ISU Game Thread
-
Mason Coast to Coast …
-
Mason & LL came to play others not very much
-
Wellp.
-
Really - 24 foot shot is the best we could do???
-
This is a really bad loss.
-
So frustrated with the lack of intensity and smart play by our guys. They came out with zero energy and Bill did nothing to change it. Very disappointing.
-
Hopefully KState keeps kicking Baylor’s ass in the 2nd half.
-
Svi?!? Mason was the man and Svi gets the last shot?!? Huge let down game.
-
Well. That’s that.
Bad loss.

On the other hand, it is a good win for ISU - really helps there NCAA chances…
-
25 shi**y minutes
-
Our guys beat themselves and Fran is happy. They should be fully embarrassed for how bad that second half was.
-
@BShark well after 2 top 4 wins. It makes sense that we had a down game. And it took some incredible 3 ball shooting for them to do it
-
@dylans terrible coaching not letting Frank make plays. Bad all around
-
I think we quit at halftime. It happens. No biggie.
-
Damn it I’m pissed can’t make a ft, turn the ball over 22 times flat ass embarrassing
-
@HawkChamp Yes, the 2nd half was really bad. Combined with ISU being unconscious at times. That’s how we lose at home…and why it doesn’t happen often. Some key missed FTs also contributed.
-
Probably looking at consecutive losses here.
-
Whole team loss but specifically the defense was horrendous.
-
@DCHawker looked like a variation on chop called for Svi and he lined up too far behind arc.
-
Huge missed opportunity…now go KSU…for today only.

Kinda like a tournament game.
-
@approxinfinity no it doesn’t make sense. Our guys choked this one away in Michigan style fashion. No adjustments whatsoever. This is how this team will lose in March
-
Is this our punishment for all the negative press?
-
geez, lots of hysteria here. lighten up, francis. we just played the toughest stretch of any team in college basketball. we were hit with a fake news explosion. worst case scenario, we end up tied for 1st in the b12.
-
Boy this brings WVU right back in to the race.
-
@KUSTEVE it does happen, but we’ve got to win the ones that are ours to win. this WAS one of them.
-
@KUSTEVE no biggie? We lost on our home court to a team that has lost nine games! We were up big and let ISU do whatever they wanted. Embarrassing effort from everyone

Could well be, but DG had just hit one - might have liked his chance better on that shot since Svi hadn’t seen a ball go in the hoop in a while…
-
Remember r this day people. These home
losses only happen every 1.3 years. Nice job from a team that wouldn’t quit I can’t say ours did We got out hustled &!beat. Now I’m pissed 
& that’s a wrap for now. @Crimsonorblue22 drive safe talk wit ya later
-
@HawkChamp thanks, very well said!
-
@HawkChamp hey I’ll still take our guys over anyone if I had to bet money in March. 20 wins 3 losses is pretty good. It was uninspired by coach and by players too. I’m sure they’ll say the same.
-
Looked like alot of bickering amongst each other in the second half. Not sure if all the press is getting to then. Lucas a ton of rebounds but it doesn’t help if you just hand them right back. Several of those. Missed FTS at inopportune times. Very lazy defense second half
-
@HawkChamp did you think we were going to be undefeated? we gave away a game. the 2008 national championship team lost 3 games in a week and half. i think they survived.
-
@approxinfinity crazy to me… Coach just sitting on the bench alot. Like “meh”…
-
Today, we saw the impact of a short bench. Tired legs happened in the second half because Self is a guy who doesn’t sub down the stretch in close games. Bring in Vick’s fresh legs for a bit and KU probably wins.
-
@cragarhawk agree. And those tough entry passed to LL into 2 defenders were really bad.
-
Embarrassing! Losing at home! I cant fraking believe it. What the actual frak!?
-
21 turnovers was the difference. I knew their sloppiness would catch up to them and it did in embarrassing fashion. I hope they use this to be SMARTER in the future. That was just awful, awful, awful basketball
-
@HawkChamp the sky is falling…oh my goodness…all is lost…
-
@HawkChamp well didn’t we have over 50 at half? At least we didn’t suck for a whole game.
-
@KUSTEVE the way they lost is frustrating. No energy to start the second half, sloppiness all around and they didn’t force them off the three point line.

@BeddieKU23 said:
Like I said Josh lost this game
False
True he turned the ball over I don’t know how many times 2 feet from the basket and bricked 2 ft’s
-
@approxinfinity yeah pretty pathetic.
-
Our defensive efficiency ratings are going to slide quite a bit off this one…This continues to project as the worst team defensively during the Self era. Being one of the best offensive teams makes up for a lot, but teams with our DER simply don’t end up as NCAA champions…
-
@HawkChamp ok…you’ve had 15 posts in a row where you are apoplectic over this. we had a bad game. we’ll play another one monday. the sun will rise tomorrow.
-
@DCHawker the reason is that they don’t give much effort defensively for whatever reason.
-
@KUSTEVE thanks. I wasn’t good at astronomy so I needed your help. Thanks coach
-
@DCHawker I’m behind this team and I think they can be good. But there has literally not been one total game that made me ever believe they cut down nets. I’ll be happy to be proven wrong. But I think if they make the second weekend it’ll be gravy
-
@cragarhawk yeah, we probably won’t make the tournament now.
