Baylor Loss Thread

Also, I still don't like Prohm's in game management. Why no Cooke? Could have used some 3 pt shooters and maybe give Monte a breather.

Yes can we stop with the Ashton minutes

Niang barely touched the ball towards the end when we needed it....

I've gotten to a point where I almost can't wait for this season to just be over. This team is so frustrating to watch, even our wins make me want to cringe at times. Too bad, this should have been such a fun season, but it's been nothing but frustration. I guess, what do you expect, it is ISU.

At this point, the best plan is to have no expectations until the NCAAs start. I just want to get there and play the big one.

I Was there a couple weeks ago. I haven't hated conference play so much since the McDermott years.

CSP needs a ******* course on game winning plays. Obviously he spent too much time with CPR this summer learning how to **** up games you can win!!

Niang barely touched the ball towards the end when we needed it....

They had about 3 guys surrounding him at most times at the end. No one else stepped up in a significant way.

Honestly though, at that point we were getting called for a foul every defensive possession anyways.

This team obviously didn't learn from the end of the Tech game. It was almost exactly the same, with the same result. 8 seconds left in regulation, tie game, ISU ball. And we take another contested 3 point jumper.
Please... Next time take the timeout and draw up a play.

Hey Monte, ever heard of a guy named Georges Niang? GET HIM THE BALL! He only has over 2000 career points. You need to start acting like the point guard!

Why did everyone suddenly think we were going to win at Baylor. They beat us in Hilton. They are just bigger, deeper, and stronger and if they make some shots we are going to struggle. Throw in a few stupid plays and there you go.

Thx, Fred.

Baylors strength is their depth on the front line..something we don't have......ProhmBall continues to be a DUD

Prohm didn't have much depth on the front line to start with. Not his fault McKay is having head issues right now, at least I hope its not his fault.

I am so over Monte killing time and shooting a low percentage three without even considering getting the ball in Niang's hands. But what concerns me more is that Prohm has zero control over this team. Why not use one of your two timeouts in that situation? You had no advantage going with it, there were no mismatches. So call the damn time out and set a play..but nope. Just stands there looking like a twit.

I am just a fan of basketball, I imagine my basketball IQ is pretty low as much as I may scream at the television acting like I know what I'm talking about. What I am good at is reading body language. This team isn't connecting with Prohm. I don't care whats being said. There is still a disconnect between the players and him. This game was winnable, but they can't shoot their way out of every damn game.

Monte needs to drive the dang ball on last second plays.

Go make yourself a dang quesadilla!

All that matters now is NCAA tourney matchups. Unless they get an incredible run of good matchups, I just can't imagine four wins in a row to make the final four. Could happen though, you never know... But there's not much else to look forward to in the regular season, just hope for 10-8 and go from there.

 

[ClonesTwentyOne]

I'm jealous of how good of a defensive coach macaffery is. I just don't get why these guys refuse to be tough and aggressive on defense and the boards.

 

[Redman97]

It was OT and Baylor hit their shots. Could have gone either way. Let's move on.

I might be wrong.. but isn't the rule that only the players can call timeouts in live ball situations?

Our collective expectations are way too high for a team without Naz.

 

[IcSyU]

I could be wrong but I believe we gave up points every possession in OT. It's honestly impressive to give up 19 points in 5 minutes.

 

[CRcyclone6]

Still don't understand the last play in regulation. Why not drive it to the hoop. Make the ref make a call. If they dont, then it's ot anyway.
