2-10 CF MAILBAG: Post questions here

When is that baby going to arrive? With your crazy schedule, I feel like I'll be listening to your radio show or podcast and you will suddenly run out all sitcom-style to have a kid! :). Seriously though, good luck! I bet your wife (and you) are ready!

whats the proper balance of panic vs calmness to have about this team? My general personality tends to panic, but then I read some posts on here and I think I am calm. Did we maybe have too high expectations for this year since we lost Mel and deandre?
 
Do you think this team will "figure it out" or "click" in late February or early March??

If so.....

Will it be due to a rotation change or players figuring it out on the court
 
Is UNI better than ISU at this point in the season as the polls suggest?
 
Why do you think it is, in situations like last night, when ISU is getting absolutely mauled on defense in the paint (14 offensive rebounds given up, 44 points in the paint given up, 20 second chance points given up), that Hoiberg won't at least try a more physical player like Edozie for 5-10 minutes? Edozie has shown he can be at least serviceable in the Big 12. Especially in the second half last night, where it was just going from bad to worse in the defensive paint midway through the second half and the OU lead was growing???
 
I thought I was in the football section when I saw the 2-10 in the title. Anyways, here is my question

This team just seems to not be right yet. Whenever I've watched them since the Kansas game in Hilton I've felt like I was watching them back in the non conference. Do you think it's a chemistry issue, leadership issue, defensive issues, or something I didn't mention?

And for a bonus question, what is one match you hope gets added to the Wrestlemania card this year other than Reigns vs. Lesnar?
 
To me it seems like this team lacks a true leader and that killer instinct. In year 2 it was Royce White. In year 3 it was Chris Babb. Last year it was Kane and Ejim. We all thought it would be Niang and/or Naz this year but it hasn't been yet. Who, if anybody, steps up for this team? If not, I feel we are in a ton of trouble.
 
Is Fred opposed to throwing a zone defense in the mix, especially when McKat is on the court? Obviously the man to man defense has been ineffective. Kruger went hard at Georges last night and he got abused, plus he was wore out on offense which resulted in turnovers and not scoring.
 
Why did the offense vaporize in the second half with the turnovers and lack of taking three point shots?
 
Since I know you are a big-time country music fan, which country song would best describe Iowa State's recent road woes?
 
I was surprised at the reaction of the board after losing to a really good team on the road. Think it's rooted in the loss at Tech and the feeling that ISU needs to steal one to make up for it?
 
What seeds do you think ISU, Iowa, and UNI end up with? This assumes all are NCAA bound which looks to be the case.
 
What's your take on Matt Thomas? He is 1-10 from behind the arc over the last five games, including an airball of a pretty open shot last night, and he seems to be a defensive liability (although you could say that about the team as a whole).

Fred went with a seven-man rotation last year and had success. Is there a chance he goes to more of a seven-man thing again and cuts Thomas out?
 
If you were stranded on an island and could only watch one more of Iowa States remaining 7 big 12 games, which one would you choose and why?
 
Why does this team let opponents go on huge runs? It has happened in most of our losses and a few of our wins as well.
