Way up there
Did I ever imply specific criteria NO. Only an idiot would not realize you must be able to win at KU to make the FF. That skill could be many things, speed, rebounding, tough D etc. I hope you realize that, I hope ISU can teach more than how to pray and get Alabama hand me downs.

Of the last 16 final four teams the only one to win a game at KU was......KU. Additionally, since 2010 not one team that has won at KU has made the final four (SDSU, Davison, Okie St,Texas). Not sure where you're coming from with this.

Nobody knows where he comes from with anything. It's definitely not reality though

True, you didn't imply specific criteria in the event of a loss. You just implied that they needed to win.

"But the post was in response to, are you happy with the coach. If he does a decent job, then we will likely loose [sic] that game. If he is a great coach (and a person is happy that he got hired) [sic] then we should win. To get to the final four, you need to be able to win in Lawrence."

That post implies that we need to win at Kansas.

You must not be able to read, able to means have the skill. Having the ability does correlate with specifics. Actually winning does and I will give specific criteria for that, ISU must score more points than Kansas to win. What criteria do you think we lack to be ABLE to win.

Clearly his handle was supposed to be psychosrus.[/Q No, yours should be "Rocksbetweenears." Note the schedule has ISU playing Kansas in Lawrence, why FF implications. Those that set the schedule are as smart as me. The game will be billed by all as such, unless you lack knowledge of the sport.

This thread is getting ridiculous. Judging on a coach on a team being "able to win"? What criteria do you even evaluate "able to win" on? Outside of 16 vs 1, we've seen that just about any team is "able" to beat just about any other team in D-I.

Ya that's on the schedule every year (one with knowledge of the sport would know this). More confirmation that you are an uninformed troll. Also, that post barely made sense.

What?

We play at Kansas every year. Schedule makers don't have anything to do with it.

I hope you did not graduate from ISU. A schedule denotes WHO WHERE and WHEN. I hope you are able to grasp that and the connection.

You're saying the schedule makers are smart because they scheduled a game at Kansas. The schedule makers don't have that choice, it's required by Big 12 conference rule. So they're smart because they did what they're absolutely mandated by rule to do?

I know what the word able means, do you know what the word imply means?

Here's the problem Sergeant Semantics, almost any team has the ability to win at Kansas (and therefore has the ability to reach the final four), but it's impossible to prove whether a team was able to win if they didn't do so. And that's a problem for you (or it would be for almost anyone else), because you implied that in order for coach Prohm to be a great coach and Iowa State to get to the final four, they need to win in Lawrence which as others have pointed out, isn't true. That should be a problem because that means you can't necessarily use the game in Lawrence as a test for if he's a great coach (which is you're goal), or to determine if we'll go to the final four. But, let's be honest, if we lose there you're going to whine and moan, and use it as a referendum on Prohm's coaching ability even though you shouldn't.

Isn't the only criteria that you can get the ball in the hoop? Theoretically, any team that does that has the ability to win.

Wait, so am I getting this right? This guy thinks he's a genius because he feels he is the first and possibly only person to see that ISU @ KU being scheduled as last game on their schedule wasn't a coincidence?

He thinks he's a genius and when we play KU has nothing to do with it.
