This was peek lhn

Honestly, I thought the same thoughts watching the UT staff from about 20 rows or so behind their bench. It really did look like Shaka and his staff knew the last 6 minutes were of huge significance to their UT careers or outlook.

They were really really really upping their coaching intensity or at least trying to the last 6 minutes.

Afraid to ask what our "coach" was doing at that time. chap stick?

I wonder if they knew that ISU would have a hard time closing out the game.

I retract that description - but after watching video of him playing with the USA U19 team - he is not playing at the same level. Much more intense with the U19 team.

So you are saying TH played harder for a coach known for hard nosed teams?!

 

[NWICY]

Well we managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory today.

It's exactly what Neill Barry told Shaka.

Solo>conditt>jacobson.

Hali>Bolton>tlew>Jackson>grill>walkons>playing with 4 guys> nixon

pretty simple.. play the best players and figure sh** out..

Tlew better than Tre?

 

[sheepplucker]

Tlew better than Tre?

it’s kind of a push.. with how streaky this team shoots I would prefer the length and athleticism over 3pt shot.

 

[SpokaneCY]

Did you make the trip over to Corvallis in November for the OSU game? I happen to live in Northwest Montana. We took the opportunity to drive over to Corvallis and enjoy the game.

Sadly no. And I'm mad at myself since opportunities to watch live out here are rare...

 

[hoosman]

Seems like we ran out of gas due to lack of substitutions. Lewis and Grill no minutes. Condit 5 minutes . Basically 7 guys with 2 guys playing all 40 minutes. No wonder Texas scored 11 straight to put us away at the end.

I don't blame this loss on Prohm. However when you are 9-11 and now 9-12 you don't really get the benefit of the doubt.

Fans need to be realistic and understand Prohm isn't going to get fired after this year. The tourney last year and Pollard's stubbornness will give Prohm next year.

Of course Prohm will get next year. Pollard loves him. This is what people dont seem to understand. If he goes 4-14 in conference next season and misses the NIT once again he will still be back the following season! I would be willing to bet good money the next 3 seasons after this one are guaranteed even if we make no post season whatsoever.

Pollard loved DMac too but it became clear the course of action. I think Pollard is pretty good about giving his employees the appropriate opportunities (for JP) to prove their worth or not. Morgan comes to mind...

Did Conditt get hurt? I didn't watch the game but just checked the box score and saw he only played 5 minutes.

Sucked and never came back

 

[CyBobby]

Isn't it odd that with about 8 minutes to go the referees stopped calling any fouls on Texas? I think at the time we only had 2 fouls on us. There was plenty of contact those last 8 minutes but apparently ISU was the only one capable of fouling, even though we had the lead. This FACT is very frustrating since we played well enough to win today. IMO

That is "Life on the Road" my friend...esp Homer Referees

Prohm will get next season to see if he can turn it around and he should, for what he has done. But next season will be a lot like Smart from Texas this season, lot of pressure to make the tournament. or be canned at the end of 20/21 season. The announcers talked about it yesterday regarding Smart, ISU could be doing the same thing with Prohm next year.

What we do not want is to get into is a situation where we are winning enough to save his job, but not enough to make the tournament. Critical year for Prohm next year to say the least.

Except in Hilton. We get road refs even at home.

 

[AlaCyclone]

I watched the game on LHN. Solid effort overall. No issue with that. Bummer that ISU lost it at the end. Giving up open 3s like they did will do that to a team. Bad defense, bad luck, whatever - stuff like that happens. Love it when it happens in the favor of the Cyclones and dislike it when it goes against them. Just too much Erwin Magic, I suppose.

 

[Cyfanisu]

How many of the top college players are playing all 40 minutes each game, every game? Will TH have anything left by the end of the season? Is it starting to show now at the end of games? Give the man a break now and then, he is not Superman.

Monte Morris also played practicall

god I hope you’re wrong

That and they aren’t good on defense and they don’t have a go to guy on offense that can close games.
