*** Official #19 IOWA STATE vs TCU Game(Day) Thread ***

[acgclone]

This team lives and dies with the 3. Especially when we play no D.....because we don't know how.

Small ball teams that don't run and/or shoot the 3 well, usually don't fare well.

 

[FerShizzle]

Prohm is going to take this team from a possible regular season title to a bottom half of the Big 12 finish..... just watch it.

I've never seen such lazy defense on a basketball team in my life, it's just embarrassing.

That can’t be right... I’ve been told repeatedly that he was an upgrade from Hoibergs teams on the defensive ends. You must be mistaken.

 

[moforisu]

We shot bad. Pretty simple.

It's been our trademark!

 

[jctisu]

We've lost four straight to TCU. Let that sink in. And don't give me this, "Oh they are a tournament team blah blah blah." They have been complete garbage the last few weeks aside from the two games against us. Baylor is very similar as they have struggled mightily lately, have no fear, Iowa State can still play worse than you can Bears. WVU is giving Baylor all they can handle in Waco with a minute left. Sorry it's just frustrating, and all we ever get are excuses. Sorry these are teams we should beat. A hiccup against one happens but no way you should get swept by Baylor and TCU this year.

You aren’t going to win many games where you shoot 10% from 3 and your opponent is shooting almost 50% from 3.... at the end of the first half the team just went to sleep.... that didn’t help. Sucks to be swept by three teams. Let’s leave wave it at that!

 

[clonedude]

Plenty to complain about but if you shoot 2-20 on threes you’re going to lose.

2 for 20 is bad? But I thought that's what we do best..... run and gun baby! Guess not. We're not really good at much of anything anymore.

 

[CarterCloneFan]

I was impressed with the resolve of our team to not let TCU bury us early in the second half. Fought hard, just couldn’t get shots to fall. Frustrating week, but still like this team. Everyone needs to relax. This team will be fine. If we win out the rest of the year, will tie our best conference record since Marcus Fiser was in a cyclone uniform.

 

[CySanka3]

Haliburton was a waste of minutes today. Hali/Babb/shayok 5 for 22. Lard/Jacobson 12 for 16 but let’s only keep one on the court at all times always, can’t even try it we might lose, oh wait...

 

[CloneGuy8]

Where’s our karma? Iowa fans have mocked us through every loss this year on their board.

Might not be a bad thing for them to take a couple hours off from making meth in their moms basement to check out our games.

 

[Snyder21]

Really need to decide on Halliburton or Babb, can’t play 4 guards and play defense the way they do as a team and have two guys that aren’t a threat offensively. We really getting beat badly at that point guard position for the last month. Has to be one or the other, just to limiting on both ends playing them both for long stretches together.

Haliburton had 7 assists and he is always moving/swinging the ball. Babb had 6 in 40 mins and he is constantly holding on to the ball, wasting time, and dribbling for long periods of time. I know who I prefer as the full time PG.

 

[CoKane]

Why are we so bad coming out of timeouts? Ball in our hands to make a critical play at the end of the game and we just look lost.

Because the guy coaching doesnt know what he's doing

 

[MLawrence]

I bet if you ask your mom nicely she'll give you a popsickel to help sooth your tantrum.

Is there a mom handing out popsicles? Because I would like one. Any flavor is fine, but grape. **** grape.

 

[SpokaneCY]

I am here for the stupid

Come for the estrogen-fueled meltdowns, stay for the stupid... Win win!

 

[CycloneJoe6]

Think it might be time to start Wigginton over Haliburton. This team needs something to change

Part of the Baylor wvu game is huggy isn't trying to run 4 guards. Funny when you have 2 posts that can rebound vs 1 getting boxed out every shot

 

[tim_redd]

Gotta love how Prohm chooses to play a small lineup all game long.... and then complains after we lose game after game that we're too small and that's why we can't rebound and defend.

It's too bad he left this 6'7" guy on the bench despite grabbing a couple rebounds and scoring a couple buckets in a few minutes of action when the team was struggling early...

 

[NoCreativity]

Prohm is Jamie Dixons litttle *****. Embarrassing to get swept by this team who is getting beat on a regular basis. They've only won 3 out of their last 8, 2 were against us, the other was against a bottom feeder.

 

[isuno1fan]

You read their boards? That speaks volumes about you.

 

[CoKane]

But man he gets his teams to “max out” at the right time..

Excited for next year when we start the season looking like we've never touched a basketball before, just like all of his teams seem to do

 

[madguy30]

So do you want Lard or Jacobsen guarding another team's stretch 4? Because that's the option if Conditt is getting regular time at the 5.
