This team never learns

I don't think necessarily - skill wise it's there. The thing is that they seem to be too cocky. Look at the Buffalo (as well as first half of the Iowa game) game for example. They kept trying no look passes and alley oops that Buffalo (and Iowa) defended really well and stole and yet they continued to try it as if it was working the other times before that when they were disasters. Then the other team takes advantage of it.
This type of stuff doesn't need to be done. It can be easily corrected. Now they're missing Naz so it hurts.
Trust me, I am beginning to believe that by watching the last 3 games we have played. The only person on the team that has been consistent on a nightly basis is McKay. Monte is there most nights, but was completely out-played and out-hustled tonight.

Why don't we recruit clairvoyant players that know when their shots are going to go in? I blame Prohm.
I would take that. That probably means lose to Cincinnati and go 12-6 in conference.
Most likely - but maybe it'll teach the team a little humility. A little - I hope. I think UNC dropped by #9 after being #1, so i'm guessing about #15-20 for ISU. At least the next game is against another top 25 team where a loss wouldn't hurt as bad as this one.
Lots of season left. UNI is a good team.
I'd love to see ISU just not have to play comeback all the time.
Not sure what it will take to change that as it has been the norm for a few years now.

Everybody needs to relax. Everyone that plays us brings their "A" game. We simply cannot expect to win every game when other teams are that hot from the three. I still don't believe we won the Iowa game. This is a wake up call for the team. I saw this loss coming since the end of the Iowa game.
Just need to stop playing comeback. Need more than Georges playing a good game.
Is Prohm creating mismatches? Is he spacing the floor? Is he having good perimeter defense? This is what I think he/this team isn't doing well. Hopefully we can get it corrected. Even though we are 9-1, many of those wins have been ugly.

Tonight seems like most, if not all of us were right. McKay and Niang down low were unstoppable. Did not use them enough.
I think the biggest thing that needs to be done is coming out of the locker room with the desire to defend. Letting guys get good looks from 3 at the beginning of the game really gets them comfortable with taking them. Once someone gets in a rhythm it is hard to stop them.
Everyone bringing their A game is a good point. When you're top 10, especially top 5, you're going to get everyone's best shot every single night. When you're something like #18, you'll get someone's awesome shot too but maybe not as good.
He's been fairly consistent too minus a game here or game there.
Let's not forget that UNI was ridiculous from 3 point range. Something like 60% - which is just insane. Some of that was our crappy defending, but some of that we defended OK or well and they still made it. There's not a lot of teams we'll play this year who shoot close to 60% from 3 point. I'd be surprised if we play more than 1 or 2 more games the entire season where the other team shoots over 55% from 3.
