I’d recommend watching Beard’s entire press conference. He really throws his players under the bus.

I thought they played hard. He may want to teach them some more basketball skills rather than focusing on finding everyway you can to grab, hold and body block the other team for 40 minutes. I don't recall TTech being as brutal, yea they played tough def but they had the skill players as well.

One thing I have learned about this ISU team is that you will not wear them down. ISU will be the stronger team the last 5 minutes. You will have to out basketball them (a la OU).

I’m so happy ISU has kicked the crap out of the SEC hand me downs. Similar to if I didn’t want to “date” this girl anymore and an sec guy picked up UT
Would like to do the same to Oklahoma.

They are friends........and Prohm knew talent, especially guards. But this year is all TJ. Not just anyone could have mixed the talent here, added some pieces and done what has been done this year.



















For sure. It was a dumb thing to say and frankly his comments throwing his team under the bus kind of show he was pissed and wasn't super interested in taking any blame personally for anything.

So fun and great to be back in Hilton. Masterful coaching job. My wife gifted me tickets and enjoyed 5 hour and 38 vehicles in the ditch trip from KC. She’s a trooper and converted Cyclone.
Good for you. I'm really glad the Clones put up a good show and got the W! It helped make it worth the trip.

They just as well let them ref from home via Zoom….. o_O. Might be better….. can’t be worse!
Careful. Don't give them any ideas.

Any discussion on Beard's post-game comments? Tweeted out by Stanz

I was pretty big defender and still feel pretty sympathetic towards him and respect him (Steve) as a man who always seemed to try to do right by his kids. But what the eff is this?

Is he crediting the culture for the recruiting of Hunter?

The fact he mentioned culture numerous times is the most confusing/baffling. Is he serious?
Beard doesn't know TJ. After today he probably doesn't want to. He was comfortable in his former club with Prohm being someone he could routinely beat, more than likely. Thus it is easy to give him props. I also don't think he wants to give TJ any credit for what he is doing.

His comment that he didn't pick us last, makes it even more disingenuous.
Edit: Don't forget Beard subbed a student manager into the game against us last year, while at TT. If he was such great friends with Prohm I doubt he does that.

Beard was a **** today. But Prohm held his own against Beard in general, so I'm not sure that has anything to do with anything.

Status quo then. TJ is something/someone he likely doesn't want to deal with.

OK, So get OUT already Te$as! Scurry on over to your SEC. You'll make lots of friends there. Have fond memories of Ames!

Ugh, just saw our game against Texas in Austin is on LHN. Bought tickets and I’ll be in Austin, anyone else going?

Make connections with the DFW Cyclone Club. They will pregame somewhere and are a great group to hang with! They've been super nice ever time I've road tripped to a game in Tx. dfwcyclones.org will be a starting point I believe. I've hung with them at Waco and Ft. Worth.

he had a very passive aggressive way of throwing his team under the bus, Prohm did the same thing...lists off everything they sucked at and blame execution...but then say "but I'm the coach"

I lost all my respect for beard today

Beard is one of the biggest a$$holes in college basketball. He is a Grade A douche and it was in full display today.

guy took a super talented Texas Tech team to the final four. Then sold out for UT. F**k him. He is totally overrated as a coach and under-achieving. He’s Shaka 2.0 but worse as his final four team actually belonged there.

It wasn't really passive aggressive at all. He said that they should ask the team why they they sucked.

Good. Hopefully players will do the same. No Five * culture for Texa$ ever would be fine with me.
