This team really has no excuse. At least you could partially blame 2020 on lack of preparation. Even Gillespies teams played with more heart and for the jerse though they were poorly lead.

Dude, we didn't even deserve to be in the tournament. A lot of people could run us off the floor. The only reason we are in this game is a lucky half court shot.
Oh, I don't think Iowa State is done running teams off the floor. He's got a week to prepare his team for missing their star now by, you know, coaching.

Aberdeen did pretty good most of the year as the PG but today was a day we had to have a true PG that could handle the pressure
He and Oweh were the only players we have that go handle the ball under pressure and neither of them is without a few turnovers. Everybody on the team, besides them, is out of their league against this kind of defensive pressure. I am thankful we did not play Houston.

He still hasn't learned that squinting at the scoreboard and scratching his head, doesn't help the team.
I would assume that Pope has forgotten more than I’ll ever know about basketball,

but I could see that Iowa State made adjustments, they started using full court pressure and trapping.

On the other hand, I have seen no adjustment on UK. Just standing around no movement and dribble dribble dribble.
