Should be coming up here on Twitter after Mullins talks to the players.  I'll need at least another beer before listening.

I believe those are incorrect as Brown hit a meaningless 3 at the end of the game.  

Just realized they gave it to Harwin Francois for some reason

Given the missing senior guards, this went about how you’d think, other than a few too many sloppy turnovers and defensive breakdowns for my liking.

Hoping for a much better showing and healthier squad vs. the other ISU on Saturday.

Listening to the press conference right now and Coach mentioned ISU's freshmen BIGS and how important they are to the team.   I pray this is a lesson learned and that this staff focuses on getting some bigger, stronger players next year.

Lance Jones not having a good game tonight

He was pretty good the last 10 minutes. Made some impressive drives to the basket and scored 8 pts. Also had a couple of steals.

Yeah definitely looked like he got more comfortable at the end of the game.  I've been impressed with Jones lately so hope he keeps improving as the Valley season goes on.

Benson is bad, Francois is bad and is jones bad.  It’s going to be a long season. Replace whole lineup with underclassmen let’s see Mullins coach. Time to put the big boy pants on. I was never a Mullins lover for higher but let’s see what he can do. The positive from this game is that they only had 9 turnovers. Better but we are starting behind the eight ball. Ok now go a head and bash me I can take it.😶

It's such a minor thing and I'm sure someone will catch it and change it but I can't believe they gave Francois that 3 at the end instead of Trent Brown.  I wonder how often that actually happens over the course of a season.

Step back off the ledge guys. Just write this one off. We were without our two best players.  We can't get too high or too low this year.

Granted, I didn't get to watch because I was hoofing it across Kansas but I did listen. We weren't expected to win even with Cook and McGill playing.  It's a teaching moment and no players got tossed under the bus after the game. 

As far as getting some inside bulk...we might be waiting a very long time for that. Mullins has stated repeatedly that he prefers a four-guard system. We may have more than one big guy in the future but he will not play them together if he sticks to his plan.

Let’s play “what-if”. What if Barry had not resigned at the end of last season? The scholarship grip was all out of whack because BBQ was trying to save his job, who would the bigs in the lineup be right now? I can solemnly assure you that Marcus Domask would not be a Saluki. Mullins and Co. did a remarkable recruiting job in assembling this years team, and it’s only going to get better, so settle down girls. PS we will pick up two bigs.

I absolutely love Domask, but not sure I agree with you on this one.  Williams and LaRavia looked like season veterans while Brown continues to prove he needed a redshirt and Jones just drives with reckless abandon hoping to either get fouled or pray that someone might be open down low for a pass (lacks court vision) .
