You mean only random iso **** and chucking contested shots doesn't work?
We lived and died by our outside shooting. I know that sounds like basic basketball. But we had no rebounding, limited inside play, and an average defense.
All the TV personalities were talking about how this offense is soooooooo dangerous, but they weren't anywhere near as potent as most all of the other ISU tourney teams. LW can get to the rack, but the rest of the team seems to blindly just run into defenders in the paint, or into seams that just aren't there.
Anywho this team had a lot of youth and while I expected a tourney appearance, I only anticipated a 7-10 seed, and certainly no B12 tourney championship. Onward and Upward.
Yah know what every single ISU team in recent years could use? Tyrus freaking McGee.
The other day I was thinking how he was one deadly mofo. As good as Nazzy was, McGee was the man. I really miss Tyrus McGee in a Cyclone uniform. He was a special kind of sniper.

Had trouble creating things for a drive to the lane.
There are 3 on this team that LOVED going to the lane when nothing was there after dribbling for 10 seconds.
We were missing a big with ability to finish at the rim. Lard was really good last year in that role but seemed to regress and couldn't stay out of foul trouble this year. Jacobsen had some good games where he showed some post moves but was inconsistent and was slow to get up when he caught the ball under the basket. Depending on how the roster plays out, I could see Jacobson as a stretch 4 and Lard as the 5 in next years starting lineup. Assuming MJ, Lard, Conditt, and Solo are still here we should play 2 bigs most of the time just based off roster construction.

Yet we have guys like tht and wiggington that can penetrate to the rim pretty well
The only one Fred might have slight interest in would be DRob but I doubt that he would try to hire him.
Offense is fine. What we are missing is defensive toughness. Someone with an attitude like Hogue or Kane would have done wonders for this team.
