ISU in Paradise Jam

[Redbird Recon]

I've seen enough.
We're not a dancer.
We're not a Thursday.
Looks more like an NIT.

Tough when a guy goes off for 40. But 12-18 from 3 can happen when you decide zone is the way to go.

We played man about half the game. I'd say 2 of their 12 were open the rest were contested. Gibbs had about 4 of his from 7-10 feet past the arc nothing u can do on those no matter defense your in.

Having a defender flash out on a shooter after he's shooting it is not defending against the three. Yes they were hot, but the zone will sometimes do that to a team. Didn't see the second half.

When it was 30-9, I figured this was going to be a blowout. Therefore, despite the loss I think there are some positives that ISUr can take from this. Glad to see they didn't quit when a lot of team would have.

Since when are NIT teams ranked in the top 10?

ISUr has significant work to do if it wants an NIT invitation.

I'm curious to see what Seton Hall looks like in a couple of weeks when they visit Wichita. My guess is they are an RPI-75ish team this year. So this isn't some terrible loss, I don't think. But at some point, up and coming teams have to up and come.

ISUR finally played a little harder the second half. Team effort still not totally there but IMO you made some progress. However there is still a lot of playground on the team. Teddy has much talent as anyone but he sure likes to jack up the 3 ball.

Marshall continues to beat into our new players. If you want to play, you play great defense, rebound, and don't do stupid things. If you are playing and make a few shots while running the offense, all the better. However your job is to defend and rebound.

ISUr scored 53 point in the 2nd half. I think "finally played a little harder" is understating it a tad.

They also allowed 43 points. Points scored is a pretty terrible metric for "playing hard."
