Disappointing season

Good teams struggle with injuries, great teams overcome those injuries and other players step up and pick up the slack. This was a good team, nothing more, and will be a "what if" for many of us. You just cannot give up a 20-2 run and expect to come out on top. Call a time out or two, run a set play, whatever it takes to to not let the run continue. That was Fran coaching few moments and it buried us, allowed them to get confidence and we never recovered. ISU was a better teams than what we showed the nation tonight.
Totally disappointing. No Regular Season Championship, no Big XII Tournament Championship and not even the Sweet 16 with the extra rest from losing in the quarter-finals the Big XII Tournament. Specifically, for the "I hope ISU loses in the Big XII Tournament early so they can rest for the NCAA Tournament crowd", I hope you understand why that is total bull malarkey. Not that I think ISU could have won the Big XII Tournament this year, but if they would have won it - I would consider this a good year. Just pointing out what a short-sighted, horse-**** point of view that is. I said it then, and I say it now. Try to win what is in front of you when you can!
About like a really good movie with a sad ending, season didn't end the way we wanted. Still was a good movie.
Milan … not exactly rising to the occasion once again.
A round of 32 exit is now a disappointing season for ISU basketball for some fans
The program has come a long way in a short time
Save yourself the disappointment. Don’t buy into the football hype machine for next year.
And if everyone remembers, the team actually did do well the first couple games without Milan. I am convinced the Love buzzer beater was the turning point of the season and deflated the team somewhat.
I'd still say a good season even if disappointing at the end compared to how the season started. The above and injuries were a killer.
We don't have the piggy bank to $upply a bench full of player$ who can $tep up. $o yeah when we have on or two $tar$ injured it hurt$, a lot.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
O/U on minutes of tonight's podcast that NIL is discussed: 6.5
It’s weird how many view Prohms first season as disappointing, but not this one.
Not to beat a dead horse but maybe we faded down the stretch as didn't play enough guys off the bench?
Better yet, avoid hype altogether and just let each season play out.
In the tourney u gotta have a couple of guys who are next level and can just dominate. Look how Walter Clayton stepped up today for Florida. We had a nice team but no one elite like that.
Without looking up NIL $tat$, Hou$ton also has Texa$ oil money.
I think you are on to something. We should fire TJ and start over.
We did play our best when it counted that season. Niang was one of the most special players this school has ever seen and they still beat a very good UNC team the next game. UConn caught fire in the tournament and with a healthy Niang the team had a chance to win that one. I remember seeing the Niang injury happen in a game that was already a blowout and just felt so defeated because it felt like it was our season then.
