You people are insane.. how is playing in two blowouts where you are clearly the superior team the same as playing tight, stressful games against Houston and Kansas... two physical and athletically loaded teams.

Also the SU style of defense is much more intense and requires more than Iowa State... Also Iowa State's D got to play against a much easier offense than ours did because they were playing against us. We are very easy to guard and don't require going all out. There are also ways to play D more efficiently and effectively that don't require the max effort that Red wants... hopefully he learns this as a coach.

Then there is the issue that the team is mentally fatigued because their shots aren't going in and they panicked. Please tell me all of the times when as adults everything was going wrong for you and you didn't lose spirit or hope. Now tell me the time you did this as a teen/young adult on national tv playing against elite athletes who are ready to go for the kill.

Give these poor kids a break... They clearly left everything on the floor. What more can you ask of them?
Or try coaching an overmatched team against 3 straight quality opponents.
