We lost like 80% of our scoring from last season, and replaced it with Jackson, Grill, and two guys that aren't even on the team anymore. Need we say more?


This team just lacks talent..... big time.

It doesn’t lack talent. But you have to play to your strengths and if this team isn’t going to guard then they will lose by 20 every night to a semi-talented. It is nothing short of embarrassing that you lose by 20+ to your rival on your home court. They need to make the tournament or next year becomes a make/break type year. Missing the tournament 3 of 4 years should happen or be tolerated based upon where this program was. The ship needs to get righted in Big 12 play.

Prohm isn't this bad in every game, but this game might be a microcosm of every complaint about him the last few years.

Yep. Exactly. No flexibility, no adjustments, stubborn substitution patterns, no “discipline” for his players continuing to do stupid **** on the court.

His recruiting and game planning is solid but in-game coaching seems to be getting worse and worse.

Ummmm.... yes it does lack talent. It isn't void of talent.... Hali, Bolton, and Condit can play, but that's about it.

We won't be any better next year. Our best player and leader is gone. I think you may have a shot to be decent when Conditt is a SR with Grill, Bolton and Jackson all being experienced.
