*** Official Iowa State Season Thread ***

Dude shut down his social media in 2016 because he couldn't take the heat from....umm....Iowans? Also said he was "beat up" by Murray State fans too?

Maybe he's a nice guy. Maybe he's an arrogant ass

But he never once seemed like a leader.

Almost winning a half , at least I'm saving money by not buying ESPN+. You notice how the #### poor teams are not on ESPN or commercial tv. Looks like we'll have a few years before we are.

I am also SAVING $$.$$ by not buying espnplus....I could only stand to listen to this game for a little while....Way too depressing as I get flashbacks to the Ken Trickey & FBI guy Lynn Nance era's!

 

[CyBobby]

Even IF we fire Prohm (God I hope so), what coach would willingly come here to coach this rock-bottom program?

You have a Point ...It TOOK DOUBLING JOHNNY ORR'S SALARY AT MICHIGAN to get Johnny to come to ISU.

Jamie will get another Ohio Valley or other Mid Level coach at a cheap price and this program will just be another one of our second division teams in conference play. btw it took Johnny Orr four seasons to get to a 16 win and 13 win season.

Be Patient its going to take a while to get back in the top half of this conference unless half of the coaches move on to more lucrative jobs!

Did anyone else find it interesting in the Hines' article when he mentioned that Pollard hadn't been at basketball games this year

Here's some fun numbers. Thought i would see how our freshman compared in points scored against some other notable ISU players in their freshman year. Seeing as Xavier Foster was hurt, i will add in conditts point total to help our guys out. Through the 23 game season thus far, dubar, blackwell, foster, walker, and conditt have combined for 202 points.

Melvin Ejim: 254 points
Wigginton: 366 points



Please forgive any math errors. I did a bunch of it in my head and its early.

Where did he say the thing about social media at Murray?

Travis spent a lot of time twisting the knife. When there is nothing different that Prohm can say right now. Oh well I guess that's his job.

On another note, since Delaware State won today, we are now only one of two teams nationwide to not win a conference game this season (the Portland pilots are the other)

third worst win % (throw out Chicago St (0-9) since they shut down Dec 20). Only Idaho (1-20) and S. Carolina St (1-17) are worse.

All those sound like the kind of teams you pay to come lose to you at the beginning of the season.

When I think of what Prohm did to Iowa State basketball this is what comes to mind:

From the Daily. I'm rolling with our school paper

Steve Prohm has left social media platforms amid rough Big 12 start

ISU men's basketball coach Steve Prohm said he has deleted his Facebook and Twitter profiles on Thursday to avoid waves of criticism after his team's 1-3 start in conference play.

Combine that with poor shooters with no concept of a high % shot and an offense that doesn't put 2-3 players in position to get offensive rebounds and its no wonder we didn't win a Big 12 game this season and are 18-54 in the Big 12 the last 4 years. Additionally, we are 5-38 in road games over the last 4 years. With all 5 road wins coming in 2018/19 season.

Agree with everything you posted but he has only won 4 road games not 5. They were 4-5 on the road that year.

We did pay Chicago State to come and lose to us back in December, but before they got here they cancelled their season. I'm reasonably confident that would have been our 3rd win of the season, but at least this year it could have been another Florida A & M type of situation...

I know that mbb doesn’t have very many highlights from their games but has anyone else noticed lately that iowa state athletics hasn’t been posting game highlight results lately for mbb but does for the other sports.

The Twitter account for MBB no longer tweets them out either. Likely due to negative comments left on the videos as well as there is literally no point in doing the work of cutting up game footage of horrible basketball to show to fans that don’t care.

It's a "We lost by 30 but look at this sweet banged in 2 footer" kind of feel. Nobody wants to see our Big XII team provide high school level highlights.

Isn't Jamie part of the NCAA committee for the tourney? I imagine that will be a huge time suck the next couple weeks....as he layers on what's needed for figuring out the Prohm situation.

This is not true however. JP has been at games this year.

The committee’s main job is done in a week on Selection Sunday
