I watched him and I partied with him! One of a kind.
True statement.
At least then you know how he played. Effort and toughness and reckless. But not exceptionally skilled. He’d be great on this team because he’d knock people around.
now, Jared Homan had post moves, but he may still have arrest warrants in Ames for some of his college escapades.
I AGREE and you are talking about Larry Eustacy...Larry's teams could Rebound & Play Defense with the best in the League er Big XII
Floyd’s goal each game was to make more free throws than the other team attempted. Can’t recall the last time that happene.
A glaring weakness of this team is its poor passing. Their passes this entire season have consistently been soft, lazy, high, low, to the side, etc. There is no ability to recognize opportunities for interior bounce passes, and the result is an ineffective pick and roll offense. The lack of passing skills results in poor shooting percentages and turnovers. Robbie Hummel commented on this issue a couple of times during today's game.
Solo played 33 min today without grabbing a single defensive rebound. Steve’s rebounding philosophy in action.
The 2 focal points of the offense, Rasir and Solo, are both pretty unemotional. Not every good player is fiery. I was a little disappointed in Rasir after he fouled out, but I don't know what was going on.
JCL, Johnson, and Harris seem more emotional. GC too.
I remember when Orr took his teams down to Oklahoma and got drilled by 30 regularly.
Just like in football, good teams get the calls.
Solomon isn't going to make any All-Defense team. But Prohm puts our post guys in terrible situations in 2 ways:
- Our guards cannot guard on-ball. Creates a lot of situations where Solo and Conditt end up fouling because they have to stop a driving perimeter player. They end up guarding 2 players in many situations.
- WE SWITCH EVERYTHING AND OPPOSING COACHES ARE NOT STUPID!!!! Not sure why CSP feels that switching every screen is a good idea. We switch even when the opponent screen sucks and guys could easily stay with their guy. To automatically switch our post guys on the pick-n-roll or high ball screen is lunacy!!! Big 12 coaches know we automatically switch, so they run a half court set to get their post guarded by an ISU guard or their perimeter players guarded by Solo or Conditt. Then its just a matter of another pass to take advantage of the mismatch. KRUGER SCHOOLED PROHM TODAY.
IMO our players have enough talent in a normal year to go 7-11 or 8-10, but it is tough to overcome coaching that only knows ONE WAY to win.
Tough being a Cyclone Basketball Fan.

Walker struggled on defense in the early part of the game. Kruger is a good enough coach to watch tape and create mismatches.
The Victor/Mack/Baugh team.
that was the group responsible for Ron Maly coining the phrase Hilton Magic.
Same year in Lawrence.....
KU.......127
ISU........82
In Ames.............
ISU......97
KU.......89
That game in Ames was epic. mike born had a career that night. He was literally the best player on the floor for the second straight game.
Most years Johnny couldn't beat a high school team on the road. But then come home with the same team and beat the Lakers.
