People acting as if Wigginton was the difference that lost the game... no it was Jacobson with no presence in the paint..

Lawson is legit and having Conditt's minutes would've given Lard and Jaco a bit more breathing room. Jaco also had a double double. I think we have to chalk this one up to going cold for too long in the second half and not executing in the last 2 minutes.

really could of used Solo in a game to bang down low with Lawson. He was just on fire tonight. You can't expect to win at KU when you give their star 30 pts. And by give I mean he just didn't miss.

No.....you actually meant give. We actually gave him layups.....uncontested, junior high drill layups. Ole'!

Mother ****. Just got Phogged for a short time and that was it. We’re a fairly tough team now we should be hard as a rock come March. That’s a driving force game right there for the rest of the year.

Neither team better enter a free throw contest :)

Good effort, still think ISU will be there at the end of the year with a shot at the regular season title.

Not sure Wigginton fits this type of style. Prohm recruited him to match Prohmball ala-Murray State, but this team is running more of a Hoiball offense. Seems to need to be the star and is forcing a ton. Obviously the three at the end was big and I agree, Haliburton probably should have run to the corner but how do you not look at a pass in such a big moment? I do not feel confident in either him or Lard at this point - part of that may be due to needing to get back into things but the body language is still not great from those two. Doesn't seem like easy situations for Prohm to deal with.

I love Wgginton as much as the next guy, but let’s all be honest here tonight. If he played 0 minutes tonight, we would have won. If Cam was coached better defensively, we would have won. There were four guys sitting on the bench eager and ready to contribute and not one of them got the chance. You’ve all been taking about depth all season long. Where was it tonight? Sitting on the ******* bench. I love Prohm and I love every guy on this team, and they fought till the end tonight but this was an easily winnable game if the correct calls were made.

I bet he thought TH was going to dive to the corner like he always does. Either way quit bagging on the kid.

I'm not bagging on him...been sticking up for him. He got hurried on that play and threw it to where Hali wasn't, and looked like he blamed Hali.

I'd still have him in late fwiw as he's typically capable of finding points.

Would have been great to great the W, but Kansas made the plays down the stretch. Lawson is a load, but I like our team better than theirs going forward. Keep growing and getting better. NCAA tourney is where we want to be playing our best.
