For the first time this year I drank Makers 46 during the game, and we won. I'll make the sacrifice of continuing to drink Makers 46 until we lose

Gritty win, Cyclones showed toughness and concentration at the end to close the game.
And not to take anything away from the Clones, but I was surprised how "meh" Tech was offensively for most of the game. I know their calling card is defense, but I expect better than 41% FG shooting, 40% FT shooting and only 6 assists from the 8th ranked team in the nation.

You should have had more faith in the process and given ISU 68.
Two were ugly for sure. The one late after the TTU bucket to get Shayok the ball in the middle of the floor was a thing of beauty.
I don’t think enough people understand how damned tough this conference is going to be top to bottom this year. There aren’t all too many games that I think you could consider a bad loss.
Should be 5-0. Maybe this time the team won't think it has arrived and lose at home next game.
I’m just here to collect my accolades
In conference they average only 64 points, they are not a good offensive team, they hold their opponents under 60 that is how they win.
I refrained from posting simply because I'm tired of the way people overreact to every single thing on this site. No, the losses weren't fun. But FFS the season wasn't over.
Don't disagree at all. But I'd rather have a coach bring in this roster and struggle with that than someone like Greg McD who had a novel of offensive sets but couldn't.
Only so many practices in the season for a young team. You have to prioritize with a young roster what you work on. Spacing and defense this year has been outstanding. Press break, late game, and in bound plays haven't. I'd speculate if we could see where time has been in practice it's the former.
Now...drawing one up during a timeout is a weakness for Prohm. But I'm not going to let my frustration with that have me calling for his job because we drop a close game now and then.
I would however love to see him hire an assistant that excels at what Fenelly calls 'special teams'.
Solid effort by the Cyclones! Beating #8 on the road is a statement.
WV and Okie St. would be in the bad loss category in Ames.
That might've been the last top 25 road win, but initial Q was vs. top 10 ... I'm not sure I remember any non-Kansas examples .... '05 at Texas was maybe #20 (?). (also won at #2 KU that season).
I only saw "ranked" in the post. But (excluding KU) the last time we beat a ranked team on the road was 5 years ago in itself is telling.
