It's nothing against Nader at all.... it's called good coaching.

Some nights you have it and some nights you don't. I think Prohm said in his press conference after the game that it just seemed like Nader was in a funk or something. It wasn't a big deal at all.

Prohm sat McKay quite a bit a couple games before too when he just wasn't himself. That's good coaching. Fred seemed to take more of the approach to keep them out there and they will "come out of it" eventually. I didn't like that approach very much. If there aren't any consequences to your poor playing, then what is the incentive to get better?

Nader has had an amazing year so far up until last night. He'll be fine. Prohm felt he had to go with the guy making more plays and playing better last night. It ended up working. I'm sure Nader would rather have the win than to have played more and got the loss. He better anyway.

Western Iowa
Nader had brilliant defense on Jok right after Thomas hit two threes coming off the bench in the first half. We had all of the momentum at that point. What did Nader do after the brilliant defense that lead to Iowa having a side line out of bounds with two seconds on the shot clock? Bit on Uthoff's pump fake and drew terrible foul. That set the tone for the rest of Nader's night.

He'll be fine the rest of the year. This game was Thomas instead of Nader and a different game was Thomas instead of McKay. Circumstances called for Thomas instead of Nader and look at the outcome. Each game is different. Hopefully Nader understands that too.

Yes and no. Matt deserved to be in there, and played very well. But Nader didn't even rotate with Georges and Jameel, so it wasn't just a result of Matt's good play.

Nader played horribly and dumb. It happens but he didn't deserve to be in there unless Matt pulled a Randy P.

The two early fouls put AN in a funk. I think our three big guys are sensitive to the two first half foul situations and keeps them from playing full speed. Can't wait for Burton to help this out.
