This is just not a very good team right now. It doesn't mean they can't improve as the season goes on, but right now they stink. To me, so far it is a carbon copy of last year. Lipsey still can't shoot to save his life, and forces a lot of bad passes. Gilbert reminds me of Holmes last year...
New low in the Campbell Era, and there have been some REAL low points.
Some of the worst offensive line play I have ever seen, it made me nauseous watching that level of failure.
Did you ever think in your lifetime you would see the demise of a national, powerhouse conference, completely dismantled in about 3 days? PAC 12 has some amazing traditions, rivalries, and a lot of national championships. It was gobbled up, and now will probably be just a memory for most...
That is some of the worst shooting you will ever see at the D1 level. Makes your eyes bleed. Our post players (Shoon, Ward, Jones, and Kunc) were 0-14 from the floor, and that does not count the 2-21 from 3%.
Does anyone else find it strange other teams do not even bother guarding our point...
Totally agree. He is an absolute offensive liability. Other teams don't even guard him from mid range (10-15 feet). He is a dreadful shooter, and teams know it. 4 vs 5 in our half court set.
I have seen a lot of basketball in my lifetime, and this may be the worst shooting team I have ever seen. 8th grade girls shoot better than us. The one guy who can actually shoot the ball won't shoot it. The other guard shoots airballs and bounces shots off the side of the backboard.
The announcer said it better than any of us could... ISU can not get out of its own way. We don't lose to these teams every week because they are better than we are. We lose because we find new ways to self destruct.
When I saw that play, I literally laughed out loud at my TV! It was hysterical. This O Line is right on par with the 91-95 Cyclones teams. Jim Walden must be smiling right now. Triple option next offensive series, right?
After another 30 yard FG miss, our kickers are 12 of 19 on the year. That is 63%. That is absolutely a joke, and one of many reasons we lose close games.
I gotta throw in the old Garden Cafe downtown. They had great food, and fantastic pastries, especially the giant blueberry muffins. I am surprised it has not been mentioned yet.
Ruttles was also amazing, as was the fish tacos at Magee's.
Being a kid of the 80's, taking the wife and some friends to Duran Duran in August. Outdoor August concert in Minneapolis, should be a lot of fun.
Hoping they make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next month, they definitely deserve to be in.
Prentiss Nixon? I guess he was an average defender, far from elite. He was a dreadful shooter, he shot 26% in 3PT percentage (Jackson was 27% this year).
In my opinion neither of them are Big 12 guards, which has led us down the path to a 2-22 season. We have to have better guard play if we...
I have watched enough of Jackson to know he is not a good defender. I could find dozens of other video to prove my point, but I for some reason I don't think it will change your mind. Agree to disagree I guess.....
For those that still think Tre Jackson is a good defensive player, I present exhibit A. Watch the first 90 seconds of this video and tell me all about the lockdown defender he is. The way he defended the fast break and almost falls down should tell you all you need to know. This is just one...
