What. The. Literal. ****?
Isn’t that how these threads are supposed to go?
What. The. Literal. ****?
Yeah, not the night for a heavy dose of scarasm I guess.
But we didn't foul! that is good, right? not fouling? It looks awesome when referees call touch fouls on other team and we hit the crazy 30 foot jumpers....not so cool when it is a Detroit Pistons game.
...this coach and team seem to struggle adjusting to that.
I wonder if this coach had Kenny Pratt and Shawn Bankhead over there on the bench if he would use them to do their thing.
This is the worst coached team in ISU history given the talent level
Let me tell you a story about a guy named Wayne Morgan...This is the worst coached team in ISU history given the talent level
On the post game interview Prohm just admitted he doesn't know how to control tempo--nice.
To me the offensive rebounding all came from the teams inability to contain dribble penetration. Playing one big hedging out that far on the pick and roll takes what little size is on the court out of the equation. By the time the big gets back into the paint Baylor has inside position and it’s game over.
An adjustment should have been made.
I’m a Prohm fan overall but these games are exactly why he gets so much flak. There were 0 adjustments made the entire game. Sometimes it seems like his coaching strategy is to pray that we shoot 60% from 3.
Yep doesn’t even try for adjustments or try running a play to get a easy bucket when we’re struggling.He would rather run 4 guards and get completely abused in the paint and on the boards than make a change. He did the exact same thing in 2016-17, luckily he had Solomon Young to at least give them some inside presence and they salvaged the season. He doesnt even have that now, Jacobson can't compete with Big 12 bigs and Lard cant stay on the floor long enough to be effective.
He finally realized what everyone else has known for a long timeOn the post game interview Prohm just admitted he doesn't know how to control tempo--nice.
I’m just here to break up the negativity with a little happiness.
I am disappointed that we burned our chance at a conference title but I'm really not that surprised at what happened tonight.
1. Jake Sullivan was correct in his analysis of Lindell. He is hot one game and ice cold the next. He needs another season in Ames before going pro.
2. Baylor hit what seemed like every damned 3 point shot they threw up. At some point it just becomes laughable.
3. Mike Jacobsen's effort on the Baylor in bounds play with 2 seconds on the shot clock was crap. Eric Heft called the play on the radio. Mike stood flat-footed and watched the ball go right over head to Gillespie for the dunk. He didn't even put his hands up. We were on a good run and that just deflated the whole place.
We didn't play physical enough or hustle enough to get any fouls called on us tonight. That's why Baylor wasn't even in the bonus at the end of the game when we were forced to foul. Our guys didn't give even close to enough effort to get called for many fouls.
