The offensive woes from MD continue.

How we hung with the Cyclones is mindboggling.
Just goes to show you than teams really can and do overlook the competition sometimes.

No way that isn't a double-digit loss if ISU didn't go into that game with a sense of "we're gonna take it to them from opening tip to final buzzer".

Hawks looked so competent on their west coast trip, they haven't been the same team since. I was hoping this was the game where we return to form, especially with a sold out crowd. At this point, I only hope for a spot in the tournament so we can say that we at least made progress.

Kael Combs does very little for this Drake squad.

Perhaps he should go back to the other Drake squad.

What a pitiful display of offense. Missed so many point blank shots.
I haven't read the thread before this and will likely comment in another thread. Loved seeing Jirak get some time. We so need more size and Trevor needs a feel for playing against this level of competition. We have our future center IMO but another big would certainly help.

Edit: didn't mean to reply to the above post here.

McCollum's teams are tough to play when you only play them once. The style they play on defense and their offense can be a challenge. The second time around, all you have to do is limit Stirtz and this team cannot compete with top teams.

We have to have the most brutal finishing schedule remaining. But my goodness compete at least!

Frustrating half but could easily get back in it with some made open shots. I want to see a lineup of Stirtz/Hausen/Banks/Fulgeiras/Jirak for some extended minutes in the 2nd half.
