I think we have 2 more wins if Tre Jackson plays, no?

We only shot 33% from 3. Not exactly setting the world on fire. I thought it was interesting that we are #1 in the conference in 2 pt percentage. Seems like we are always playing teams that have played a lot more games than us. As the season ages that should become less of a factor.
Agreed... I was surprised that's the case... And makes our early in the **** lock 3s even more maddening!
I'd also like to see Prohm be a little more in-your-face. Just to know he's got it it in him. Coaches don't have to be and shouldn't always be nice. They need to get angry (with some players more than others), and often if necessary, I think. It is their job to make the players and team better.
I'm encouraged we played better tonight and with drive and energy. We'll see how the trend goes. I still wish Prohm would have gotten a Technical tonight. I'm sure there was a place or two for it. And I agree with others that I wish he wasn't so quiet, but talked to the officials more, like tonight how come the fouls were so one-sided? He needs to be less passive, less Mr. Nice. He has plenty of nice to fill in the gaps.

They played about as well as they could play and came up just short. Hats off to the guys for fighting like they did. If they continue to fight like that all year I will enjoy watching regardless of the outcome.

Agree, 1 game is the anomaly at this point, but seems to me like our defense had a lot to do with their "OFF" night. I didn't see them missing a bunch of open looks.
ISU showed its youth in this game especially the last 5 minutes. What a complete **** show by the refs.
Their offense is predicated around getting offensive rebounds and drawing fouls. They don’t have great guards. I don’t think they had an off night, I think ISU just played well.
Better game, but I don’t think Johnson should play much. He had awful shot selection, constantly tries to dribble drive and isn’t very good at it, and makes lazy bad passes. Harris didn’t have a great game but has showed some good play at times. Without Johnson we probably have to play more often with 2 bigs but that looked ok last night. As others have noted when the announcer said Prohm is really good at out of bounds plays I really did lol. Even the biggest Prohm supporter would have to question that comment. Anyway better effort and moved the ball well at times and Bolton was getting it done.
We did play well but I think even though it doesn't look like it on paper, WV is a good matchup for us. They aren't great offensively and are bound to have droughts playing the way you describe, plus it doesn't allow for any rhythm on offense. If you match their effort, you can hang, we were able to do that. There isn't as much of a talent gap as you'd think for them being the #8 team in the country, they are just better at playing to their strengths, they know who they are.
I'm still pissed about that first foul called on Foster. Straight garbage.
If they play like this every game and lose I’ll be ok with it. Limit the turnovers and we win.
He's just about there. Just needs to take the last step of not bothering to come here and tell us all how much he doesn't care.
