I'm at a loss for words after this one! If there was a year we definitely should beat them, it's this year.

Have to agree, I mean they lost to UNO for god's sake. Last three years you could make an argument about the talent and experience level, but if there was year for ISU, it was this one. Just goes to show CBB is wacky as hell.

I certainly don't believe Iowa is the better team. We looked utterly lost on offense for much of the game and Iowa still tried to hand us the game down the stretch. Team needs to learn how to play something other than iso and pick/drive offense, and soon.

Iowa is flat out garbage, giving up about 90 a game, and we can't score against them. Just an embarrassment.

Iowa will go on to have a horrible year, mark it down. ISU can be pretty good if they want to, we'll see if they want it or not? Tonight they obviously didn't want it or didn't care. Looked like both.

can't wait for people to hate on this, but at the moment ISU has an NIT resume.

Best win is against Miami, 2nd best win is Indiana St.?
Losses - vs. Gonzaga (not damaging), vs. Cincinnati (not horrible), @ Iowa (horrible)
Rest of games are against RPI 200+ teams, games the committee don't care about unless you lose.

The best teams in the conference are teams style wise ISU struggle against (Kansas, West Virginia, Baylor). As of now ISU has a bubble type resume but the lack of potential quality wins on the schedule is a little worrying (as of now, road games against those 3 are L for me).

There are some good things about this team, but just as many bad. We absolutely need to have intensity and execution- we win by outplaying other teams. Frankly, Iowa looked bigger, more talented, and better coached. Some of that is on Prohm, but we had lofty expectations for a group consisting of a couple solid players and a handful of over-achievers.

Guys like NWB, Jackson, and Young need more time. Prohm may need to bench guys once and awhile. JFC

I'll make this the postgame thread. Please confine your thoughts to this thread.

Loose term in a week with two very ugly losses. Cincy was somewhat understandable since they were talented....this site is going to break.

Very concerning how bad we are right now. That was a bad Iowa team that just took us to the woodshed.

Monte is just a game manager, and we are seeing that being exposed this year. Naz isn't the same. Matt is good but he is better as a role player. Burton is inconsistent. Holden isn't a Big 12 player, Bowie is just slightly better. D-Jack isn't as good as advertised. Babb and Young have potential and are younger bright spots on the team, but aren't ready to carry the load.

Very disappointed in our stand around offense, it's horrible.
