They we’re going to win a slugfest. The game was allowed to be played extremely physical. It’s crazy that there was so much body on every play, and couldn’t get a call.

We got nothing from three guys. Shot terrible with some good looks.

This is honestly the main problem with basketball at both the professional and college level. The game has evolved into an overly physical game that it was not intended to be.

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!
....Chris?

This. Even with suspensions and injuries that may have necessitated the need for a 4 guard offense, they had ALL SEASON to incorporate an offense with two "bigs" once suspension was over and George C. proved himself as a more than serviceable player. Just don't understand why it wasn't tried at least once. At least I don't remember two bigs at anytime during the season.

Possibly both regular season games against Baylor we win with a second big. We kicked their *** in every way except grabbing rebounds and lose balls. Probably the closer of the two TCU games too, that other TCU loss was just brutal though.

I unintentionally saw a clip of OSU slapping their name onto the board for the next round. Ugh, so frustrating. But...

After having some time to cool off, they were the better team tonight. What a waste of a season. I’m not saying I want Prohm gone, but the seat is getting warm in my opinion.

Fair enough, how about the beatdowns of Baylor and Kansas last weekend? Was that poor coaching also?
You aren't listening....the players can play well and shoot well and win. Like last weekend, but that wasn't coaching, that was shooting. Coaching is getting players shots with drawn up plays, or making defensive adjustments, or trying different rotations. It should be a combination of both, don't you agree. So tonight, nobody could shoot well and we are all standing around looking at each other (you can't argue that) so that is where coaching comes in. When the shots don't fall, the coaches coach.

Not by much. I mean we played like crap, got head scratching bad calls, didn't change our game plan the entire game, didn't double team their clearly best player the entire game and still had a lead with 3:00 to play.

Who specifically is your replacement that you know will do well and stay at ISU?
This has already been established. There is no way to know at this point. If you are asking if we can all look around the country and find a coach that is more proactive than Prohm, I don't think it will be hard to do.

Better

i don’t really care who it is anyone who runs any kind of offense. Some high school girls basketball coach will be just fine.

So you want Prohm hone but don't have a plan for after.

What specific offense would you run with the current group?
