Went to the game, watched the game, lost the game


1. Some would rather talk about a poster than the game.
2. Nu hung around better than I expected against a top 10 team.
3. We are looking for the tipping point. 0-2 is expected, and 0-3, etc. 1-9, 1-12...at some point, there will be a tipping point.
4. March 10th.

The grounds are being torn up as they're prepping to build "Innovation Campus".



Injuries have had a tremendous effect. Talley would be a great addition. McCray is getting treatment on his foot but does show flashes (#0).....Walker has been getting treatment for his back, we sure could use Diaz, whether you recognize his positives or not.



They need to run the offense. I thought they did a much better job of that Saturday. Jacking up shots for the sake of jacking up shots leads to a dwindling shot percentage and no FT's.



Chosen strategy and a very sharp coaching move by Doc. MSU likes to force their pace on a team. We pretty much kept them from that. They outsized us, especially in bulk, big time. You could really see that when you watched the inside game. Niemann was the only player that could provide much resistance, but he's still a foul waiting to happen as he regains familiarity with the court, not that he'll ever be very smooth.



Agreed



As you noted earlier, we dropped 3 back immediately. You pick your poison. You take something away, conversely you give something up. We chose to wait until the ball got into their all-conference Fwd's hands and trapped from different directions in the second half. Although he's a very good player you probably noticed how often he panicked and launched passes into the crowd. This strategy helped us make the last run where we closed within 3 toward the latter-mid portion of the second half.

Unfortunately, the effort expended may have had something to do with some of our players losing their legs which may very well have led to missed shots later in the game by key players that were hitting earlier, IMO.




MSU wanted us to start running up and down the court. It's hard to say, but I think we made the right choice. You saw the teams. That was a VERY impressive team physically.



We need Diaz. He may seem soft, but he can be surprisingly effective against physical inside players. You might remember him having stretches where he outplayed KU's Cole Aldrich in many ways a few years ago.



I actually felt a LOT better after this game than I did after the Wisconsin game, although I thought Wisconsin seemed to can an awful lot of shots with a hand in their face(against good "D").

Doc really did a good job and the players stepped up and showed fight throughout this game. If we play with this effort the rest of the year we'll have some highlights.

It would certainly help if some of the health issues would start working out in our favor.

Fred, you can't be serious? You're not Doc's agent in disguise are you? ;)
 
No kidding, jay.. you shouldn't comment about the poster and instead stick to the subject, I mean that is what you are whining about, correct?
In case you are having trouble reading, I have reposted my entire post below. As you can clearly see, my post is not just limited to a smart ass quip about about another poster. It actually contains relevant basketball related discussion to the topic of the thread.

When I wrote "Some would rather talk about a poster than the game" you will note that I am referring to posts that "talk about a poster than [instead of] the game".

There s a difference between posting just a comment about another poster and posting a comment about another poster AND something basketball related on topic with the thread.

Your crush is noted.

When was Iowa's last good season? Does the occasional upset win change much in the big picture? I say no, but if you say yes, just remember, Doc and the Huskers usually do the same thing to someone that Iowa just did to Wisc.

As I said before,
