    Scalping options - Milwaukee

    Never been to the BMO Harris Bradley Center, so I'm not sure of the scalping opportunities. Is it anything like KC for the Big 12 tourney, as there are plenty of tickets readily available down there always to scalp? Trying to decide whether or not to get tickets before leaving DSM or waiting...

    5 or 6 seed locked barring a miracle @ Kansas

    Looks like we'll more than likely be the 6 seed at this point, which means we'll play late on Thursday. I think this is our best chance to get to the title game and it will mean "Hilton South" every evening. Good chance we can win the tourney again from the bottom half of the bracket. Thoughts?

    It's simple: Play through Niang every possession = win

    Monte is the only player that should be bringing the ball up the court and Niang should be the only player that touches the ball EVERY possession. Until he is doubled or tripled, we have to continue to feed him or run set plays for him. He is the toughest match-up in college basketball. We...

    Social Media Ban Necessary?

    I know I started a thread about a month ago discussing how other coaches have banned their players from social media during the season. I really think it's time for Coach Prohm to tell McKay and others (Monte posts all the time too) to delete their accounts until April. McKay has become a...

    Social media ban necessary until April 4th

    Dear Coach Prohm, Please ban your players from social media until the end of the season. Take a page out of HOF coach Tom Izzo's book and cut your players off from all social media outlets. Their egos have gotten out of control and they no longer play for each other. Please bring them...

    Best fans in college basketball...Weakest student section

    It's no coincidence that we are the worst in country in free throw % allowed. Teams are shooting 77% against us, good for last in the nation. Our student section has no originality nor creativity with chants or tactics to antagonize the opposing free throw shooter. Can someone please...

    CPR needs to go

    Can't close the deal against a ranked team at home with a near capacity crowd. Can't score in the 2nd half? And Mr Conservative in the 2nd half and down the stretch, playing not to lose. If we start 0-4, he needs to be put on the hot seat. If we start 0-6, Jamie needs to get rid of him and...

    Rundown: Rest of Conference schedule/seeding

    We have one of the most favorable schedules left in conference play. That being said, we still have to show up as TX Tech proved last eve that any team can win on any given night. 4 of the 7 teams we have left on our schedule are below us in the standings. (Okie St, Tx tech, @Baylor, @TCU) We...

    Bubu could help...Monte at the point

    As much as I hate to start this thread with all of the speculation in the media, I think Bubu would be a great addition to the team at this point. (I was totally opposed to it 3 or 4 days ago until my brother persuaded me differently). Coming off the bench, he would provide quality minutes...

    Experience = wisdom = winning

    After one of the most entertaining, but disappointing losses in Iowa State history, I still will point the finger at CFH and his staff, not the players. The players continue to do what the coaches tell them to, but the opposing coaches continue to out coach CFH and his staff in the waning...

    Yes, I'm calling out Mr. Fred Hoiberg...3 reasons we don't win on the road.

    After last nights loss and reading some of the posts this morning, it's time to point fingers at one person and one person only. Fred Hoiberg. He's the only person that should be blamed after this loss. He needs to take full responsibility of this loss and every other loss we've had on the...

    Lack of effort

    5. Iowa State. Wednesday's loss at Texas Tech was one of the worst by any Division I team this season. The Cyclones scored a season-low 51 points and shot 35.3 percent against one of the Big 12's worst teams. They were also outrebounded. With K-State coming to town Saturday, Fred Hoiberg's squad...

    @ Kansas Historically

    Lets face it, everybody in the Big 12 has struggled at Kansas in the Phog these past 10-12 years. Iowa State has had a decent amount of success down there, more than any other team in the Big 12, winning 3 times since 1999. Kansas State (2006) Texas A&M (2007), and Texas (2011) are the only...

    Detailed Statistical Analysis through 20 games

    After the loss to Texas last night, my brother and I are dumbfounded by the personnel Hoiberg continues to play and why he thinks he has the right combination starting, coming off the bench, etc. Numbers don't lie and while intangibles do play a key role outside of the statistics, when it comes...

    Changes have implemented now!!! Not when Big 12 play starts.

    After watching yesterdays game, it is inevitable that some abrubt changes need to be implemented in order for us to win. Hoiberg continues to coach not to lose, instead of to win. He needs to play the best players for 25-33 minutes/game. Here is what needs to be addressed. 1. Ejim has done...
