Not really but the bolded is the key concept there.

Absolutely it is. He has hit one jump shot all game. Passed up a wide open three that turned into a turnover. And hes not the type of player to create his own shot. We have a player on absolute fire, but sure lets let him dribble out the half and force up a long 2.

You guys are completely clueless, we'll see how that 3 plays out at the end of the game. Absolutely inexcusable mistake, I would bench NWB for the second half. Only a complete moron would shoot the ball with enough time left for the other team to score.

It would be one thing if he was wide open, but it was a horrible shot.
Even for the best shooters in the world, contested half court shots are very low percentage shots. It was bad luck. I would have been more mad had we not got a shot off. It wasn’t a good look Babb took, but he is far smarter than you.

We need THT back for one more year, but I can see him leaving. Wigginton, also. Losing 4 good players puts us in rebuilding mode AGAIN.

THT is not getting drafted. Dont get me wrong, hes solid, but hes not ready imo. Wigg could potentially be back as well.

Come on, anyone with a lick of intelligence knows that if we aren't up by 15, on the road, against the conference leading team means its time to start the coaching search.

Don't you know how basketball works? When we get a double digit lead we're supposed to maintain and coast to the end. Duh.

He's got a great jumper off the dribble and he gets good looks. Just too early on that one.

At half time could somebody please tell me how to get the F**&&&ng games. I have the ESPN app, I have WatchESPN app and NOTHING. WatchESPN was showing the Big 10 game even though it was supposed to be ISU-KSU. Never saw the blue WATCH button on the ESPN app.

What am I doing wrong?????

Should be able to go to the "Watch" tab in the ESPN App if the blue watch pill/button doesn't come up on the score card.

Did you email Coach Prohm about this? You should email him. Here is his email address: [email protected]

I HATE leads on the road vs. the conference leader full of seniors.

You call 7 points a lead? The only reason we have a lead is because THT was unconscious lucky on 4 of 6 from three and our defense has accidentally shut down everyone but Brown and we are out shooting, out free throwing and out rebounding them.

Let's hope for the sake of everyone's misery that this 2nd half isn't as good.
