*** Official #19 IOWA STATE vs TCU Game(Day) Thread ***

[clonedlion]

When they showed the quote from CSP about team A and team B, he was implying when they get too high, they struggle. Well they lost a game at home they shouldn't have and now have no adjustments from the mistakes of that game or from their game against TCU from earlier. We all have criticisms of the players, but I think this shows it is clearly on the coach and the staff.

Who's ready for reports of a players only meeting!

If Babb, Wiggy, Halli, Shayok, and THT can't hit 3s, we will not win. Even Coach K couldn't fix shooters who can't hit wide open shots.

Idea for prohm, don't let the players practice offense until they show some damn heart of defense.

 

[clonedlion]

Don’t worry I’m sure we’ll get the classic Prohm response after the game - “Ya know, man, I probably should have gone to Zoran more in the first half” - like we’ve heard multiple times this year.

No **** coach. Unfortunately good coaches make the adjustment during the game, not after.

But if the team did everything they were supposed to, I shouldn't have needed Talley, lol. That is the point of coaching. Make adjustments until you find something that works.

Well, now that I’m convinced that this team isn’t any good and will definitely lose.... that might be when they turn it around...

This team cannot control tempo against anyone. They've been good when they make jump shots (net necessarily good shots). Easy baskets with this team are extremely rare. As of late, they do not have player to score when needed (poor ball movement may be a big factor here too).

Should have seen Duke the other night without Zion.

Obviously he's a big deal but it's not like their team isn't full of crazy talented players. UNC also has quietly become what looked like a really good team that night.

Start supporting the women's team. They are at least entertaining to watch and play TEAM ball.

 

[cyclonefan1983]

Put in Lewis as he should be the best three point shooter!

 

[madguy30]

I wouldn’t be remotely shocked if we lost every game the rest of the way.

I'm not sure if that will happen...but if so where does this team sit at 19 wins? Bubble or just lower seed?

 

[Doc]

I’m gonna email Jamie and see what can be done about that ******* abortion of a floor. The B12 should make them fix that ****. It’d be hard to watch even if we were playing well.

There aren’t any wide open shots, only ******, off balance 3s with 25 seconds left on the shot clock.

Prohm will probably say I shouldn’t have to play Talley if we play the way we’re supposed to.

 

[BigJCy]

Does anyone honestly believe the round of 32 isn’t our ceiling? We won’t make it far finding a team we wont match up well at all with.

Yeah we are 1 or 2 game team in the NCAA tourney unless we have a fluke shooting game (@ K-State).

Yep, absolutely maddening.

They may have to play the play in Big 12 play in game

 

[CentexCyclone]

We’re lucky to only be down 8 after going 0-9 from deep. Can only get better from here! Hopefully phrom gives em a little “Gosh darn it guys, let’s frickin go” pep talk at half.

Hopefully both teams will regress to their means in the second half and we'll get back in the game. It would be better if we were shooting better than 36.4%, locking them down defensively and gobbling up DRebs, but hope is all I got right now.

Lower seed. Too many good wins to be a bubble team.

Yeah, Duke still has three lottery picks without Zion. Coach K just doesn’t give a crap anymore.
