At least he's not shooting too much. That helps.

Ebi Ere had a slump his senior year that lingered till the dance, if I remember correctly. Isaiah is likely putting pressure on every shot.

Kick him out of the gym for a couple of days.

I feel bad for the guy. Especially knowing he's putting in even EXTRA work now. But honestly he's hurting himself by worrying about it that much. Can cause you to over think what you're doing and tweak things that actually don't need to be tweaked. He's fine his biggest issue right now is him over complicating it. Cousins is at his best when he's not overthinking things. He will be alright. Just give it Time bub!

Can't hate on his work ethic. Love guys like that. It's really only his shooting/shot selection that has been off. I think it can be attributed to some mental things. Just clear your head big fella

They need to get Cousins some layups and dunks, maybe run a back door play or two for him. He will be fine.

It was fun to be able to go to the game and watch. You can tell he is thinking about every shot. He just needs to let it go. It probably doesn't help him that Hield and Woodard are shooting so well.

Upcoming games will see junk defenses and doubling. Spangler and Cousins are going to need to hit shots.

They need Cousins to get a co-ed and a break from after hours basketball...

No doubt!

Agreed. Isaiah needs to relax and let the game come to him. His shots and free throws are even flatter than before. Thus, they're less likely to go in because a flat trajectory shot has to be so precise to the target area.

I feel for the kid. But if he continues to put more pressure on himself, he will only make it worse.

He needs to go home to his bed for the simple fact he will probably sleep better in a bed. More rest and clearing the head could be all he needs.
