*** Official IOWA STATE Vs Oklahoma Gameday Thread ***

[awd4cy]

Do we know who ISU will be playing on Wednesday yet?

Looks like Texas is set. With them missing Bamba, Jones, and Davis, I can’t believe WVU couldn’t manage to beat them.

I looked all over, and couldn't find his stats when driving to the basket...

But, I get what he's trying to say.

If Lindell is playing PG, we are in trouble. Hope Prohm finds a real PG.
I don’t think LW will make the NBA. He HAS to play PG there and it isn’t a natural position for him. He is a combo guard.
Afraid Prohm is going to try to force fit him as a PG. Our future success will depend on if we can find a “Blaylock” to match LW’s “Stinson”.
LW is the classic great college player but not convinced it translates to the NBA. He will make good money playing b-ball somewhere though.

-yes I know this is an opinion only
-yes I know he is only a freshman
-yes I could be proven wrong
-yes I love that LW is a Cyclone
-yes I trust Coach Prohm

I agree if SP cant find a power 5 point guard for next season...well....we be in a heap of S**T....all over again.........

I think Texas is best case. Any update on Davis playing? Bamba looks like just a one game injury.

 

[CyBobby]

Am I crazy or did this used to be a board you could express an opinion without being insulted?

U mean to tell me that this is an opinion board.....LOL.....looks to me like if anyone deviates from drinking the prohm kool aid .....well U know the rest....bash away as they say..........................Losing and Last Place SUCKS imho...cant wait for the spring football game..............................

It’s too bad those metrics are not as available for the college game.

Bobby, he found one in Game 3.

Now he’s just got to figure out how the pieces fit. He’ll have more pieces next year to try, which is mostly good.

Looks like Texas Wednesday. Not ideal, but I don't think it matters at this point.

Is KSU trying to pull a Michigan 2017 and wear practice jerseys?

I'm going to wait to see what a healthy Babb can do at PG next year with a few more weapons, but I was not overly impressed with how he did against the B12 competition this season. I'll assume he was nagged by his injury. His D was noticeably bad and his 3 point % really fell off a cliff.

I think having Shayok and THT should help next year because that's 4 players (with Lard and LW) that Babb will have that are all capable of scoring in bunches.

He can’t make gold out of straw.
Very few things about this offense has been consistently impressive, even things that should be.

 

[CRcyclone6]

It must have been prior to '09 bc I don't remember that.

It sure seems worse the last few years. Maybe it's the flooding of hawk fans coming over. It that case, they deserve all the insults.

 

[acody]

It used to be

Your glass has to be more than half full of cardinal and gold Kool-Aid at all times. Also, just ignore any problems ISU coaches, players or teams may have and only spin everything positive. Blind love.

Yeah, I'm quite sure it was the injury. No explosiveness, which is really his defining trait. If you can't get past your guy, the defense doesn't break down. He'll be fine.

I think we can go Babb-Talley-Wigginton-Haliburton(?) at the point/to initiate the offense. Maybe Tyler Harris if we have a defection and can land him.

 

[Cyhops]

There's expressing an opinion and promoting an agenda.

Is that your opinion or an agenda?

 

[Cyhops]

He's also a freshman that has been shoved into a role (point guard) that he clearly wasn't ready for.

So you'd rather no one say anything about the effort and listening to the coach since they are all part of the problem?

Was he the pg preseason and before Babb took over?

No, he wasn't.

Wait, are we a football school again?
