They both should have been guarding him at the same time the entire second half. How many rebounds might have started our transition offense.
Why? So Jacobson can stand there with his hands strait up.. why not Conditt to block a shot or two... if Jacobson’s starting next year with solo condit and lard as options then something’s terribly wrong. But I fear that’s going to be the case

Bad offense for large parts of the game, bad refs, letting OSU dictate pace. No show from THT.

Yup. Prohm is simply incapable of teaching Prohm guys how to dictate tempo against anyone other than low-level mid-major teams like Eastern Illinois. The offensive game plan is hoping they go 12-18 from 3. The worst part might be that he just doesn’t play an entertaining brand of basketball. He’s not fun, they’re not fun—it’s just not really fun to watch. There are 200 guys out there who could do better.

We won the Big 12 championship so the season ends as a success, but we were never able to find the last couple pieces of the puzzle to get the chemistry right. Sucks. When the draw came out my expectations for this game went down as I didn't think we could run with the UH anyway.

Maybe this game marks the end of the 4G offense at ISU and given what we have coming back for big's(Jake, Cam, Solo and George) I won't object.

Hat tip to Chris and Mariel, two Cyclones we will never forget!

How often have we played 2 bigs in at the same time this season? Second half of the last game of the season and you think CSP is going to run 2 bigs out there now?


No. But they should've tried it early in the year. They never did. I guess they don't feel Jacobson or Lard could guard the other team's 4's??? I don't know. It baffles me sometimes.

Sad when motion offense is dead in college ball. Looking more and more like the NBA stand around and watch crap.

You need to watch more NBA if you think that looked remotely like an NBA game.

Seriously, watch Monte play with Jokic now that ISU is done. Tonight's game, our offense, and OSU's offense more closely match a 1st grade dodgeball game than they do even a bad NBA game.

Alot of people were talking about this back in January and February when Baylor and TCU were abusing us inside. I agree with you guys that we should have played 2 bigs in certain situations, but if Prohm had no interest in doing that earlier he sure the hell wasnt going to change tonight.

That would be great too. I agree.

My point is it seemed like some dumb imaginary rule that they could never play together. It was clearly needed tonight. 3 of our gaurds were more than a match for anything they had in their backcourt.

Asking this as an objective, honest question, not because myself or anyone else is really pissed off:

Have you ever seen a coach that is worse at drawing up plays out of a time out?

No, I honestly haven't. I dont even remember the last time we scored out of a timeout. We usual pass it a couple times and take a long contested three.
