I watched it. I saw Justin Smith for a bit in the box score when I was watching the game. I think it happened when Bradley entered the game.
I went from being totally angry in the first half to cautiously optimistic by the end of the game. ISU shot horrible in the first half and gave up 5-10 dunks in the first half off of poor rotations on D. The offense looked way out of sync the first 10 min or so.
Midway through the 1st half and 2nd half the team played quite a bit better. Especially in the 2nd half. They actually rebounded the ball well but really struggled hitting from deep where they had a ton and I mean ton of good looks beyond the arc. ISU shot dreadful from the FT line, too. But they played hard and actually seemed like they got a step quicker offensively as they game wore on.
Ian Fox was launching treys like a madman but I loved the fact that he kept shooting. He can really handle the ball and does some nice things on defense. He played a ton and I always hope to see that when you burn a RS year on a kid. I think he is pretty darn good--still wish he did not have to play along with Geno.
Hansen pushed the issue too much last night and looked out of control but very aggressive. Solarin looked smooth as silk the whole game. They get nothing and I mean nothing out of Magot. Slavik has a nice tough inside for a big fella. I would expect him to start playing more. He just looks like a much better offensive player. Wilson did not play bad and as long as he drives to the basket he has a chance to produce a few baskets. I don't see him scoring much more than 6-8 points per game.
It looks like this team is going to struggle a ton to score this year. But they looked quite a bit better than they must have looked in the exhibitions. I didn't see either of the games, I only listened to them. But I will say they looked like they improved as the game went along.
Regretfully I don't see this team winning more than five games this year. If you cannot hit the three or defend the three it will be a long year. Hope I am proved way wrong.

I was there. Great analysis Bengalcub.
Justin Smith was not there. Like cub said they prob got him mixed up with Marcus who played about 10 min.
I agree.... Offense sputtered but they did have a lot of really good looks. Shots just weren't falling.
Solarin is a beast and was the only real bright spot I saw.
Ian handled the ball well and had some nice assists but went (0-10) shooting and like 0-8 from 3. That won't happen too often.
New Mex definitely made things tough for Hansen! ISU better find another scoring punch from the outside!
