Prohm is 34-33 in Big 12 games. This is just who he is as a coach, mediocre.

The I thought about playing Conditt **** is getting really ******* old.
I'm also tired of the sorry ass "baylor zone" excuse. There are no taurean princes, or Isaiah austins or motleys out there. F'n figure it out.
THIS is why we are so frustrated. This season is obviously much better than last year and CSP has proven he can recruit well. But this is the best chance we've had to win the B12 that I can remember. The talent level at the top of the league is way down and I do think our ceiling is higher than anyone else's. Even with the best Hoiball team (Ejim + Niang + Morris, etc.) our talent wasn't the best in the league. Unless we somehow win out (possible but highly unlikely - I will eat my words gladly if we do), we have thrown away an incredible opportunity for the growth of our program and we may not get another one quite like this for years. You never know what will come in the future and by not taking advantage of this season, who knows how long until a similar situation presents itself?
with 4 guys getting some time in the NBA and two potential 1st round draft picks.
So tired of this Jekyll and Hyde BS. Title chances gone because we can't protect our home floor. It's embarrassing.
Or easily win out. But jump off that cliff if you feel the need.
I have never been as frustrated by an objectively good Iowa State basketball team as much as I have this one.
It really is beyond puzzling to the point of inexplicable. How can this team go out on the road and play as well as we did at Kansas State last weekend and then come home and put up this crap sandwich at Hilton, no less with the Mayor and Monte in attendance?
Anybody who ever reads my posts on here knows that I am a fan and ardent defender of Prohm, and despite tonight and the other home losses I still feel he is a good coach, but something just isn't right about the team at Hilton this Big 12 season, and I'll be damned if I know what it is. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we go down and beat TCU this weekend as badly as they beat us, but these home losses...
On a related note, does anyone else feel like we really missed Solomon Young tonight? I would have loved to have had him in as an extra big body pulling in a few rebounds tonight.

I think he needs some of the players to step up to the plate and lead in practice. I think there may be a reason Prohm had Campbell and Fred talk to the team about having to earn success. Seems indicative of some of the inconsistency we're seeing. Seems our common denominator for the last few really successful teams has been player leadership.
Kane/Ejim/Naz/Georges seemed like the kind of guys who would hound people in practice to the point others were forced to match it.
Is Shayok that kind of guy for this team? Babb? I don't know. I think Solomon could be that guy, but it's hard to do that when you aren't on the floor.
You can take a bunch of 8th graders and prepare them all you want but if they're competing against me I'm going to out muscle them with relative ease. Baylor isn't ever going to be a good matchup for us the way they build their roster now. Raw, raw basketball players inside but all they have to do is layups.
Right now to me at least, we're a Stinson away. Take your offensive board and putback. At worst we'll bring it back at you and Curtis is at the line for a pair.
I honestly think the big 12 as a whole is not good. I’ll be surprised if we get more than 2 teams past sweet 16
throw out the rebuild year what is his record? Like 30-19, not too bad
Clearly guy can get talent, will agree sometimes there appears to be lack of adjustments
We do have a guy we can go to one the block, Lard. Went to him 4 straight possessions in the first half and got points each time. He got 1 post feed the entire second half. Baylor had no one that could guard him. That's a horrible coaching mistake.
Talked about this earlier...usually I have CSP's back but his hindsight bothers me when it was clear something else needed to happen.
if only those 8th graders had a 6'10" power forward sitting on the bench
