Technically McKay wasn't wrong. We played 1 game on Saturday, and we'll also play 1 more game on Wednesday. He just hasn't tweeted the "1 game" for Wednesday's game yet.

Exactly, he's just buying into Prohm's day-by-day attitude. He's clearly changed his ways.

Absolutely expected Prohm to extend the suspension at least another game after that BS tweet. Needs to learn somehow.

Props to Prohm for how he's handling this.

Disagree.....he should have stayed off twitter and any other social media and just remain quiet. JM should have been able to deduct that himself without being given a gag order by coach.

Fully support the coaching staff on this decision. But I do see us losing Wednesday...

Agree on supporting coaching staff, but going the other way on Wednesday's prediction. Team will remember this game potentially costing us a shot at the regular season title last year. I think we come fired up and play a full game end to end.

Tech is a winnable game. It will be tough though.

They don't need McKay there to box out and be smart with the basketball, and Nader doesn't need him around to have a much better game than this past Saturday.

Foul trouble will still be a concern.

I thought Ashton looked pretty comfortable Saturday, and it would be fun to see Carter start to get the same way.

Last year was interesting because something never quite clicked with the team, and they had some odd games, but this season is even more interesting and will probably continue to do so.

It's going to be tough to win down there. McKay had one of his best games this year at Hilton against TTU. Finished with 19 points and 14 rebounds. They are missing one of their bigs, but the one (Ross) who replaced him has been doing pretty well. Everybody for ISU has to really hit the boards.

I just hope McKay has learned not to comment on Twitter about this, or talk to reporters until the suspension is over.

This may be the game where Monte' gets his trip/dub.

There is little chance of losing to TT. The Okie St. game was ugly, but other players are going to start stepping up and in the long run this could all be positive for the team.

On the negative side is that all of this drama could have the opposite affect and start a downward spiral. I just choose to believe that won't happen.
