The transfers except Jefferson are looking like misses right now.

Yeah, him and Chatfield seem to be getting exponentially worse the deeper we get into conference play. They are both contributing nothing out there.
1st of all...Thomasrickj needs to chill out or, if his mommy won't give him a timeout, the mods should...
2ndly...if we're going to have a bad stretch in this season, better to have it now and get our mojo back in the back half of the season.
3rdly...People who think that Milan being out isn't really that big of an issue, don't understand how teams are adjusting to defend us without him in there. My guess is when he gets back, that way teams are now defending us now will not work near as well with Mom back in the lineup.
Even if we get beat at Kansas, the ship starts to get righted. Still much to play for!

Prohm did lose to Milwaukee in 2017, who then went and got blown out by a high school team.
Nevermind. He did it twice in Ames. Milwaukee in 2017 and Florida A&M in 2019.
I thought they looked pretty bad right away in November. They definitely look better on offense but I'm starting to wonder if it's a net loss from how bad they are on D compared to BRE/Ward.
I went ice fishing for the 2nd half but after the big lead after about 5 minutes into the game imo ISU had kind of a 'there, we fixed it' vibe.
Obviously they need to figure out a whole bunch of stuff.
They really didn't look good after that anywhere.
Add in KSU figuring things out and it's a terrible deal.
The ISU coaching staff continues to be poor at breaking the opponent's momentum. Between the first and second half, it took ISU nearly 12 game minutes to get from 33 to 43 (hit 33 at 3:10 remaining in the first half and hit 43 with 11:41 remaining in the second half). Over that same time period, KSU went from 28 to 58. That's nuts. There was a whole half-time break in there to regroup. And then to top that, another scoring drought at the end of the game. On your home court nonetheless.
ISU is more talented than that from a player standpoint. This is a genuine pull-head-out-of-arse issue for the coaching staff. They need to figure it out.

I think the communication hasn't been there about all season which is what BRE excelled at and it's very underappreciated.
It's funny that your response is too one of the guys who trashed bre alllll last season.
Chat I have more leniency with because don’t think he was even intended to play this much and contribute much more than energy and toughness in small spurts. He did that so well for a couple games, injury, and bad post play resulted in him getting more minutes and being exposed.
Heise has left a lot to be desired, he seems almost afraid to shoot the ball under the basket, good defense but not great, and brings nothing to the game offensively. Much rather see Watson get those minutes than him. Outside of a game or two, when he hit some shots, he really is not adding much to the team.
He was so good at all the little things that help win games. He was rarely out of position and could guard out on the perimeter as good as a guard.
Chatfield and Jackson just don't have that ability.
Unless KSU ends up in the NIT (I think they have the guys, no idea how their start was so bad) this loss will look really bad.
Eustachy would bring in a guy like Kelderman in a spot like this. Not sure he's the answer, but I think something has to change.
