What were the expectations for this team at the beginning of the year? Where was Iowa State picked to finish in the Big 12?
Disinformation, you forget Memphis just beat a solid Virginia Tech team 24 hours before. You're right about Creighton but they did have the best recruiting class in the Big East. Iowa already had a road win at Virginia before they played us. I really wish people would stop trying to say those wins were illegitimate.
My 2 cents, They just look worn down with enough energy at times to make it a game, but they just don't have enough to last 40 minutes.

Should those expectations have changed at all following an undefeated non-conference? I'm not sure what you're suggesting here.
So are all the teams with a Top 10 defense run down now also? There seems to be some belief that just because we play good defense that's why we are run down.This perspective paints the players as humans.
Unacceptable.
If you saw how they were winning those games including beating some bad SWAC teams by 10 scoring in the 40s you had to wonder how it would transition to conference season in a year when each team is potentially more capable than anyone ISU beat in the non-conference.

LSU is a Top 10 defense with a pathetic offense like us and just righted their ship this week. They didn't look rundown yesterday.
In a lot of ways TJ is a the victim of his early success. This team has regressed and that isn't on Prohm. That's on TJ.

Ha. Grill missed how many open 3's yesterday? He can't miss some games and can't hit the rim others. That's not coaching. Sure it would be nice to get 20+ from our post players. Who on this roster is going to do that? I'm very optimistic about the future when TJ builds the roster to do the things he's wanting to do.. it's just not quite there yet. Chris can rightfully defend TJ all he wants.I think the answer really boils down to this: People are frustrated/concerned, and rightly so, because there is ZERO creativity on offense, no set plays, and no adjustments whatsoever by the coaching staff. This is consistent in what we've seen with Prohm and McDermott and so people are losing their minds. Losing a 15 point lead in Hilton to one of the worst teams in the league was the breaking point, and Williams is adamantly defending TJ on Twitter when everyone knows there is a relationship there, which is throwing gas on a fire of an irate fanbase.
Yeah, they won 2 games this week against decent competition.You mean the LSU team that almost blew a huge lead last night vs. a marginal Mississippi State team?
Most likely, so it's a talent issue now or we are just tired? I'm trying to understand why this team is so bad all of a sudden and I'm getting alot of different excuses.LSU’s roster is a bit more talented don’t you think.
