Maybe but it seems to me that our major issue is a lack of outside shooters.
Grimes was supposed to be a possible lottery pick. A for sure one and done. He shouldn't even be starting.
Lawson looks like an NBA player on the court but disappears for long stretches.
Dotson is damn quick but he's a freshmen. He'll carry and lead this team in years 3/4.
Vick is what he is. We suck so bad, we cant sit him out.
Doke being out is killing us. Most talking heads that I saw on TV thought that if Doke left, Zion would have came here.....what could have been....:-) [Reply]

People seem to say that just about every year in thread (the Big 12 streak was supposed to be snapped every year for the past decade), but it's actually true this time.... the common theme of losing the big man for the season, but without the outside shooting or even great defense or any killer instinct. Yikes.
@ISU was pretty much my breaking point... annoying to watch, and as opposed to the past where you never wanted to give up on them, because they could pull just about any game out of their ass at any time... other teams are now doing that. Didn't care to record the two games last weekend when I was in KC, forgot about tonight's game... sadly, they just aren't a priority. :-)
The saddest part though is they're still in the mix for the Big 12 at the moment. [Reply]
Iowa State is favored in all remaining games according to KenPom, if that makes you feel better. Des Moines, KC, and Minneapolis should be a nice little path to the Championship for us. [Reply]
