*** Official IOWA STATE Vs #2 Baylor Game(Day) Thread ***

[awd4cy]

Sure. They just need to be at like, Duke, or something.

Or gasp, maybe a Baylor or Texas Tech.

 

[exCYtable]

Not a single guy in double figures. I don't know if I have ever seen that out of an ISU team in my lifetime.

 

[jcisuclones]

We took a grad transfer this season. And a young transfer.

We did not bring in a grad transfer. You're thinking of the normal transfer who won a coin flip against the NCAA and got awarded a waiver.

Baylor looked outstanding on D tonight.
The thing with their rebounding is, they always have length and it seems like that lenght can tip a lot of balls out to the arc where one of their guys is waiting. Been doing it that way for a long time.

I think Motley just grabbed another offensive rebound over me.

 

[awd4cy]

This game against a top team in the country tells us nothing useful about our future place in conference.

I highly doubt we finish last. Probably won't be top half, but not last.

Oklahoma State will for sure lock down last place for us. Kansas State is also worse than us.

 

[MeowingCows]

Fred could

He could reload one transfer a year, as that was pretty much all that was asked of him. The rest of his hero players were 4-year guys.

How many guys did we lose last season, 3?

Welp, I'd suggest you hop on the ol' email and see if Prohm has any openings for someone to recruit for him. Looks like you've got a plan.

 

[Cychl82]

I like Prohm. I think lots of people like Prohm.

Not sure about his basketball program running thing but right now, it is what it is. You're watching a marginally talented team try to run with a team that just rolled KU in the Phog a few days ago.

Having better players has a lot to do with coaching. Baylor has better players. Experienced players too.

Lol?

When I say like Prohm it only refers to being a good coach and winning. Do I like the guy? Absolutely he’s a great dude but you’re defending him and digging your heels in now to a guy that loses in Hilton to Florida A and M who has better players I guess. Just stop it

Woof.
I haven't looked at the stat sheet yet - that hurts.

I'm happy to see you're alright. You kind of disappeared there when Iowa State won Saturday.

 

[jcisuclones]

Did ISU go after a solid grad transfer?

Sometimes, schools recruit players, but those players decide to go elsewhere.

Nope, landed two transfers bound to redshirt this year. One got lucky and got a waiver from the ever-so-consistent NCAA to play immediately.

Ah that's right, Nixon was a sit-out. I get that confused 'cuz he's a senior now.

I was at the game, then spent time with friends I haven't seen in a few years. Thanks for worrying about me though.

 

[madguy30]

But did ISU reach out to other grad transfers? And just not get them?

Like, 'Hey, really good grad transfer, do you want to play at ISU?'.

Grad transfer: 'Nope'.

 

[Cardinal2001]

Lost to #2 on the road, oh horror.

 

[simply1]

so your saying we have NBA talent but are a bottom feeder team in the Big12??

i think you misread that

Yeah, that’s a good point. 3 early, but five guys off that team are sniffing the NBA.

If that was the case, that's flat out embarrassing given our success with transfers in the past. The absolute state of our program right now..

 

[AuH2O]

Its literally all he talked about when he first got here.

Plus fans who like to tear down the Hoiberg era to try to make Prohm look better always like to talk about how Prohm was better on defense.. when he's actually averaged worse.

Dude, every coach at every level since Naismith talks about defense all the time.

 

[EarthIsMan]

Pretty much identical 2 pt and 3 pt shooting % for both teams. Really the difference was ISU's defensive rebounding (i.e. Baylor's offensive rebounding). That's the game.
