There's only two teams in this conference that terrify me and that's Iowa State and TCU and that's because they've worked over some extremely good teams this year. I just don't see it tonight.

I think we’re due for a loss, but if there are any riches associated with being the luckiest team in the Big 12, it’s picking up games like this one.

I'm terrified of every game but I think that is a product of actually having something to lose.  Makes it pretty fun though!

I just hope the refs really give them a good one to cry about.  I know how much that means to ISU.

He's not playing, at least no one here, in the media, nor any of the fans I talked to, are expecting him to.

Two different DSM news outlets reported him as out tonight, and the homeboy who I'm going to the game with tonight, he's pretty close to the program, said there's some concern that it's a long-term injury. Things could have turned in the last two hours and he feels like he's ready to play, but as of after practice last night, he wasn't expected to play.

That doesn't mean he's playing at all. Jaz Kunc is also in that pic, and he's 100% out. My guy N'guessan participated in shoot around for at least three games before he played.

Got to think he would be playing if he could, especially with Tomlin and Ish watch 3-point rebounds bounce over the heads routinely. Neither has a rebound yet.

After the 4-minute timeout, Tang sends Ish out to play defense for some odd reason. ISU misses a shot, Ish fumbles the rebound out of bounds because he can't effing rebound. On the second chance, clones get the ball inside to the guy Ish is guard. Ish overplays him to the outside despite having Tomlin's help to that side. Clone spins to the basket to an easy 2. JFC.

After the game, Tang said he's going to have a talk with his bigs, who collectively didn't get one rebound.

Bro, you have no idea. He had a big 5 points for them but TJ is going to get this kid killed. He was grimacing all night long, there was a point, where his shoulders were hunched over and he couldn't straight his back and arms. They threw all they had into tonight, there isn't any way in hell he plays on Saturday

Wow guys, is this what it felt like the whole time?  We've got some soul searching to do

Sounded really lame/ corny.

Pretty creative idea tho as it almost seems like a jab directly at Tang, WHICH IS NOT VERY CHRISTLIKE AND I DO NOT APPRECIATE AT ALL!

Cool, back to exhausting 'zif. Massoud isn't a big, never has been, never will be. The few possessions he was the biggest player on the floor for us, we played 5 out on offense. Oshun would have ate up every player on our roster and TJ committed malpractice by not going to him in the first half.

Back to the never-ending MIR making every excuse for the inexcusable. Ish is a big on this team. Yeah, I realize he'll always be a defensive liability in the post, but his rebounding is beyond horrible.

Agree, that was a really rough time to go into a drought. In all it was frustrating bc that did feel like a very winnable game. Our (comparatively) cold FT shooting, they’re (comparatively) lights out FT shooting. Also, it felt like the first 35 minutes of game time they could not miss those 15-18 ft jump shots. I would think normally we would be just fine with forcing them into taking that shot but jfc it went in pretty much every single time

No that would have been me and the rest of the fan base everytime Ish passively watched as the Clones nabbed an offensive rebound or the many times he was schooled in the post. It was certainly me when he made to critical mistakes in one of our most important defensive stands of the game. Ish is a nice spot-up shooter. It's unfortunate the rest of his game is a huge liability.

My extremely low bbiq agrees with this sentiment. Even when we had great defense under oscar, I remember being frustrated we weren’t getting more rebounds. I don’t really get what the magic is.

I was mostly bummed out because they got it close in the end and I started to think we were going to do it.  I think ISU exposed and took advantage of a few things that we'll be able to fix and be better for.

One thing I like about this team is we’ve had several nights of some really bad turnovers and sloppy looking play and yet almost always have pulled out the W or at least kept it close like last night. The talent is pretty great, and Tang has another month+ to get these guys in shape to make a Tournament run.

Post by: steaksdime on January 25, 2023, 08:54:15 AM
With both teams shooting so well there was not a large number of opportunities comparatively for rebounds. On our defensive end, there were quite a few long rebounds off of threes and then a handful of airballs by ISU. Those are difficult types of rebounds for the defense and bigs in particular. I am more worried about our defense giving up easy buckets and not having more opportunities for offensive rebounds. All that though, we do still need to improve our interior rebounding across the board.

Ish is a great spot up shooter. He is not good at anything else. That is fine, I suppose. Put him in correct situations. Less minutes at least on defense. Hopefully N'Guessan will be back to full strength soon and push Ish back to more of a situational/role player.
Title: Re: Is @ISU too much for these cats?
Post by: wetwillie on January 25, 2023, 08:57:33 AM
Nguessan is going to take minutes from bay bay not massoud.  His offense is too valuable.
Title: Re: Is @ISU too much for these cats?
Post by: BIG APPLE CAT on January 25, 2023, 09:11:15 AM
Yeah if ish stays in god mode from beyond the arc I don’t think they’ll be taking his minutes away. Our offense will work a lot better if there is more than just quis who is looking to shoot treys. I know desi can shoot the 3 but I don’t think he’s in the “I’ll take the 3 if i get the chance” mindset it seems like he’d rather take someone off the dribble

Also another thing that kinda sucked about last night, I don’t think tomlin even once successfully got a drive into the lane from the top of the key. Seems like be can usually blow by some chump on his way to an easy bucket but they were ready asf for that last night. Same could be said for keyonte. In the last minute when he tried to drive and create a shot he had nowhere to go and just ended up throwing it to an Iowa state guy and it was just that kind of night in the paint for the boys in purple (well, black technically last night, but you know what I mean)

i don’t care that the league is tough, a loss is a loss.  the loss is made considerably worse when you consider that we let iowa state dictate how the game was played and bowed to them.  i can’t watch that game and not feel like we gave them the win.

i’ve been hammering on their shitty rebounding all season and it’s just a lack of fundamentals. rebounding is all about attitude and desire and begins the minute you walk into the gym.  these guys aren’t worried about it because they want to push possessions up and make up for the opponent’s second chances through pace of play and out shooting the additional shots the other team is putting up.

Tang hinted at this during the press conference. However, I think he's saying the coaches need to find ways to help the players better. Ultimately we aren't a good rebounding team because we're currently playing one true big and we simply don't have a roster of good rebounders. We tend to pop two guards out as outlet options so we can get out and run, and that isn't helpful when trying to rebound either.

I have also noticed that we seem to be fairly aggressive with help defense and will sometimes not really guard a guy if he's not an offensive threat. That's all well and good, but it's hard to box out the guy you leave unguarded.

Yes, huge issue as well when we either double the post if we're fronting, or digging if playing behind. We give up a lot of o boards off of big misses, another thing that really hurts this team by not having an actual big. Iowa State and TCU specifically are real problems for us without N'Guessan.
