Yeah I think the effort has been fine. It's lack of offensive talent that is the problem.
The effort has been pathetic. Not boxing out. Not hustling back in transition. It's more frustrating than the offense which has no hope. It doesn't take talent to work hard.

On one hand, you can say this is year one and they are making the tourney. On the other hand this is the worst offensive team in major college basketball and has one functional offensive player in IB, that is gone next year. They rebound like **** and have one capable rebounder on the team that is also IB.

ISU needs more 6'8 crazy good athletes that can guard anywhere.

Know any teams like that?

I give TJ due credit for what he did this year. No one would have thought we’d be in the tourney.

But it sucks to have gotten hopes up so high. Next year will likely be bottom of Big 12 and sub 500. Incoming class is okay, but - let’s be honest - none of them are program changers. He’s got to land a huge class next year or our program is going to be in complete rebuild mode.

Well… let’s come out and try all the same **** again on offense and see if that works.

Was Prohm REALLY that bad?? That’s what you got to ask yourself. Because OTZ isn’t exactly blowing me away with his coaching prowess…
I feel like prohm was a bottom 3 p6 coach, tj is a bottom like 30% p6 coach. The chasm between prohm and tj is wide, but the chasm between tj and the b12 league average coach is also wide, right now.

Good news: we’ve gone away from our big man at free throw line extended facilitating offense

Bad news: turns out our secondary offensive strategy is “clusterfuck wtf are we doing omg”
