you forgot about the advantage of playing an undefeated, second ranked team at their home.
Northern Illinois and Fordham are both looking for a new head coach.
Just got done watching. Having King McClure picking apart our coaching down the stretch is just brutal. The dude is two years removed from playing college ball, yet he knows more than Prohm that has been coaching for 23 years. You can blame the players for execution every now and then in these situations, but this is a trend. That’s coaching.
For all who were expecting to beat 17-0, #2 ranked BU, sorry for your disappointment. Up by 17, posters here promising a15 point loss. Sorry for your betting loss.
Play out the string, Prohm get fired, but some of this postgame discussion is pretty ridiculous.

When Baylor pulled to within 5 at half, I thought they’d probably be leading by about 10 by 5 minutes into the half. Our guys really kept up the toughness and answered a lot of Baylor runs. The loss isn’t on the refs but it got really old watching Baylor extended their arms into the defenders chest with no call every time down the court for about 5 minutes there.
It’s not something that was expected but the opportunity to win presented itself the entire game. Baylor didn’t do anything different in the final minutes to seal it, ISU blew it because they didn’t know how to close it out.
And you seem to be ignoring the point that Baylor had more rust than a 1976 Vega that had been through 10 Iowa winters.
You could see it in their play, that was the #2 team in the country in name only. They looked like they did not have their legs for a portion of the game, they looked like had not had any meaningful practices in days. Butler looked like he had not touched a basketball in days.
And why I pointed out it was a huge advantage to play them when ISU did.
I'm willing.
Has no affect on whether I think CSP will be/should be fired. Just willing to say the team played hard and wish they had pulled it out.
He needs some polish, but I actually really enjoy listening to him call a game, even if it's in a bit of a grimly entertaining way.
Bolton is a nice player but Prohm just asks way too much of him. The entire time Prohm has been here it takes him till March to figure out who he wants to play and some years he never figures it out. He constantly has guys playing out of position, and Bolton is one more victim of that.
thought the kids showed a lot of guts tonight. Hell of an effort.
but if I see one more god damn top of the key, ball screen out of a timeout I’m going to lose my mind.

He stumbles a lot and needs some polish for sure. He does have the advantage of calling B12 games with people he actually played with or against. He has done both Baylor games but hasn’t been a homer in either one which is probably hard to do.
I just miss the days of having Fran on a regular basis when we were good.
Losses to ranked teams:
BU 76-65 (down 5 with 2 minutes left)
BU 77-72 (led entire game until 4:11 left)
WVU 70-65
WVU 76-72
UT 78-72
OU 79-72
Not good enough, obviously, but playing that many close games against good teams leads me to believe there's something there to build upon.

Along this same line, does Tyler Harris not have the ball skills and vision to play point? I think Bolton would benefit by playing off the ball with certain lineups in the game.
Tonight was also a shining example of how we have zero set offense outside of the pick and roll.
I’m not ignoring anything. That is why I simply pointed out the things you forgot to mention.
Does he want what I assume would be a pay bump? He is young he should relate to his recruits. It would be a true flyer of a hiring . LOL.
Any player with talent is a victim of Prohm. He’s clueless.
