Going forward I will not give a single ounce of f*ck until they act like they do. There are too many other more important things to worry about.
***Iowa postgame thread***
- Thread starter Ry4Cy
- Start date
So did ISU
Wiggington
McNeil
Lewis
Thompson(or another 2018 big)
Young
Might be the next Iowa State team to go to the NCAAs if we don't learn how to run a basic offensive set

at this point i don't care if his defense is non existent but play Young 20 mins a game. Holden should be holding a towel on the bench. Babb starts. Naz comes in for no longer than 3 mins at a time to limit the his liability. Monte needs to be just Monte and not force it.
Does anyone else have the same feeling they used to have after every McDermott game when he coached here
But how does this not look like it's being addressed 9 months later with veteran players?
Something's not right...not ready to start putting it on Prohm since even Fred had bad many losses in December, but this isn't an Iowa team that should be able to beat many teams even if they play with their hair on fire.

Would he foul the towel?
Remember when you were adamant that the better team always wins?
Been awhile since we hosted an NIT game, with our non con resume, it'll take 9 or 10 big 12 wins to get us in the real tourney. Even if we took care of everyone at home, who do we beat on the road?
ok -
yoga, happy place, focus on the light... Unicorns, rainbows and palm trees. Tinsel and snowmen... Chocolate bars, marshmallows, graham crackers. Brown paper packages wrapped up with string. Integrals, for loops, multi dimensional arrays and footnotes with bibliographies and .... no wait... baseball, hot dogs, app..... arghghhh.
I agree with NWB and Young, but not Jackson. NWB should be starting over Naz IMO, and then bring Naz off the bench for a spark. Young is WAY better than Holden too and should start ahead of him as well.
And Bowie needs more minutes too IMO. If Burton starts the game and misses a few, then Bowie might as well be in there because if Burton is not hitting then he's a liability on offense because he hogs the ball too much.
Sadly this is spot on. Maybe add that Prohm is not going to gain us many advantages too.
When at our best, we're decent. That's the most optimistic outlook right now.
And cocky. He says before the game "we’re trying to go out there and beat them badly.” Who does that? Funny, I can't imagine a Villanova player saying that...
Tonight Iowa played like a better team. It took them to play out of their minds or just do things very different than their 3-5 start, but they were better.
ISU looked nice Monday night but are pretty much hot garbage if the other team plays hard.
That feeling that the coach has no idea what he's doing and is completely in over his head? Yes, I get that feeling.
Here are my honest non trolling thoughts.
ISU is the better team. Iowa is young, and will have ups and downs. ISU came in over cocky, and expected to do whatever they wanted. This Iowa team doesn't remember what it feels like to blow large leads. Those guys are gone.
So maybe this will get guys like Morris and Long to take opponents seriously, rather than talk **** before games. Obviously they aren't good enough to just walk into another teams house and impose their will.
