Would like to bring my daughter (who is 6) to the women’s game on Monday. Will I be able to walk up and just buy tix from the box office on Monday or would it be best to make arrangements before hand? We will have a two hour drive to Ames and probably won’t head that way until after work at 4:30 or so.

Just didn’t know if ticket situation was very different since it’s ncaa

Doing research on a lot of these and want others opinions. Layla is the one I am leaning towards at the moment. Purple is another, but it is on the more pricey side. Tuft and needle is another one I'm looking at.

Any you like?

It seems from reading the cesspool tht has been posted since the game ends, that there is a vocal group that believes ISU is a top 10-15 program nationally and the results should reflect that.

While I hope that we get to that point, we aren’t there yet. But let’s take a look at the other programs that are in that conversation over the past 5 or so years.

Duke, UNC, Villanova, Gonzaga, Virginia, Kansas, Michigan, Michigan State, Kentucky, Purdue, Syracuse, Wisconsin, Maryland, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Oregon, Louisville, Arizona, etc.

What do these teams have in common? Head coaches that have been there for a significant period of time. Look at the couple that have the most recent coaching changes from that list: Wisconsin and Louisville. Both have struggled to maintain their prior level since the coaching change.

Some of you all need to learn what patience is and most of all, trust and support the team, coaches, and people in charge to do what is best for the program. If we want to be a top 10-15 program, we need to act like one. And right now, that means giving Prohm time to continue building on the great foundation he has. The grass is greenest where you water it.

**knocking on wood** I'm more interested in scouting the Cancun Tech matchup because, frankly, I don't think North South East West Central State stands much of a chance outside of a pineapples shooting day in this preseason tournament.

I wanted to be convinced that Cancun Tech was overrated. The stats do not support that notion, mostly.

Cancun Tech's strength of schedule according to TeamRankings is 69th; Iowa State's is 22nd.

Cancun Tech has defeated 7 DIII teams in program history.

They have lost to every other team.

Final regular season record of 3-31.

Good news is we have seven months to prepare to prevent this jinx from ruining the first game of the season.

What does everyone think about next season and how this squad will look? I think Nixon is the real deal, and I think THT and Wigginton are back. That, combined with a healthy Solomon Young (it was clear that not having him on defense was rough and hurt). I think we have a starting lineup of Nixon, Wigginton, THT, Jacobson, Young with Halliburton and Lard being the first guys off the bench. Lard was all over the place, but if last night was an indicator of how he’s going to play, he will be a starter for us before the end of the year. I think we are looking at a team that’s a little better than this year and it could be a fun ride for us fans starting in November. I’m intrigued with Anderson, as I think he’s got a high basketball IQ, and hopefully guys like Conditt and Griffin make strides and see more minutes. I think Lewis transfers out as well.

One could argue that should have been a Flagrant Foul for a hold on Shayok, then the refs sent Lard to to line but it took a long review to figure it out that Shayok got fouled as he was held but that should have been upgraded to a F1 like it has all year?

My recovery day starts with a Bloody Mary, and then I’m out of ideas...HELP!!!

Message boards are a cess pool and being a fan was much more fun when they weren't around. But it's not like I can blame anyone for being on them since I think they are awful and here I am.

But my main question is why is there so much anger this year? The absolute hatred towards the team and the coaches is sickening. We were picked to finish 6th. We finished 5th. Like plenty of good teams we lost in the first round of the tournament. It happens.

The argument that a lot will make is that this team is a lot more talented than the season indicated. That could be true. But I tend to think that was very talented but also had limitations. And when you have specific limitations, you lose games.

It will be a cold day in hell when I will be disappointing in a 23 win season, with a Big 12 tourney championship, and an NCAA bid. Was it the best thing ever? Of course not. But was it a good season? Yes. And, as a fan, I am allowed to think that. I expect the coaches and players are disappointed and will work to fix what happened. I think a lot of you seem to think that success is measured only as "the greatest season that ever was" or "the worst of the worst, they did nothing right". It's not a binary thing. It's a good season with plenty of great things that happened and plenty of bad things that happened (and two really ******* awful things!).

I hope that Prohm is our coach next year. But one could hardly blame him for leaving because I bet a large portion of you idiots are tweeting and emailing him that same ******** that you are spewing on here and the Iowa State basketball facebook page.

If you are one of the fans that is so ******* angry that they think we should change coaches, then I invite you to go be a Nebraska fan or a SDSU fan or an Iowa fan. Why subject yourself to be as miserable as you apparently are?

So many times last night and this season, Wigginton would gut out a tough drive to the basket. I'm not talking about the drives where he would bounce the ball off his foot, or lose control of the ball before getting to the hoop. I'm talking about the drives where he would literally beat his primary defender, cut through 1-2 more, and get right to the rim for a tough contested layup/dunk. There would always seem to be a lot of contact. Bodies (always Lindell's, sometimes others) would end up on the floor. I have no stat to back this up, but I feel as though a foul was called <25% of the time. What was this all about? Wigginton try to sell something that wasn't there, and just being a wild, high-flying athlete flopping, hoping to get a whistle? He would normally cry out, fall to the ground etc. Normally they wouldn't show a replay, so I never went back to see how many times he was actually fouled. I feel as though he got more calls on 3's than he did on 2's.

This happened a lot to NWB too

After seeing a replay of the out of bounds timeout call, I’m beyond frustrated. The ref clearly counts out 5 before the timeout. That’s not just a usual college ref mistake. That’s intentional. That is a ref deciding on his own he is not letting ISU have a reasonable shot at the winning bucket. I realize mistakes get made and that they are human, but this was no mistake.

When you need a beast to body up and not take any **** down in the post make sure you bring your own junkyard dog. We got ours.

I loved watching him not take anything from the crap Ohio State gave him. Twice, at minimum, he was hit with an elbow to the face and he still battled like a spartan in 300 taking names and kicking ass. I'm so glad for Cam to come full circle this season. For all the haters and doubters, Cam is a beast and can't wait to see more of him in the Cardinal and yellow.

That is all.

P.S. **** Ohio State

Is he a fighter?
Is he a lover?
Is he a middle aged dude?

Respect my opinion, no interview requests

I am no basketball expert, but when the cyclone play a good defense we can't get to the rim. It seem like it take a spectacular effort to score inside off the dribble.

First of all, Prohm coached this team terribly all year long.

People got all excited because we won the Big 12 Tourney but we should have won the Big 12 Tourney. (We had the best roster in the Big 12)

Finishing 9-9 in conference play was really embarrassing as the Clones clearly should have won the league.

Elite teams play two big men....it's just the way it is.....look at KU, UK, UNC, Duke, etc.......

Why he didn't start a line-up of Wigginton, Shayok, Horton-Tucker, Lard, and Jacobsen is ridiculous.....people wondering why we kept getting out-rebounded and then you see four guards out there and it's not real tough.....rotating Weiler-Babb and Haliburton with the three other guards would have worked fine but instead he put the team in a bad situation at all times with NEVER having a second big on the floor.....that is a joke.

Sure, you can go to four guards at times but when you're in a big boys league you have to compete at a big boy level.....Prohm doesn't do that.

Then we once again we got to watch "stand and watch basketball" tonight as he allowed them to spend much of the first half (and many games during the regular season) with four guys on the perimeter just standing and then shooting a three-pointer with only ONE guy underneath to rebound.....we were extremely easy to to guard because our coaching was terrible....we have GREAT players that can drive to the basket in Shayok, Horton-Tucker, and Wigginton who could have been drawing fouls all first half, drawing defense for a miss and easy offensive rebound, or creating wide-open three's but no.....Steve allowed them to stand on the perimeter and shoot NBA three's......live by it and die by it.........

Then let's talk about our defense........Ohio State has a completely mediocre team without Wesson (they lost by 19 without him against Northwestern).....he's clearly their only big-time player......a good coach would double team him every time he touched it and would have forced the rest of the OSU team to beat us......not Steve.....that was just too logical of a thing to do......so he just let Wesson toy with our bigs for most of the game.......it's easy stuff that he just decided not to do.......

If people think this is just reactionary to a tough tourney loss, you don't understand the game......he's the head coach who allowed his team to have problems that led to a 9-9 Big 12 record which is downright embarrassing and now he just led us to a horrific loss to a terrible Ohio State team......if you think he's the guy to lead this program to big-time tourney runs you are wrong.......in fact he took over a program that was loaded with talent and he went to the Sweet 16 with Fred's team......then went to the round of 32, then no tourney, then now we are out in the round of 64.........it's been downhill and in four years he has a 35-37 record in Big 12 league play......that's brutal......ISU has been to the tourney 7 of 8 years but if they want to become an elite program which I believe they can become, they need a new leader.....it's real simple.

T.J Otz. He wanted the job when it became available. He is hands down a great recruiter and he wants to be in Ames. His wife played for the cyclones.

Feed everyone’s curiousity.

Just want to thank you guys for the great season. I'm sure that that the grind of being a student-athlete in a pressure filled spotlight isn't easy, but a lot of us fanatics really appreciate it. Countless hours in the gym and on the road can't be easy.

This season was filled with highs and lows, but so is life. If your career is over at Iowa State, good luck in whatever you do. Nothing you have shown us this year would make us assume that you will have nothing but success in whatever you do. If you are coming back, we will be right back here bleeding cardinal and gold for you next year.

Loyal Sons, Forever True.

Season was not all terrible looking back at the early injuries and new players on the team. Made it to the NCAA tournament again. Won the conference title.

Frustrated with coaching and effort tonight. Still believe Prohm will improve the results for next season.

1) Prohm could have done more. I like Prohm as our HC and support him, but c'mon man. Show us some emotion, some urgency. How do we expect the players to act poised when our HC is lost? He's a great recruiter and I think he can still be a great HC here, but overall was disappointed with his demeanor tonight.

2) Why not give Talley a chance? Babb played 40mins and did he really earn all of those minutes? Did he play bad? No. But neither has Talley in the mins he has played this year.

3) I do respect Prohm sitting THT for most of the second half/ Just wasn't his night.

4) Gonna miss Shayock. Dude played a great game and wouldn't have had a chance if he wasn't on the floor.

5) Impressed with how Lard and Wigginton played. Gave us energy and made some big plays down the stretch.

6) The future is still bright. I like our recruits coming in next year. Obviously gonna have to wait and see what kind of attrition we experience but Prohm can recruit and we are going to have some big time B12 players return next year

.

Funny that his wikipedia shows him as the head bball coach of Iowa State as of 2019. Someone have a time machine?

sure probably doesn’t need its own thread but what a awful choke job by this team. Stupid turnovers, lack of effort on the boards, Babb non existent, Prohm unable to dial up offense. Kinda sums up the worst parts of this year. And you are lying to yourself if you don’t question Prohms coaching ability

Any Cloner’s on the strip? Lookin to watch the game with my brethren!

Go Clones!

I recently acquired a 4-wheeler. Last weekend, after riding it a little, I put it back on a trickle charger like its always on since it doesn't get used much. But, I left the switch and key on. Now it does nothing when I turn the key. Sometimes the speedo will come on but doesn't turn over or even click. Volt meter says battery has 7 volts. What else could it be?
