Guys, do we really need to hate on Prohm after every loss? It was bad all around today; coaches were out-coached and players were out-played. Take a macro-look at the year and hating on Prohm is pretty misguided.

He wouldn't see the court for a lot of coaches unless he played D. I'd bet Dixon wouldn't play him.
Cmon Jeremy, just step away from the internet for the evening. It was a bad loss, however not the end of the season.
Yeah, need to give up on the DM dream for ISU. Potentially battling U-M, MSU, Wisconsin, Marquette, Kansas, Kentucky and Louisville for that site. Not happening.
Practice ball screens for two straight hours without a single ******* switch. God ******* damn it do not give your players the opportunity to get lazy. Trap it, hedge it all the way to half court. In the words of the great Dan Sileo, pull a ******* knife and stick em. I don’t care. Anything other than lazy switching followed by an easy straight line drive. I still think this is a very very good team but that defense looked like me playing in rec league.
Frustrating game. Clones did just enough to stay within striking distance for a lot of the 2nd half, but not able to match TCU's effort and hustle.
Jamie Dixon licks his lips at the opportunity to play an undisciplined ISU team. Meanwhile, Prohm squats on the sideline and literally licks his lips and does nothing until the game is out of hand. Take people out of the f***ing game that don’t defend. Play Talley. Run plays for Jacobsen. Reward good play, sit poor play. Stop sitting there and licking your lips FFS
Seems TCU shot really well today. TCU like Texas last week was in desperation mode, sitting as a 9 seed in the tourney.
Bottom line both coaches had a opportunity to improve their chances at a league title with a win at home and did not do it.
There is no difference. They both lost. Exact same scenario and both failed.
We could play the "I first feared we were toast when..." game. Mine was TCU's immediate run after halftime.
I’m a fan of Prohm, but today was not his best performance. No harm in acknowledging it.

I don't solely blame Prohm. Everyone was awful enough to share the blame. This was a titanically bad effort all the way around.
Whatever the plan was coming out of halftime didn't work either. Adjustments?
It's only been 8 weeks since Talley returned from suspension, he's still go a long ways to go to earn minutes.
Agreed, he has really exposed the flaws of his game this year for playing in the NBA. On the positive side, we should get him all 4 years unless for some reason he decides to leave.
So we're going to blame a loss when the visiting team scores over 90 on not playing Talley enough? C'mon dude.
Giving up back to back offensive rebounds that turned into two 3 pointers. Instead of being down 4 points we were down double figures. Brutal.
I think someone who pointed out a couple of Shayok air balls to start the game was on to something. He has rallied from a few bad starts, but eventually it catches up.
He did have a great day at the line, but he cannot do 1-7 from 3 and expect ISU to be on the winning side of the ledger most nights.
Teams that win championships have a different level of toughness and we don't have that.
