*** Official Iowa State Season Thread ***

Did the boys “compete” today? That’s all that we can really ask for.

"Compete the right way for 40 minutes" is what you meant lol I cant help but laugh at the clown show pressers anymore.

Ooh look, another 20 point blowout. When you start 4 guards who consistently turn the ball over 15+ times AND shoot 25 percent from 3, maybe it's time for a different strategy?

 

[Lewey24]

We went the last six minutes without scoring a single point. There’s no way to spin this game, you just can’t win if you do that...

Some teams close strong, we fold strong.

How many times is that now where the largest lead of the game comes in the final minute? No mental toughness, no sense of urgency, no difference makers.

Honestly there are a few nice pieces for the next coach but honestly there needs to be a 80-90% turnover to the next staff as the culture of losing has completely embedded itself in many of these players.

Prohm is about 20% on his evaluation of transfer portal talent. For every one guy he’s brought in that provided valuable minutes, there are 4 others that absolutely shouldn’t be playing in the Power 5. His ability to evaluate high school talent is much better.....almost too good.

Watching ISU basketball right now is like watching a couple before they go through a divorce, everyone around them knows this is not going to work out for anyone, but the couple still puts on their best face out in public and tries to pretend that they are going to make it.

Time to pull the plug, and go one without each other. Both Prohm and ISU will be better off for it.

I was only watching the box score, but at the half our A:TO was 7:7. At the end of the game it was 9:17. Ouch!

Fewer than 20 turnovers is a big achievement for this team!

A coach that holds guys accountable will not put up with Javan Johnson!

He's needs to transfer. Again.

 

[twojman]

I had OSU -11.5 for the game, in game -16 and -5.5 in the 2nd half. I hit all three of those.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

I think Jamie needs to make a public statement. Basically saying we will be moving on from Prohm once the season concludes, but will stay on till that point.

Umm... congrats....

 

[ISUTex]

I tuned in with about 2 1/2 minutes left. Johnson...."Air Ball".........Harris......"an airball"....... Heft and Walters didn't seem to even be phased by it.

What does that accomplish?

 

[Neptune78]

I have to wonder if JP has already to told CSP that he's done after the Big12 tourney. He's had to, right?

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

What does that accomplish?

Puts our minds at ease knowing we will have a new coach next year, but doesn’t make pollard look like an ******* for firing him mid season

Sort of like he did with Paul Rhoads after the KSU game? I don't think you gain much from doing that and I always think that is a slap in the face to the coach.

End of halfs are the same

What did Javan do? I missed it

 

[Lineup]

Jamie’s not concerned with your feelings. Wait a month for gods sake.
