Said it in another post....if Babb has even a decent game tonight we win. No question. He's capable, but he defers so much that it looks like he doesn't have confidence in his shot right now, which is troubling.
Exactly. Our fans are so clueless and stupid.
I don't think you want to compare what Prohm started with to what Fred started with, that's not a real fair comparison.
Our play goes as our mood goes. When our shots are falling we tend to back that up with solid defense (Kstate). When our shots aren’t falling, we tend to get lax on defense ( Baylor / TCU). That’s mental toughness in my book. We seem to lack it more often than not. The ability to lock in defensively even when the offense is struggling. There’s enough blame to go around for why it is present; the real question is can Prohm fix it? 
In some ways, yes. His end of half and late-game clock management is awful. But often, he's the only guy who will take it to the rack through contact and he comes away with key layups in crunch time. He also plays MUCH better defense than Wigginton. If you replace him with Lindell, we now have 3 legitimate defensive liabilities on the floor in the starting lineup - Wigginton, THT, and Jacobson.
I said the comment about the improvement from last year to this year showing he is a great coach is stupid. It’s a completely different roster and much more talented. I thought you were too busy talking about Fred choking away the Big 12 title with the last loss to Baylor to spend time in here tonight.
Tonight sucks but maybe they will win on Saturday. At this point it’s difficult to trust the staff and players to adjust when a team goes slower tempo and limits our possessions. You aren’t going to force 17 turnovers in the half court every night and that appears to be what we are relying on to kickstart our offense.
No, you’re a stupid **** who is THE most fragile little girl on here.
I will guarantee you that jsb doesn’t get **** on for not knowing anything, and have to call other people to try to verify they were right.
If you are distressed about Steve Prohm, then go watch your other teams, and leave here.
Your knowledge is sub par, to put it nicely. And you rejoice when Iowa State loses. That makes you an ******* for being here

Agreed making the tournament but this team feels like a 5 that'll overlook a 12
Um... What? We've finished in the top 2 of the conference exactly one time in the last decade and even then we shared 2nd that year. Seems like a reasonable hope, but an unreasonable expectation.
I wonder if nicks hurt again? He was so key in the Texas game and a few others. He was an alpha player—taking and making big shots. Getting huge rebounds and always in the floor diving for balls. He hasn’t quite looked the same since Oklahoma.
I thought his hustle was there tonight and his shots didn’t look bad. But it would be great if he got some rebounds.
Johnny Orr was 79-117 in the Big 8 with 2 conference winning years in 14 years. Did he suck?
Yep, this was THE YEAR if we were going to win it. Kansas will be unstoppable next year and we lose an All Big 12 player. I just don't see any hope with this program taking the step up to the next level. The only thing we can do is be happy with our 5 or 6 seeds because that is the ceiling with this coaching staff.
Maybe. Anything is possible in March. I guess something to make you feel good is this team has shown to be pretty good away from home lately, so hopefully that translates to success in the tournament.
