I know a few years ago West Virginia had their best player come off the bench. Can't remember the guys name

Who cares? None of those teams were playing today. Our historic failures there don't excuse today. Irwin center isn't the Phog or Cameron Indoor. We were a slight favorite in this game and got run off the floor. The fact that teams lost there before our freshman players were born doesn't make it better. UT isn't a great team this year.
28 minutes in the game. Only Shayok/Halliburton played more. ISU was leading the game when he came in. Which coincidentally was when Bevo got hot from three.
Stop grabbing at straws.
Silver lining today was clearly Conditt and to me it is much more than his production. What I love is a guy that got minutes early in the season, did fine, and hasn't played much with Lard back yet George has always been into the games, and clearly prepares well. Instead of getting down he was ready to take advantage of his opportunity. It seems like a little thing, but guys like that are huge in developing winning culture.
I don't even know what he's trying to say. Maybe it's a reference to that retired prof who wrote an op-ed in the Register because he didn't like Prohm's religion.
He was good. But everyone complaining about defense should awknowledge he still not good there.
Neither is Iowa St, haven't been all season. They do have some great wins, but never have been consistent enough to be great. Or really even good enough to be confident that they would win on the road against another tournament team.
In a way, I wasn't even disappointed after the loss today. Why? Because none of it surprises me anymore. We can beat just about anyone if we're hitting our 3's and running, and we can get absolutely destroyed by just about anyone too because most of the time our guys have no heart, desire, or pride in themselves or ISU.... and only seem interested in going pro or something?
Just take Cam Lard for instance. He obviously doesn't give a rip about anyone but himself. He let all his teammates down, and all the fans that pay money to support this team. And at this crucial time of the season too. But it's nothing new for him.
And then all our guys just standing around and refusing to play defense, or rebound, and lazy on offense too by not passing to teammates and just launching bad 3's.
I still hope this team can play up to their potential in the NCAA tournament, but not holding my breath. If they get beat by an average team in the 1st round, I'll likely be like I am today.... not really even care because we should have all seen it coming. I'm pretty meh on the season now. Hopefully they can do something to get me excited again.

There’s a difference. I have no problem with people who are excited by wins and frustrated with losses, so long as they don’t go off the deep end. It’s those that are absent for wins and eager to throw shots after a loss.
The move I didn't understand was going to the zone for a few possessions in the second half.
What we needed was some tough extended man to man without switching. Unfortunately, I don't think we have a "lock down" defender to cover the hot shooter.
To be frank, I don't think Prohm teaches a tough man to man style.

They have definitely lost some confidence on both ends of the floor.
Best case scenario: They have a get right game against wvu. Play hard and well in Hilton on senior night, and get a win.
I really don't care about the Big 12 tournament, but ideally they get a good draw in the tournament, and they can feel rejuvenated to play a team outside of the conference. Hopefully it looks like the Ole Miss game.
We were up 16-7 with what I'm sure was mostly the starting lineup to that point in the game.
Can't blame today's game on a bad start, for once.
Who is going to "buy in" to a tough man-to-man style?
If I played defense for my high school squad like Horton-Tucker does, my coach wouldn't have given me a minute of playing time.
Drake is the best team in this state right now, about ready to win an MVC championship without their best player.
At this point I have no idea if this team loses all of their remaining games or runs the table and makes a deep run in the tourney, but it does not seem like they are playing their best basketball in March which should be the coach's goal.
Remember Lard isn't the first guy Prohm has had problems with. He couldn't get McKay in line either. I know its his team but I often wonder if he expects these kids to be eagle scouts all the time. That probably isn't going to happen. Prohm has to be able to work with kids who don't share his puritan morals.
