*** Official Kansas State vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

How many years will it take to dig out of this hole Prohm has dug?

You get the right coach, 2.

This team could have Quadruple Jackson and not be any good.

I marked this 'creative' because it's actually creative.

Usually 'creative' is sarcastic.

But this is honest, good work.

We need some b-ball IQ... but from which player?

 

[Rabbuk]

K-State is starting 3 true freshman.

Fred left the cupboard bare

 

[clonedude]

This is seriously like watching a middle school game.

 

[Darius Bieber]

You get the right coach, 2.

Yeah, perhaps even longer before recruits can trust the program again.

If I’m a high-star recruit and I see Xavier Foster benched while his team is playing like this... I would go nowhere near this team.

Hard to say this, but I am so sad about the state of the hoops program it’s affecting my ability to enjoy the fact that we’re having our best football season in at least 108 years (likely ever). Basketball was what made me a Cyclone. Trying to put out of sight, out of mind before Saturday but man, talk about polar opposites as far as the trajectories. I may not make it to 10:00 at this point with early work tomorrow - and I am someone who has watched every minute of every game for like 25 years (no leaving early to beat the traffic out of Hilton).

For the first time in my fandom, I feel like making the choice not to invest in this team because there’s just no hope...didn’t happen for me with McDermott until the very end and even then, there were still glimmers! Just feel sad for our guys and am obviously hoping for a comeback here.

Ok dude, get off the "let the man post up" crap.

 

[mplueg]

If we still had Tucker (who left after 1 year and scored 33 for the Lakers last night) and Haliburton (who left after 2 years and was a lottery pick), now THAT would be full strength.

It's funny how college basketball works. You want to recruit really good players, but not so good that you have rebuild the roster every year.

But Phrom didn’t accomplish anything with those players either!!!

 

[dahliaclone]

I can’t believe how many die hard Iowa state bball fans I know...decades long season ticket holders. All of them are just done. I honestly forgot we had a game tonight. I just don’t care anymore. I never in my life thought I would be this apathetic about this program.

 

[Tredici]

This coach absolutely loves upper classmen that stink

 

[Drew0311]

Announcer guy is like “yeah he murdered him down low but barely murdered him”

 

[clonehoodie]

This is not new.

This is ISU without an NBA player.

You think there are issues now? Wait until Texas and OU join the SEC.

 

[JCloned]

2 of the six rebounds we had in the first half came from freshman Dubar. Solo had ZERO.

 

[madguy30]

You get the right coach, 2.

Took Fred 2 and both Larry and Wayne 2 to get into the tourney.

And all had marginal records in year one but signs of what was to come.

 

[cstrunk]

Not an awful 1:18 to start the 2nd half.

 

[madguy30]

This is not new.

This is ISU without an NBA player.

You think there are issues now? Wait until Texas and OU join the SEC.

What was ISU with an NBA player?

How about 3 (18-19)?

 

[ca4cy]

I've watched plenty of AAU games better than this.

12U

 

[tman24]

Do you think Fennelly will do double duty and coach men’s team as well?

I wouldn't mind billy at this point.

 

[cyfanbr]

At this point, if you look down the road, can we afford not to fire him?

I was actually considering the same too... take the hit now and hope that it can be turned around quickly, or play a bit more conservative and pull the trigger after next season? I just don’t want to risk not having money for football at this point lol
