I think THT is going to be really good next year
The loss to Hampton and the loss to UAB both affected the creditability of the program in the short term. On a national level it made people think that maybe Iowa State was not that good or was over rated. The Hampton loss is still shown on graphics during the tourney as one of the biggest upsets of all time. To say an early season loss to Milwaukee at home with basically all new guys is on that same level is dumb.
I will take the feeling after the losses to Hampton and UAB to my grave. I'll barely remember Milwaukee in a couple years.
That ISU team losing to a 19-15 UAB team in March was a worse emotional loss AND basketball loss. That team had 5 guys that have now played in the NBA.I think you guys are mistaking the difference between a worse basketball loss and a worse emotional loss. Milwaukee was a worse basketball loss but the other two were worse emotionally for everyone.
Kudos for attempting to get thread back on topic; good info as wellSo, my dad is a referee in the Chicagoland area and was refereeing this past week at a holiday tournament when he overheard some other refs talking about the Simeon basketball team. One of the guys was talking about THT and was absolutely raving about him. Said he is the best player that he has seen come out of Chicago Public Schools since Derrick Rose and he has been officiating CPS games since Kevin Garnett played at Farragut. So, thats kind of fun to hear.

Yeah, and that season was a complete disaster.Milwaukee loss is on the same level as Drake loss in 99-00
I don't know about haters but there's still a massive group of Hoiberg **** suckers on Reddit.Does Prohm even have any haters at this point?
FFS.Milwaukee loss is on the same level as Drake loss in 99-00
Could be the second biggest recruiting steal by ISU in recent history behind Georges.
