Suddenly we are tied for last place in the conference. If that isn't a wake up call I don't know what is...
1-3 in the Big 12 Meltdown Thread
- Thread starter simply1
- Start date
This game was strange in the sense that ISU outrebounded Texas by 7, had a higher shooting percentage, everything else being equal.
The one killer was the 3 point shot Texas outscored ISU by 21.
We do miss Naz Long getting hot from 3

Cincy, not as good as we thought going into that game.
Iowa, yes, our best win of the season. Awesome comeback. I loved it.
OU, nice we played them close, still lose.
lose to a mediocre Texas team.
almost lose to a mediocre Texas tech team at home
lose to a decent Baylor team but at home.
Lose to a mediocre UNI team at a neutral site
blah blah play against several non conference teams where they seemed to sleep walk to a win.
Past years performances mean nothing.
I love the clones and hope they prove me wrong but right now they look like a middle of the pack Big 12 team who might be on the bubble come selection Sunday.
I'm not saying they are perfect, or don't have things to work on. Just pointing out your absurd assertion that they've done NOTHING to impress you.
Could argue they've done nothing since the OU game, but all season? They've had some flashes, just gotta keep up the focus on D all game. It's not due to a lack of effort.

That and working on his inside game on offense. He is horrible unless he is getting dunks. It's not just him throwing up ridiculous shots, but also we have nobody crashing the boards. You'd think the guys would think "oh crap, Jameel is going for the shot I better get in there."
This team is taking the same path as last years Texas team.
Last year, Texas was preseason ranked #10, climbed to #6, went 11-2 in the non-conf.
Then fell apart when Big 12 play started. Went 3-6 and fell out of the top 25.
Ended the regular season 19-12 (8-10).
11 seed in the NCAA tourney, lost opening round game to 6 seed Butler.
That team had a lot of talent, but just couldn't finish games.
I pray ISU's season doesn't take that path and our veteran players can figure things out.

I think a lot of this is on Prohm. He looks just as lost as a coach as our players do on defense. Players looking lost isnt their fault, its the coach. If he is doing his job, your players will be in position. Prohm sucks, I am over the honeymoon
Also reminds me of Oklahoma State 2 years ago when they had little depth and Cobbins went down. Finished 8-10 in Big 12 and barely made it in. Many picked them to win conference that year.
never said they did nothing to impress me. That comeback against Iowa was impressive. I said they have done nothing to show that they are no better than a bubble team. Put their resume up against other teams with similar records that weren't as highly ranked in the pre season and I'm sure you will see what I mean. 1 win against a ranked team does not make for an impressive tournament resume so far. That can change and I hope it does but right now, they are a bubble team in my opinion.
Yes, another great comparison.
Started preseason ranked #8. Climbed to #5. Went 12-1 non-conf.
Started off Big 12 play decent at 4-2, but went on a 7 game losing streak and dropped out of top 25.
Ended regular season at 20-11 (8-10).
Lost opening round in NCAA Tourney to 9 seed Gonzaga.
