*** Official IOWA STATE VS TCU Game(Day) Thread ***

[CoKane]

Never good when you're hitting the "team legend takes to social media to complain about the coaching" phase.

Pollard gonna have to write a letter to the former players now too

 

[ISUChippewa]

Go back and watch the dang game. Camera literally zoomed in on him turning to his staff telling them we need to foul. Execution isn’t on the coach...

Well...it is a lot easier to kick a man when he's already down.

I completely agree with you; George just needs to put his arms up and effect the shot, but unfortunately this is just more ammo for the "Fire Prohm" crowd.

 

[ClonesFTW]

Lol, everyone losing their mind when we weren't supposed to win this game.

Or... They’re losing their minds because we were up 3 with 10 seconds left and lost.

 

[bosco]

You think they were supposed to win with 8 seconds left?

They don't pick the better team wth 8 secs left. They do that before the game.

 

[ISUCY23]

8 seconds is too much time to foul. I'll take my chances on basically a half court shot. TCU got lucky, and we stink. It is what it is.

You are so, so wrong lol

 

[Althetuna]

I'm not sure why Conditt was in at the end of regulation. Five guard line up to foul and keep TCU's shooters from the three point line.

A two point bucket meant nothing.

 

[spitfyr36]

Literally a foul at the end of regulation away from a win. That is why people can lose their minds. There is no valid excuse for them not to foul in that situation. None.

Prohm told them to foul, they didnt...
I agree he is not the best coach, but the players gotta ******* foul the guy. You could see Prohm say it before before the inbounds, and Hali yelled about it after.

 

[herbicide]

They were supposed to foul just past half court, but bolton was screened and George wasn't close enough to the screener. That's not on Prohm, that's on the players not executing what was drawn up.

Problem is, we keep having these same execution issues over and over again.

 

[Darius Bieber]

In the good news, this loss won't actually matter.
In the bad news, this loss won't matter because so many more are on the way.

Yep, we can already pull the plug on Tourney or even NIT hopes.

 

[isufbcurt]

If George fouls him, he has an and one three pointer. George was too far away to foul until it was too late. Still, the dude banked in a half courter. Garbage.

George was supposed to be in the hip pocket of the screener (Samual) and he wasn't so it gave the TCU guy a clear look.

 

[madguy30]

He definitely told them to foul because you could see Halli look at George like WTF....why didn’t you foul.
They set a great screen on Bolton and that screwed it up.

On the other hand if George fouls too late, it's potentially an and 1 after a made 3.

 

[jcisuclones]

Eh you’re still a classless ahole

Explain. The dude can't coach. It literally baffles me that people think he's a good coach.

 

[AgronAlum]

Looked like Conditt was going to but got caught or hesitated.

My take is this team isn't good enough to get upset about these losses. Pick your battles. Fans can lose their minds when it matters.

And the hesitation was legit. You’ll take a three from there over putting dude at the line to shoot three FT. He made the right call in that moment.

 

[ISUCY23]

and can’t hit wide-open three-pointers for the three or so please plays prohm ran for him. At least get him out if you’re going to run those plays

We needed defense more than offense this game. Simple as that.

 

[bluestarcyclone]

Problem is, we keep having these same execution issues over and over again.

Yeah, one way or the other eventually the coach is responsible for getting his players to execute.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

Stepped over the line here.

There is no line on CF................

$%$# this team

Should be up 10 if we didnt have complete idiots out on the floor

Absolutely inexcusable mistake, I would bench NWB for the second half. Only a complete moron

 

[isufbcurt]

Problem is, we keep having these same execution issues over and over again.

Yeah, what's your point? Prohm can't be out there moving the guys around. They just came right out of a timeout at some point the guys have to do what they are told.

 

[SEIOWA CLONE]

You foul, sorry, but up by three, you are guarding the 3 pt, line and when the kid gets to half court you foul him. Its basketball 101, we have saw this story before, same thing happened 5 years at Texas, we let them shoot, and the kid makes it.

We also got screwed on the last free ball, it was off TCU, they replay it, and reward it to TCU. I do not care if we hacked him on the way to the basketball, they did not call it.

Going to be a long year

 

[AttackOfTheClones]

This game had a 98% chance of going to ISU w/ 8 seconds left in regulation

TCU was not in a double bonus. A foul puts them on the line w/ a 1 & 1.
They were down by THREE.

There is no excuse for NOT winning this game in regulation. ZERO

Yes...We lose our minds. This game was in the BAG. This was a ridiculous loss

inexplicable

 

[ISUChippewa]

I think Prohm is a bad coach but I dont really blame him for this loss. At some point your players have to step up and do what the coach tells them. This one is all on the players as far as I'm concerned.

Good post. I'm totally serious.
