. Unreal.
