With KSU rated 10th should I go ahead and start 5 meltdown thread and 11 fire Coach mac threads now just to make it easier on lots of people later?
FEAR!

Gotta get the handle down low so we can kill some easy shots.
ISU playing hard - let's hope they don't run out of gas!

Somebody on our team needs to grow a beard. I vote for Justin Hamilton. I can just picture him with a big sweet Amish-style beard.

Who would have thought KSU would be tough on the boards?
We gotta get in there and eliminate their 2nd chance points

Wow Mac just made a gesture and asked for the crowed to get pumped up! That was awesome. No emotion huh?

Alright, win or lose if Brackins and Gilstrap can keep this up for another 20 this team has reaffirmed my respect.

Something is different about the team today.

Please, please, please basketball gods - let the 'Clones avoid a bad second half start. This is too much fun...

Does anyone think Frank Martin looks like Bullet-Tooth Tony from Snatch?
cycopath25
Ok we can't have our usual start of the 2nd half let down.
nj829
1st 5 minutes of the 2nd half will be the key, trying soooo hard to not get too enthused over this one so far, but am not having much luck...hopefully this can be the game that turns the tide for GMac and Co...

That's fine... they should all come out angry and kick the **** out of KSU. Maybe this is good that we are playing a very physical team like KSU, and it will rub off on us.

1) stop shooting 3s so early in the shot clock
2) call a ******* timeout thanks
CloneIce
Scotty's shooting is killing us! He has got be able to knock down the open jumper!
First 4 minutes of the second half killer again. No timeouts from Gmac, again
cycloneworld
Can we not call a timeout??
And why have we abandoned the "get the ball to Craig Brackins" plan that worked so well in the first half? Instead we let SC jack up missed shot after missed shot?

Hoping for a good second half start from a McDermott coached squad is like hoping the national defecit will soon be balanced
Poor McDermot
Erik4Cy
I've never seen a team or teams in McD's case that are SO bad at the all important start of the 2nd half. We lose so many games coming back from the break right away. I've been very impartial and fair to McD, and am not one of the ppl calling for his head yet, but man he REALLY sucks at preparing his team for the beginning of 2nd halves

We need all of those timeouts at the end of the game...you know, when we are down by 20 and need to make some adjustments
benjay
this game is going exactly how I predicted. The only question is this: Why do I keep watching this train wreck?
Clones85'
Gotta love McDermott. Anyone who actually thinks this guy is doing a good job needs to see our stats the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half. It's pathetic. They have outscore us by 13 in the first 5 minutes of the half. Getting outcoached so bad! Tired of it
And to think HE turned US down.
tim_redd
Does this game look familiar to anyone?
every game under gmac at isu?
My God they hate him.
thatguy
It is the same thing over and over. I don't know how anybody could think it was going to be any different. Craig is hurt, the guards are gassed and McDermott is being out coached.
Do SLTHs get out coached?

Okay, I realize this is pattern, but do you really think McD's coaching overthrew an inbounds pass, or lost the handle on the ball at the top of the key? He may be getting outcoached, but our players acting like idiots is the reason we have these problems
Finally someone has his back!

Exactly, and if we hadn't lost 18 straight games to ranked opponents. This isn't just a one game, or one year thing
If it ever comes to this for us again I'll just kill myself.
Greglixhislips
Bad passing, bad ball handling and bad decision making consistently for 3.5 years is a direct reflection of coaching. Sure, coaches get somewhat of a pass when players play bad every once in awhile, but this is horrible and why do you enable it by giving him excuses?
sodakjoe
We're in the bonus, so if we can manage to make FTs down the stretch (yeah, big IF), we may not be in such bad shape right now.
CloneIce
Need some stops! this isnt done yet.
ISUKyro
Hamilton just got run over and no call!
**** YOU REF!!!
Call strap for his 4th instead!!! WTF!!

Do NOT get your hopes up with this team, that's when they punish you for having good thoughts
We've all been here before. :-/
Tedcyclone
seriously down 4, then down 12 in less then 1 minute... how the hell do we do that
sodakjoe
I told myself I wasn't going to watch this game because I was just going to get frustrated and regret it. Then I saw we were hanging well, and turned on the TV for the last 10 min of the first half, going great, and now we're here and I think to myself, "Why didn't I just trust myself and not watch?
CTAClone
i'd love to have clemente

Why can't we cover that Clemete or however you spell his name? Always need to keep a guy on him at all times.

here's something to make you sick - Frank Martin was hired after McDermott.....

Not a fair comparison at all. Look at the talent that Martin was left with when he took over compared to McDermott. Not even close
HititHard
This game illustrates the simple truth K State made the right coaching move 4 years ago and we made the wrong one
Balls
We suck. Not sure what else to say. Coaching change needed ASAP, preferable yesterday. Just awful. The only players that I would have concerns about leaving are Colvin and Oliver. Otherwise I think Scottie, Hamilton, Garret, Dendy, and Boozer will all stay regardless.
I suppose Pollard would need to wait until the end of the season to even mention the idea, but sure hope he is looking around right now and finding a potential replacement.
Appalling.
There are a few more posts bitching about McNeck and arguing about why Frank is so much more successful. The thread is like 35 pages long and I went to 30. Figure "Appalling" was a good stopping point!
