***Official Baylor postgame thread***

[HoustonClone]

He said every team is going to come in here and try to walk the ball up the floor--ie: play slow. OK Steve--what are you going to do about that? Crickets.

So you are taking that as his admission he doesn't know how to coach that? Just asking.

 

[ClonesFTW]

I'll accept a round of 32 bounce this year to get an elite 8 run next year from THT/Wigginton/Haliburton/Lard

 

[Jayshellberg]

This team really misses Young. Jacobson and Lard are both getting abused in the paint and the guards do not crash the boards enough to overcome that weakness.

 

[CTTB78]

We missed 9 straight shots from 6:27 to 0:27 and went from up 1 to down 6

Yup, Prohm must have missed everyone of them.

 

[NoCreativity]

Who's sick of small ball? We obviously suck at it against teams who are going to slow the game down, and its not like we have great shooters who can light it up from 3.

This season is a complete wash, next year I wanna Jacobson/Lard and Young/Conditt on the floor in some combination at the 4 and 5. Sick and tired of watching us continually get abused by more phyiscal teams while we run guard oriented teams out of the gym. Get some grown ass men out there next year who arent going to let other teams come into Hilton and push them around.

 

[67CY]

How many more wins will it take to get a 6 seed and who will they be? I’m really concerned that they could get swept by TCU based on tonight’s performance

 

[Fishhead]

fans should come to home games dressed in the other schools colors and cheer for them instead. Maybe then they can win the home games.

 

[jsb]

Man, when does football season start?

Grow up. We are likely going to the tournament. We have 3 road wins against ranked teams.

We are a good team.

Be pissed about tonight. I sure as hell am, but don’t act like we are West Virginia.

 

[CySmurf]

Member people saying theyd rather have Shayok than Niang, I member.

Glad I wasn't one of them. A 4 year star deserves more respect than to even ask that comparison.

 

[cyfan92]

What? We have significant holes.

The freshmen disappear a lot. That's to be expected.

NWB is a game manager. He's not going to lose you games but he isn't going to win then either.

Shayok is a jump shooter. He gets in trouble putting the ball on the floor.

Lard is still raw and poor fundamentally. Ridiculous athleticism but plays like he's still the best player on the floor like in HS where you can get away with being completely undisciplined.

Jacobson is a role player but the best option we have. He plays hard but he doesn't have any skills that stand out.

Wigginton is the only combo threat we have. He can take over a game but when he tries and doesn't make shots we're toast.

Calling NWB a game manager is wildly complementary. He's a nice role player. I agree that this team goes as Wiggs goes. Why he doesn't start is alarming

Baylor had 18 offensive rebounds on 38 misses tonight. It’s up to the coach to have the team ready to play.

 

[NoCreativity]

You’re a real *******.

I speak the truth, sorry your fragile little soul can't handle the fact that we cant win home games anymore. You are the exact definition of this "participation trophy" mentality thats running rampant.

 

[DSM4Cy]

Yup, Prohm must have missed everyone of them.

Obviously, he did not miss the shots. We had a few good looks (one of the Shayok threes). But many of these shots were low-quality, bad looks and they weren't the only option. There was time on the shot clock, or we didn't move the ball well on the possession. Baylor's D down the stretch wasn't lockdown. There were chances. We played much more selfish down the stretch and paid the price.

 

[Cyclone06]

Man it’d be nice to overachieve. At best we’ve achieved the last few years. Time to take a step up as a program.

 

[fsanford]

We’ve played zone. Not much but we’ve done it.

the problem with zone is that rebound position is compromised, given that we got compromised rather severely on the boards playing man, I don't think playing zone would skew the totals that much.

Give it a shot.

If Babb even has a decent game today we win. He struggled tonight (understatement).

 

[Cat Stevens]

Yes. But, when a team is doing that to you, you need to go big. It's almost as if Iowa State doesn't even understand the concept of "going big"

This is crap.

No, you have turn them over to make up the difference. We were terrible on the defensive end tonight. We were lifeless, a step slow everywhere. Prohm needed to extend the pressure a bit. Pick up the tempo, and get the guys moving their feet. Seemed like we were stuck in clay a lot of the night.

The other factor was the refs let them play tonight. We will always be at a disadvantage against baylor in that type of game.

 

[IcSyU]

Gotta rebound to set tempo. If you don't it's a lot harder to beat Baylor's 3 guys on the boards back down to the other end. Want Baylor to quit killing you on the board? Get them and make them pay in transition. Don't get them? Inbound it after the layup.

 

[Doc]

I think you’re right. Solomon was probably our versatile 4/5 guy and now we don’t seem to have an option to go bigger.

Idiot...it's a joke on how many people always said "can't wait for basketball season" when we had a bad football game. It's obvious we have a good basketball team.
