Time for Wes to shorten rotation and get some guys get 30 minutes. Ride Jizzle...he can handle 32 minutes. I see no reason for CJ to play but I'm sure he will.
Bottom line - very tough to get a win this Saturday
 
GOAT- Iowa st runs a three guard offense where he plays theee guys under 6’4” all over 30 minutes.

Iowa sts defense will be all over jizzle and day day can someone else step up to take the pressure off them two is my question. Skillings? Mitchell? Simas? In my opinion one of those three need a breakout 15-18pt game offensively to have a shot. along with jizzle and day day showing up like they’ve been.

Then we need something from betsey and reed off the bench. I’d expect little to no rayvonn and page and I really don’t think Cj belongs in a game like this.
 
Going to be tough....as Iowa St defense is top ranked. Question is....do that shots continue to go in. As I stated I do not think Wes has done much diff....so is he the coach to lead this team or is he the pitiful we coach we came to believe earlier.
 
Question to you Rob - you seem to follow this team very close....is it better to to be 19 -:13 at the end of the regular season, and head to NIT or totally collapse? If a total collapse means getting Will Wade...maybe. But I feel Wes is here regardless. Maybe us die hard fans need to accept middle of the road Big 12, clinging to the chance of an at large bid. Or accept NIT is where the bearcats will be.

Has Wes ever won a big road game or even a decent road game?? I want to buy in all the way but he’s got to prove. Can’t have another one of the down 10-2 in the first 4 minutes type starts we’ve seen far too often

Bottom line you got to win this or at Houston to make the tourney in my book.

Wes is here next year no matter what. I think as fans we got to accept that. So what I want is meaningful games and hope. Say we loose to Iowa st and Houston but then beat West Virginia, Baylor, and then slip vsKansas st in tight one and just miss the tourney I’d say there would be hope Wes has figured it out but I’d still call this season a failure. A win Saturday tho and I’m all the way back in with Wes haven figured it out.

GOAT look at Travis Steele at Miami. He maybe figured it out a little bit and maybe it’s just taking Wes longer to figure things out here than we’d have hoped. He went from a very low major to basically the best confernece in the country. Maybe He could’ve used a few more aac seasons to learn what it takes before that jump. I don’t think Wes is to stubborn to grow and still think he can right this ship. Call me crazy but I think we got a shot tomorrow
 
UC had to many ball hogs or one in one players. ISU will kick the ball to the open man. Jizzle and Day Day never kick it out after their penetration. Probably the most selfish players I’ve seen.

It was straight one on one all game. Jizzles turn then day days turn. In year 4 under Wes that’s all what we got

It’s a weak offense. Wes also doesn’t hold these players accountable for their consistent bone headed play. He is a terrible coach. Pretty good recruiter but a terrible in game coach.
 
Bcat....I agree. Wes has shown nothing in the 4 years that indicates he can coach and develop. When shots fall, all good. By how many stupid turnovers were there in the Iowa St game? How many no box out (Simas?). And somehow our guys just seem to get chasing on defense, getting beat leading to open shots....yet we can't seem to set a pic let alone get an open shot.
UC will be right here next year.

I agree. Wes has done nothing to to prove he can motivate or develop or instill any offensive or defensive identity. We will be in the same situation next year… although Wes is probably hoping Shon will be the next Lebron.
