Until we learn to go inside out we are toast

[Piglet Dispersion Syndrome]

I really thought with how Portis has improved that we'd actually have a player that you had to
Double team on the block. Then work inside out to your shooters. I just don't understand our offense I guess.

The other thing so far tonight, we are so tight it is unreal. When I saw Manny Watkins throw up that brick of a free throw when he has been money all year tells you that these guys are just mentally shook up.

Let's hope this is a valuable experience that helps us in conference. You learn more from your mistakes right? We have it in spades tonight.

Worked with Miller, Day and Mayberry.

Worked with Williamson, Thurman and Beck.

MA hasn't figured it out. Not sure at this point he's gonna.

[acepoker]

We get down and fold. We are not competitive enough. Until we hate losing we will remain an emotional team; still an improved team.

[ballz2thewall]

there's no one inside to throw it to.

i was gonna mention this.

we really don't have an inside game.  NO ONE ever posts up and takes it to the rack or anywhere near. not on a worked play, anyway. some trash maybe but that's it.

We don't have a solid post player. Portis is a great four but we don't have a dominate low post threat....and we haven't had in a loooong time

I grew up on Nolan's 40 minutes of hell.  Cut my teeth on Razorback basketball with May/Day and the Big O.

With Nolan, we were at our best when we attacked the rim.  We struggled when we were forced to shoot jump shots.

This team seems to look for the quickest jump shot they can find and take it.

It baffles me.

like knot2 mentioned; we don't have the beef.

Ok, slash and cut to the basket then, but we got to find more points in the paint.

Now Kingsley just made a great low post move...and drew a foul...go figure

We have to get the players. That is year 7 in the 10 year plan.

See how easy it is when u have to double post man? Maybe Kingsley is the answer in the post. Leave Portis at the 4.

I am not against that at all...I can't figure out why we haven't done that the whole time

[Cavtastic Voyage]

Portis is our best player. He's the best player on the floor. When the rest of the team will figure that out is the question. Sammy Watkins is out of control. We cant make free throws.

yep. kingsley's always been straighter to the rack. portis fades basically every time. and that's cool but we need the opposite.

[Arazorbackguy1]

We can't hit layups.

[code red]

We are a finesse team..... I am sick of it too.

[LRHawg]

Laid down and had a good bleed tonight. This team is mentally not ready for big road games.

We played fine on the offensive end (especially in light of the very limited fast break opportunities).  Offense has looked good all season.  The loss tonight falls squarely on the defense.  I don't think we are used to playing teams that are skilled enough to consistently exploit tight man defense.  Iowa St. did just that tonight because every man on the floor could handle the ball and they were making us pay by hitting every open shot.  They are a good team though, who was hot on their home court (we should be very familiar with that story), so I don't think it is worth over reacting.  I was impressed with the heart we showed in the second half -- the team fought until the end.

. I'll have to disagree with you.  I think Moses can become a very good post player if taught fundamentals

they looked to be better individual players beating our guys off the dribble & we're definitely the better team.  Sad but true.

Great idea!!!!! Only one problem though, we don't have anyone with a back to the basket low post game. If you haven't been paying attention, Portis scores most of his points facing the basket. So sorry that sounds good but not applicable here.
