They don't have the right guys to just grind and try to dirty up a game either. In fact they probably lean more that attack on offense direction by nature, even though they aren't good at it.

Haha, so, basically they're just not good.

New talking point for all those wanting to can Prohm. Either that or they just learned a new word.
Stansbury made a good point on the CF radio show this week. Prohm has said for this team to be successful, they need to play good defense and be more of a defensive minded team. The problem with that is that has never been the identity of Iowa State under Hoiberg and Prohm, so its really hard to do that when that's never been your identity.
Play your best offensive players, that includes Lewis. Its our best chance to win.
Zion playing the 4 is probably our best option offensively at that spot.

I still don’t understand why people think Lewis is that good.
The 'we need to be better at defense thing' sounds great but is only more difficult to watch when ISU looks so lost on defense. The tactic vs. KU was to double the post when they basically play two really good posts, then go to 4 guards/Conditt that looked more planned than a response to what KU was doing.
And it's not only doubling, it always seems like it's really obvious doubling instead of maybe just having someone flash to the post from behind to get them thinking and scrambling.
Feels a little like when we didn't know who was going to be starting or playing at QB week to week in the CPR era.
The same people that were banging on Thomas and who think if Conditt started we would be undefeated.
While its a small sample size, he is shooting 50% from 3 this year. We're 7-7; might be time to try some different things.
He played 36 minutes in the worst loss in college basketball history.
Do people think Lewis is good or do they just think the guys playing above him also haven’t proven anything? If I’m ever vocal about giving Lewis a chance it isn’t because I think he can save the season but more so that we are 7-7 and the guys ahead of him haven’t done much either so giving him a chance won’t kill you.
true. And it’s not like it’s completely fair to him since tyrese wasn’t playing. Although tyrese was garbage Wednesday night.
I just think he’s gotten plenty of chances. He played quite a bit Wednesday and was not great.
First of all, you're a terrible person for making me go back and look at that box score. Secondly, I am not advocating for him to play 36 minutes a game like he did in that one. But getting him 15-20 minutes a game off the bench to shoot a few 3's might be beneficial. We already suck at defense anyways; might as well have another outside threat on the floor.
Seems unnecessarily rude to our best player by a wide margin and one who’s everything you want a player to be.
Agree with this...but he needs to be coached well to improve and I’m not sure this staff is capable....
