I didn't say he sucks. I said he didn't help his draft stock. Go away.Had a lot of rebounds tonight. But we lost so he sucks.
Agree. Great effort and very good prep by the staff . We just don't have the upside on offense or defense to pull out many end of game possessions against good teams.Really great effort and game from ISU. Only thing that I thought was bad was late game offense and defense. Oh yeah and free throws. Same reason they got beat by Gonzaga and Cinci. They didn't have a good offensive possession the last three possessions.
Same. But for different reasons...I worry about a hangover Saturday.
You must have a good nut cup, where did you get yours?
Don''t you understand how a nut cup works? Yes, I predicted we'd lose, but then we had a chance and couldn't close it out thus the nut cup comes into play.
Agree. The question is will they? They have shown they can play with the best teams if they play hard focused basketball for 40 mins. The hard part will be to do that night in and night out and not take teams lightly regardless of their record. I think the game against Texas will be telling. They will be favored and should win but if they come out flat and unfocused like they did against Iowa they'll lose and it shows that they didn't learn a Damn thing. If they do come out with hair on fire intensity then I think that'll bode well for the rest of the season.I don't worry about a hangover, because most of these guys know you can't take a night off in the big 12 and they will want to get a win after suffering a loss. If they keep playing like they did last night, they could win the next 3 games.
Well that certainly isn't flattering but I'm whilling to give Prohm a small pass until a year or two from now. RIght now we are experiencing the woes of Hoiberg's terrible recruiting his last two years. By no means do I think Prohm get's a pass on everything but you can only work with what you've got.Did a recount of our record in games decided by 5 points or less including OT under Prohm. Missed our win at home against Oklahoma last year and had an extra loss somewhere in there, so our actual record in these games is 5-10.
Our wins:
Iowa
@Cincy
Oklahoma
@Oklahoma State
Indiana State
Our losses:
UNI at Wells Fargo
@Oklahoma
Baylor
@texas
@Baylor x2
@ Texas Tech
Oklahoma in the Big 12 Tourney
Gonzaga
Cincy
Hoiberg also had some rough times in 2010-11 and 2012-13 in close games.Well that certainly isn't flattering but I'm whilling to give Prohm a small pass until a year or two from now.

yes and 14-15 wasn't that great either. As I mentioned a much larger percentage of Prohm's games have been close. For example in one year, Fred lost against Drake and UNI by more than 5. So I didn't count them as close losses, but certainly those weren't good losses. There are different ways of looking at that, but maybe Prohm is keeping games closer than Fred would and therefore losing a few more than Fred did.
