*** Official #25 IOWA STATE VS Iowa Game(Day) Thread ***

[ArgentCy]

6-7 seniors and no floor leadership. What is Monte doing? Thomas played hard but just doesn't have the physical tools to dominate. Babb off the bench gave a hoot but the rest were out to lunch. Need our Ejim or Niang

 

[Cycsk]

Wigginton would probably be our best offensive player THIS year.

Wigginton is the answer to the previous question about how Prohm got the job.

 

[CyBobby]

The Clyburn year we were a 10 seed in the NCAA tournament. I would gladly take that at this point. We are an NIT team this year, no good non-conference wins, probably go 9-9 or 8-10 in the Big 12.

You actually believe this team can win 8 conference games.....

 

[bosco]

Let Iowa have their little party tonight. Good for them. We'll still have a much better season, as usual. Prohm better install the offense SOON.

Iowa will go back to sucking again tomorrow. Count on it.

hate to break it to you but that is the offense.

 

[mjhavlo76]

Wow!! Ugly performance Coach Prohm... No time-outs with the run by Iowa in the first half to stop the bleeding?! Unbelievable! Inexcusable!

 

[State43]

SuPERBOWL!
And no way we are a top 25 team. Bubble at best. Our inability to run an offense that makes sense blows my mind.

 

[SC Cy]

Man, I just hate that this Senior laden team was out-hustled, out-worked, and out-coached. I don't mind losing but this was lack of leadership. Woof.

 

[ILikeCy]

I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I don't blame Prohm for this disaster. I think he had a good strategy to focus almost entirely on teaching defense to start the season. It was reasonable to expect the offense would come naturally to this team... unfortunately the seniors on the team somehow completely forgot how to run an offense. Hopefully they'll focus completely on offense in their practices for the next month, and they'll be back on track before it's too late to recover this season.

Monte is trying to be something he isn't, a scorer. He's a distributor, Coach needs to stop forcing things. Until this battle is figured out, this team will struggle to find it's identity.

Prohm is trying to make Monte something that he isn't. Hopefully next year Wigginton will be the scoring pg prohm desperately needs.

 

[cyatheart]

he was at a mid major power that was good before him. There are examples of guys that succeed in that role (Kennedy who is A&M) but others who you could argue benefitted from having a foundation in place before they got there vs. a guy who led a program in disarray to greater heights.

I was skeptical of the hire and even got blasted last year here for being cautious of Prohm (not saying he was a great coach, etc.). Time will tell but this loss won't help his supporters case.[/QUOT

Something happened there thought....I just can't believe he same guy, Pollard, that put his job on the line to hire Hoiberg, turned it over to this guy intentionally....no way. He just doesn't fit in any way here,

 

[MilehighClone]

Hopefully coach realizes that Naz and Burton are 15-20 minute players coming off the bench.

Babb and Jackson deserve more minutes and should be starting.

Naz is mediocre and Burton is Elmer Robinson.

I was a supporter but no more. It hasn't been just tonight, but tonight was the final straw. Last year all Niang.

 

[dirtyninety]

Thomas has so much energy calling that huddle.....would like to see more anger than eagerness to call the post-suck play huddle.

Monte's body language is like: am I the only guy who can dribble twice and get to within 6 feet of the basket?????? If he has to do that 30 times a game he is going to get hurt.....especially in big boy basketball. Nobody can-or in burton's case willing(?)-- to help him create shots. SHOTS close to rim with foul potential, not hero chunk ups.

 

[cyatheart]

Odd that Monte was one of the premier point guards in the country when Prohm came, now.....maybe average Big 12 point guard. He has done nothing but get worse since Prohm got here.

 

[bosco]

hawk fans should chant overrated because in this case it would be correct.

 

[DSM4Cy]

This team is embarrassing. Way too much talent for such terrible showings. First half of Gonzaga, Cincy, and tonight...none of those were because they just played better. Inconsistency from every player - guys trying too hard (Naz) or not hard enough (Deonte).

 

[Cyclonepride]

Well, that'll knock the cocky right out of you.

 

[dmdom]

Chiefs up 21- 10. 17secs left in 2nd qtr

 

[cstrunk]

God ******* awful. We are now reaping the rewards of Hoiberg leaving early. Back to the cellar we go.

 

[CloneLawman]

Just goes to show you. If you don't show up ready to play you can lose to any team- even the worthless Iowa Hawkeyes.
