We didn't have a single dunk against Michigan last night.
The days of the Aaron White, Tyler Cook highlight reels are a distant memory. Oh well, I'd settle for this team to tighten up the defense instead of a bunch of thunder chunkies!

Iowa did have a dunk attempt, but Kreiner clanked it off the rim.
It's not about dunks; it's about defense and rebounding, especially limiting the opponent's offensive rebounds. Better perimeter defense and three or four more offensive boards and Iowa wins.
The Hawkeyes played a heckuva game anyway, and if Michigan hadn't shot so well from three, Iowa could have won. But they never let Michigan put the game away until the final minute or two, so I'm looking forward to payback in Iowa City.

Really like our prospects at guard next year with Joe T, CJ, Uhlis and Perkins. If we can’t pressure out front with those guys.....
My thought exactly. Like the current team, I'm not worried about his offense.
That was my exact sentiment when I saw highlights of one of your recruits hitting a 3. I was thinking it’s nice Iowa State will finally have a guy who can hit a shot beyond the arc.
Not that this is definitive but he got that dunk off of a steal...playing defense on the other end.
especially on the perimeter, we have about 1 guy that can keep up with just about anyone out there.. we need about 3 more!
I was always told Defense wins championships.
You can score all you want but if you can't get enough stops, you lose. Just look at last night's game.
I am pretty certain PSU has some pretty athletic and salty defenders and they just got beat by 32 points to the Buckeyes in Columbus....posted their stats in another thread but crap happens on the road.....
yes and OSU has some exceptionally athletic and sallty defenders, they will beat a lot of teams this year... home and away.
Well I mean other than last season we haven't needed a whole lot to get the win
I guess i forgot we didn't have ONE dunk btw whitey and TC. Man i forgot that..dunking is over rated. Reverse the ball and feed the post..inside out game
Foster, Dubar, and Walker all look like they can shoot the 3 well. Time will tell.
Huh? We've blown you guys out of the gym 2 out of the last 3 years
To be totally fair, I’d have to have that mindset to be an Iowa State fan too... especially for football
That is in football. Not a lot of defensive in today's NBA, just a boat race to 100 plus points
Foster was a 25% 3pt shooter last year- with another D1 post on the team.
He looks very athletic, which is great, but what I want to know is can he shoot from the perimeter. Guards have to be able to hit the 3, and have a mid range jumper.
Two very nice shots indeed. Before he came in i had noticed he seemed very very disinterested on the bench. It seemed like something was really bothering him. Not trying to start anything but it was something I noticed.
He was very impressive when he came in although.

Generally speaking I've been pretty impressed with how supportive the bench has been this year, very vocal and animated on the sidelines. I'm sure its tough on a lot of these kids to get little to no minutes each game as we have such an experienced group playing the bulk of the minutes. Kids like Perkins and Ulis were stars at the HS level, I suspect it is very humbling for them to play the role of the cheerleader this year with limited minutes in games that haven't been decided. Each of these kids could have gone to mid majors and earned more minutes their first year on campus, lets hope the keep the big picture in mind. I suspect assistants assume the role of keeping the young kids and bench players engaged and supportive, maybe Nicholas Baer as well. I'd say its been successful so far this year.
Love his movies, Psycho was great,.. Hopefully he's equally good on the basketball court...

Hope the kid sticks with it! This year doesn’t impact eligibility he has a bright career ahead of him..
