*** #17 IOWA STATE vs #14 West Virginia Game(day) Thread ***

[cyzmyguy]

I blame Prohm on how we utilize guys on defense

 

[fsanford]

He could work with, coach up, and play them? They have the ability. He needs to give them a chance. The matador defensive strategy half of the game isn't exactly working against good teams on the road. Did Paige score 40 tonight? Paige?

Carter is an SDW all over again. That kid never sniffed the floor either.

 

[ISUTex]

What exactly do you think goes on during the days they aren't on TV? I have a feeling Prohm notices it when our subs get absolutely destroyed by our starters every day in practice.

Don't know, but I'm pretty sure they don't do a lot of boxing out or shell drills.

He's good enough to contest shots and scrap for rebounds a couple of minutes a game.

 

[Cycl1]

not if you count the transfers Fred brought in each year...each year except for the last.

Is prohm not capable of signing someone?

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Anyone who watched knows the officiating wasn't great, but looking beyond that, 17 offensive rebounds, 97 points etc. The blame can't be solely on refs. Worst defensive outing of the season. If we could have been even marginal on d tonight, they win. But they were putrid

we don't need him to score 25 points. We need him to scrap for 10 minutes in 3 to 4 minute intervals.

Problem is the bench didn't get played and developed the first ten games of the year.

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

Lol at the people saying Cooke can't play because of him almost turning over the ball in the last ten seconds of a game he sat on the bench for 2 hours. Are you guys serious?

 

[State43]

This team is what it is. I just think giving Burton/Nader/Thomas more than a two minute break per half would be a good idea. Ashton and Cooke are fully capable to provide a few minutes each half. I refer people to the Texas game where I felt rotation was key to winning.

 

[CoKane]

yeah, these guys haven't played defense since Fred took over. Prohm had no time to recruit because hoiberg turned away recruits and then jumped ship when it was to late. He is failing at the Bulls. Another of his teams that doesn't play D.

That doesn't matter. It isn't November anymore. Prohm at least deserves some of the blame for how this season has gone and its ridiculous to think otherwise. it was his job to get them to play defense and he hasn't. That's a failure on his part. That doesn't excuse Hoiberg for not making them play defense but of prohm still hasn't figured out how to get through to these guys that is his fault.

One more thing: f*** Tarik Philip

sure it can.

Sadly, they are. Cooke has actually played well, when he's had a chance, lately. Should he be in there with Ashton? No. Maybe, he could be in there with Thomas and Niang? Crazy thought , I know. Monte's 40 minutes a game is totally sustainable. Nothing to worry about.

 

[CyFan03]

Exactly! His Stat line should look something like this

0 points
3 rebounds
4 fouls
8 minutes

Cheesing flipping rice... MT was top 50 player and it's only in his junior year the kid starts to emerge.

 

[Cardinal2001]

How do you turn around the defense? Its not just one thing.

 

[fsanford]

Yeah, a player like burton would have been nice.

Tell me about it,


To go along with all those sophomores that are in the 2nd year of the program..
Or all those seniors who have been with the program 4 years,

Epic classes.
