*** Official #24 IOWA STATE VS #20 Mississippi Game(Day) Thread ***

Our unselfishness in this game was best I’ve seen all year...Prohm should sit team down tomorrow and play them this game over and over...telling them this is what unselfishness looks like..

Putting THT at top of key vs that zone was brilliant...he’s so strong and such a good ball handler...he’s basically unstoppable at that spot if he makes the right decision which is taking it to the rack.

Great road win..

Decent bounceback, for a weekend.
We can probably give this Prohm character a shot. He just might be OK.

I suppose he's earned at least one more game.

What did our second half FG% end up being? It was >90% for the first 10 min or so

Box score on Cyclones.com lists it as 76.9%

 

[ComCY]

Believe we ended up at 77% in the second half. 69% overall.

 

[CloneGuy8]

If we're in single digit turnovers, we probably win by 30. Minus turnovers, a dominant performance

Hi

Thank you. Betting he doesn’t forget it again.

He didn't forget it. He lost it. Probably shortly before the trip.

I think you’re reading too much into that lol

You're right. Based on what we've seen this season, there's no plausible reason to think there might be chemistry issues between Wiggs and the freshmen guards. And in particular the one that some think Wiggs should be starting over, who has put together back-to-back great performances against top 20 teams on the road.

Look, I'm not trying to stir the pot after a very nice road win. But watch it back and tell me that wasn't an oddly cold exchange between two teammates in the closing minutes of a win. Hopefully it's nothing more than an in-game tiff.

What part of the game was this?

 

[SCarolinaCy]

Shooting nearly 70% from the floor for the game and allowing the other team to shoot for only 36% will cover up a lot of mistakes.

Crazy how many FT they shot, and made. Maybe caused OM to lose concentration on FG percentage?

 

[CycloneErik]

Great road win...and still room for lots of improvement. High ceiling for this team. Love their effort too.

Seemed to be some pleasantries shared between a few of our players and the Ole Miss crowd...is their student section a bit like the old Antlers of Mizzou?

Maybe, but I've never heard of it.
I think it's probably just years of athletic and life frustration. Not only are they from or in Mississippi, but their athletic program tends to be like ours, minus the success; When they think they might have a shot, like today, they get kicked in the teeth.

End of game, as Wiggs was shaking hands along the bench after being subbed out. He initially snubbed THT, and THT noticed.

I think you guys are reading too much into that, but there was a play late in the game where LW was open cutting to the rim calling for the ball where THT decided to take it himself. The way he was playing today I cant blame him, but it could be why Lindell was upset.

 

[I-stateTheTruth]

They were 30 better than old miss but that is what it takes to win by 14 on the road. Are we national champions again or is Prohm on the hot seat?

Hot seat -- no points on inbounds plays.

I don't know about their fans but they had a player who was a bit of a rebel . . .

If there IS something there, then they need to grow up and get over it and I’m sure they would.

I forgot about Marshall Mathers, that guy was fun to watch those couple years, probably the glory days of the Ole Miss basketball program.

Which just killed our offensive rebound stats.
