37 Minute Team
- Thread starter hall4cy
- Start date
My brother in law was working a summer job in college when a spring loaded grain bin door made him lose his balance on a ladder and fall about 20 feet onto concrete hitting his head. They were very concerned that he might experience life threatening complications. He was incoherent and when we went to see him in the hospital about 8 hours later he didn't even know who his sister was when she walked in the room. This was a huge shock to his sister and me because we had no idea he was in that serious of a condition. He remembers nothing about that entire day. He ended up having to do physical and occupational therapy for months. He was pre-med at the time and ended up changing majors because he just couldn't concentrate enough to adequately do the work. He also quit playing college football despite having a year of eligibility remaining because there were concerns about how he would be able to take a hit going forward.
Completely agree with this with one caveat - and that is the coach needs to make sure his final 4 minute guys are fresh, but CSP rides the same 5 guys for about the last 10 minutes....needs to rest several of these guys with 7, 6, 5 minutes to go. Where was Tally? Where was Lewis? Nowhere to be seen for virtually the entire 2nd half. Many of the mistakes late were due to fatigue.
I think around 7 minute mark is when Iowa St went on their run, including a couple DJ threes. Do they go on that run, to get back in the game, with some of the starters out? Tricky situation for Prohm.
What really hurt Prohm and Iowa St, was the late under 4 timeout. If it happens just under 4 minutes, instead of Prohm being forced to call one with 2 something on the clock, then maybe the starters catch their breath, and are ready for the final four minutes. And Prohm still would have a timeout in his pocket.
Agree.
I know it would have been unconventional but I was hoping we'd just foul KU to get a clock stopage for the under 4 timeout. We had a foul to give at that point.
Yes. Lard (who had 1 I believe) could have fouled Alphabet Soup. It would have been a bonus if they interpreted it as a shooting foul and sent him to the line.
He went the most proven guys in that environment. If the other guys are in there who knows if the game is even close at the end. The real issue was having to use 2 timeouts, and getting them turned in to media timeouts due to timing. If you get the extra 2 timeouts then the guys get those extra breathers.
If he can pump fake and get guys in the air on those, he'll be infinitely more dangerous. I think he might be a little too small, so the defenders can wait, but hopefully he can still add that dimension this year.
In my opinion we have 4 good B12 players right now in Babb, Jackson, Wigginton, and Lard that we have to have on the floor as much as possible. The four guys that played last night, not named above, played 51 minutes and scored 3 points. I don't think we woudl've been close with more bench play.
KU road their starters and Newman in a similar fashion and were dead tired too; they were able to pull it out with the home crowd, forcing turnovers, and hitting a few more 3s.
One play last night is indicative of this team, or should I say one player. If you recall towards the end when NWB drove all the way to the hoop DJack stood like a statue on the 3pt circle. Even when NWB scored, DJ stood out there with his hands up waiting for a pass and then what happens...well, when one guard scores at the hoop, the other guard better get back, right? Oh no, DJ half-a$$ed loafed/"James Harden'ed it" about 4 steps and watched KU score a killer lay-up with no resistance. Huge play and ZERO effort from the Sr. He is NOT capable of creating his own shot. he is a 6/7th man at best, ideally with no defensive responsibilities.
I'll just leave this here for the dislikers and disagreers. From CW's column. Stats are a *****, aren't they?
3 – Iowa State’s absolutely worst offense is….
… Donovan Jackson playing the iso game.
Jackson, who has been fantastic in averaging 24.7 points per game in Iowa State’s last three contests, is 1-for-16 from the field this season when he is isolated on an opponent. Jackson’s numbers are so bad in this aspect of the game that he’s ranked in the bottom 2 percent of all college basketball players.
That's Larry E...sounds just like him. Maury John used to tell his teams just stay in the game and "I will figure out a way to win it ...at the end of the game."
First no iso does not equal never dribble the ball again. Saying you want one of your guards on a division 1 team to never dribble the ball again is asinine. I think people were pretty generous to only dislike or disagree with you.
I'm pretty sure Huggins would be licking his chops if he found out that Prohm had asked Jackson to not dribble the ball again before they go to Morgantown.
This season? Those stats are either wrong or "isolated on an opponent" is a goofy distinction. You're telling me Jackson has only hit one three-pointer in those one-on-one situations where he shoots off the dribble? Seems like I can remember at least a couple in the Western Illinois game alone.
Jackson is averaging 0.9 assists per game (14 TOTAL in 499 minutes). That ties him with Brase and Young.
His A/TO ratio is a negative number.
He is a walking talking iso.
Great spot-up shooter. That's it.
So tell me...who do you think should be getting minutes instead of Jackson, if he sucks so badly?
He and Wiggi both had bad turnovers at the end. NWB is probably the best option to have the ball and find either of those guys open for a shot or take it himself.
Team desperately needed the under 4 T.V timeout. Don't know why they didn't just hack azubuike with a foul to give and regroup rather than burn a timeout like they did.
