That terrible Ohio State team is now arguably the best team in the country. They brought back everyone and added a few good players. They were absolutely not terrible last year.
This is why Prohm must go........

- Start date
A big party in the P&L District and a "2019" for Big 12 Tournament Champions in the rafters.
So how has he done with the teams that were comprised of only guys he's recruited?
Oh idk. Won a Big 12 tournament title and got a 6 seed to the NCAA tournament, a tournament that is unpredictable and if you don't play well you'll lose, like Fred's team his last year that lost to a much worse UAB squad?
So your whole defense for Prohm as the solution for the future is that his team got hot and won 3 games in 3 days?
So you're good with one NCAA tournament in 3 years (assuming this year's team doesn't make it), and getting bounced in the first round in that one year?
The NCAA tournament is essentially the same thing.. Mini 4 team tournaments where you play two games in three days and the hottest team usually moves onto the next mini 4 team tournament where you play two games in three days.
I bet the fact that a roster of Prohm guys won the Big 12 tournament just burns you.
In reference to what you said about Shayok, a lot of people, including myself, had actually seen Shayok play before he transferred to ISU. A lot of us, knew what he was capable of and a lot of us even said before last season that Shayok would be our top scorer or second scorer behind Wigginton. Virginia runs a defensive scheme and their offense revolves around running the shot clock down before shooting which is why he only averaged 8 points per game. Bennett is a great coach, but his teams are atrocious to watch most of the time because of his low scoring/defensive schemes. It wins games, but is not fun to watch and his players don’t fill the stat sheet because of this. Shayok was clearly the best offensive player they had his junior year, especially if you watched them in the NCAA tournament that year. People who watch teams other than ISU knew Shayok was, and quite frankly, expected him to score like he did. His clutch factor however was a huge surprise and without Shayok last season, that team doesn’t play in the NCAA and for sure doesn’t win the Big 12 tournament. He, on my opinion, is 1a or 1b as far as transfers go that have come to ISU along with DeAndre Kane.
No, it really doesn't. What makes you optimistic for the future under Prohm?
I'd be concerned if it extended into next year but I missed when they had the selection show for this year? There are still plenty of games to right the ship. We haven't lost to a bad team yet, and sure we definitely need to play better than we have but to say that this season is over would be disrespectful.
So only wins are fluky if that fits your subjective narrative? OK
Three wins (against familiar opponents in a familiar venue with familiar refs) are somehow more of a fluke than one loss (against a random opponent from a different conference, in a weird venue, with weird refs, at a weird time of day).
Lol okay.
I see, so the issue is I'm too optimistic to think that ISU basketball is better than 1 NCAA tourney in 3 years.
This season isn't over. And have you ever met this guy?
We were 0/6 when I was on campus in Ames.
Even our current level of prosperity, as mediocre or unsatisfying as you seem to think it is, is far from guaranteed. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
I was wrong on that clearly. I'll be sure to shove this thread in your face when we miss the NCAA tournament for the 3rd year out of 4 after next year.
