      Hope I'm wrong
      I'm the same way. Their 4th and 5th year guys are starting to not make mistakes. Mcintosh is really good. Good enough for Kentucky at one point.

      I know they shot it a lot better than we did (they had much better looks) but I am really surprised how much difference the defense is between the 2 teams.

      Mostly how we haven't improved at all defensively, maybe even regressed some throughout the year.

      Certainly if they shoot 54/46/67 the rest of the season they won't lose much, if at all.

      Mostly disappointed with how we were so successful in the paint for stretches then went away for longer stretches.

      But ISU was tougher and made shots, so they win.

      The next question is can we not let them beat us twice? Must come back and be much much tougher against Evansville and start to build things back up.

      I won't be like UNIfan and talk at large, not because I don't think 29-5 doesn't get in (it does) but because I don't think this team can be that consistent for the next 14 games.

      I trust there will be some CheerAngry fans ready to go next home game, when ISU visits the 316 and St. Louis, because the spoilage is over.

      • No heart, no angry...so sad.
        When your not practicing, someone somewhere is and when you meet him...he'll beat you.

        • Conner and McDuffie need to shoot the ball more. Should be top 2 in attempts every night.

          • Those who think next year will be better, I'll take that bet right now.

              Remember, The Final Four team lost three straight before righting the ship.

              Need a leader to emerge from the darkness. They just need to know, not all heros wear capes!
              That team had the "it" factor. I don't see that with this group. Still love em though.

                Who said we're awesome? The problem is the high-low, emotional personality types who think in a given night we are either the best, or the worst.

                • We knew this was going to be one of the few games that we can lose and we did. ILSU is good team and veteran team. It is what it is. Our JUCO guys looked like JUCO guys tonight. It'll tighten up as the season progresses. Can't wait to stick it to em in February.

                  • Similar to last Season's loss there but worse. Zone was similar and our shooting was off. Tonight, both halves were also similar. They won both periods of play. Shaq got a lane violation in both periods. The birds had several offensive rebounds by going over our back with no calls. I do think their bench outscored ours which really surprised me. Seemed like CF passed up wide open 3's and then started shooting some wild ones. MM played much better in the 2nd half as did Shamet. It is what it is. We will definitely repay them in Wichita.
                    Shocker basketball will forever be my favorite team in all of sports.

                      ... So a team that is a year older won't improve at all? This is a young team.

                      • ISU eanred it

                        How any times have you heard 'Guards win basketball games."
                        Your Honor I would like to submit exhibit #1 as evidence.

                        Shamet was decent, but Smith looked very JuCo and I'm not sure what the hell Frankamp was doing out there.
                        I'm not even going to start on Shaq.

                        Lee on the other hand smoked them time after time.

                        Oh, and Mikyle McIntosh is a bad man.

                        STL just got more interesting - and important.

                        That is all.
                        Above all, make the right call.

                        • It's still gonna come down to February 4th. No different than UNI 2 years ago.
                          Where oh where is our T. Boone Pickens.

                            Lol - go ahead and hang your hat on Kenpom - but WSU is not a Top 24 team.

                            • This group of guys gutted Shocker Nation tonight. Coach...go get a mean mother effer that will make out kittens change their entitled attitude!!!

                                If you don't think a year will make each player better, your fanIQ is bad.
