Tre King next year?

[CoKane]

I don't have a Holmes question.

Correct, I probably shouldn't have put it in a reply to you since it was tangentially related

I feel like the last 2 games Bob has had some very good passes out of the post for 3's

He’s flashed to help and gotten back creating some turnovers as well

I agree they need to play inside out, but that doesn’t mean the post players need to shoot more. I guess that was my point. Pointing out shooting percentages of our post players made me feel like some want the post players to shoot more, but ISU needs their guards to create from the passes out of the post.

When the guards are shooting 20% on a given night, I definitely want other people trying to shoot the ball. Throwing up your hands with the "well the guards are off tonight so we are going to lose" attitude seems rather simplistic and short-sighted. If said guards won't run the ball through the post like they are supposed to, there are spots on the bench from which they can adjust their perspective.

Get one, Sherlock.

He has another year and will be a key piece. Wish we'd go to him more in the post this year

Agree. He’s really struggled the last few games offensively, but I like him. I’m a little unsure if he would want to come back. Just a gut vibe.

Time to finally ban this Hawkeye troll.

When he is under control utilizing his strength/body he shows potential all big 12 talent. I can’t help but think how much the lack of playing( mind boggling ncaa) has set him back.

Wut?

Not really. Eli King was the only available guard who didn’t play, and he’s not it. You can win without a post presence. It happened the majority of the season for Iowa State last year and they made the Sweet 16.

He sat out nearly two years to play for us. Next year where he'll have a bigger role, I hightly doubt he wants to leave.

Yes, he has the most strength out of our post and can finish around the rim. Should be fed more going forward with how much our guards struggling

 

[daniel22]

He needs to learn how to defend without fouling. He will get more touches if he’s actually in the game. His per 40 minute fouls have never been less than 5 and have been more than 6, 3 out of 4 years.

I feel like the entire team outside of Gave fouls too much. Glad we have started going zone more to protect the guys.

Yeah. Before the recent games, Black Hole Bob would put up a shot and some of these were comical. Now, unless he is deep in the box, he may still make a single move but then would pass out of it.

Today:
King 2-4, Osunniyi 2-4, Jones 2-5, Kunc 4-10: 10/23, 43%
Kalscheur 4-14, Homes 2-16: 6/30, 20%

GC has been off for a number of games now. JH has had a couple of near 50% games recently, but an equal number of recent really bad shooting games. It seems there has to be a better strategy than just letting these two fire away when they aren't hitting. Set some things up for these other guys. 43% isn't rock awesome, but it is way better than 20%.

We shot 27 threes today, and that's just too many for us. 15-20 at most seems to be our sweet spot, unless our shooters are on fire out there. Need to work harder to get the shots we want.

Why? Next year could look like this

Lipsey
Williams
Watson
Biliew
King
Grill
Jones
Hamilton
Ward
Momcilovic
Fish
King
Transfer

I don't think everyone of those players will still be here, but they might. That's a damn good team. He would be a big part of it.

Yeah unless Gabe and Grill are shooting well anything over 15ish is too much. Especially against a team like KSU. They're good but not the best defensive team in the conference

If only you could add AJ Green to this lineup…

Lol... Yeah, I wish. Would he have even been eligible next season?

Tre is Demarion's big brother???

Great to have them as Cyclone brothers.

TJ has work to do. Center and SF could each use a starter from the portal.
