Hey ISU (Rust Shack)

[TLO]

GG. Lot of energy out there tonight. Fun game to watch.

Maybe we'll see you in the Big 12 tournament.

[RustShack]

I just hope next years team doesn't have the overlooking "bad teams" and thinking their shit doesn't stink. You'd think they would stop after the first few times, but they've done it over and over all year.

[Pablo]

Well, kudos for sacking up. Don't read too much of the March Madness thread. People are just being mean in there for no good reason!

Hey Rusty.

BU: 607, 1831 24.9%
KSU: 421, 1593 20.9%
OU: 629, 1874 25.1%
OSU: 618, 1607 27.7%
TCU: 459, 1809 20.2%
UT: 607, 1787 25.3%
TT: 742, 1610 31.1%
WVU: 669, 1975 25.3%

You jack up a bunch of threes. Just because KU doesn't have ****all to stop 1. OREB, 2. Fast Breaks, 3. 1 on 1 doesn't mean you don't jack a bunch of threes and rely pretty heavily on them. So the only teams that jack a higher % of 3s than you is a team that has Travis Ford as majority of it's firepower and a shit ass team who's offense is to hold the ball and run the shot clock out. They're going to shoot a lot of threes. The only team that actually put up more attempts than you is the shitty team that wants to run the clock out.

WVU that has mostly guard talent? Shoots 3s less often than ISU.

TCU that also employs the hold the ball theory? Shoots 3s less often than ISU.

OU who has also has a bunch of guards and ****all inside other than sometimes Spangler? Shoots 3s less often than ISU.

KU who starts the worst ****ing bigs in Selfs tenure? Shoots 3s less often than you.

Now lets look at when you lose.
Maryland 22.2%
vs. SCU 5.6% (WTF?)
@ BU 52.6%
@ TT 19.4%
@ KU 33.3%
@ OU 48.3%
vs. BU 25.0%
@KSU 40.7%

So all of your bad losses (at home vs Baylor, at TT, South Carolina and Maryland), what do you know you shot a bad percentage.

The losses where you still shot well, were against good teams with maybe the exception of KSU, but they were playing good ball in that stretch, but you can argue you ****ed that one off, sure.

Lets look at your wins vs ranked opponents.
vs. Arkansas 52.6%
@ Iowa 44.4% - You told us Iowa was REALLY GOOD, so I included this one.
@ WVU 35.3%
vs. KU 45.0%
@ UT 42.9%
vs WVU 37.5%
vs OU 36.8%
B 12 UT 45.5%
B 12 OU 36.8%
B 12 KU 12.5%

So you didn't shoot below your average 36.5% in ANY of those games (@ WVU was real close) with the notable exception of KU yesterday, at which point Hoiberg realized we couldn't stay in front of an old grandma cow, chucked his offense out the window and went 1 on 1 and happened to win.

So tell me again that ISU winning doesn't rely on the 3 ball...

Yeah, let's go ahead and add today's game in

NCAA UAB 26.1%

Tell me again that ISU winning doesn't rely on the 3 ball. ****ing tell me.

It's happened to Coach K and Self, and it will happen to many more of the best coaches and programs in college basketball.

I hope you guys come back next year and kick the tournament's ass. Don't be like Mizzou and fizzle back into irrelevance after your tough loss.

Your team may have watched KU pick up #11 and then lost to a terrible UAB squad in the tournament, but don't worry, at least you can hang your hat on that conference tournament title.

Back to back conference titles, bud!

They probably will. Hell, Saul Good was posting up that Kim English Big 12 tourney champs pic only a few months ago. It just means more to some fan bases.

[RustShack]

Eh a few weeks ago I was telling some friends I'm already looking forward to next year anyways. I'll live.

In all fairness, at least ISU gets to hang a legitimate banner this season.

It's almost like we've heard this before or something.

I hope he likes jacking threes and dishing to euro trash style players.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Next year though lol.

IStransferU is looking good next year.

[Hootie]

well ISU will probably be irrelevant when Hoiberg leaves for the Bulls anyways

I'm sure Rust will then find another team to cheer for like he did when LeBron left the Cavs
