They are human.

It's freaking annoying to get on here after a big road win with people ******** about how bad we are.
haha sorry I offended you.

And I am the least negative poster on this website. Please, go through my posting history and find my negative posts where I ***** about how bad this team is.
It's called constructive criticism, just relax.

17 wins, I dunno. If we finished 17-13 and then lost the 1st game in the conference tourney, a 17-14 record probably wouldn't do it. We don't have enough quality wins on the ol' resume. Sitting at 18-9 now, I think there is a 90% chance we are in, but one more win should make it a 100% chance.

10-8 in conference gets ISU in somewhere.

From the bracketology forum it sounds like 2 more wins may get as high as a 6 seed.

Babb got a HUGE rebound there at the end too. I'm sure he didn't want to be the one on the line at the end, and he shouldn't have been. That was on Prohm IMO.

You realize Babb was the inbounder on that play right?? Yeah it's Prohm's fault that he ended up getting the ball back. It's also Prohms fault that a 70+% FT shooter missed both.

Also, who else you putting out there? Bowie? Holden? Simeon?!

Get a grip dude and for once be happy after a W. Like why do you ALWAYS feel the need to draw out the criticism after every win?

Who should have been? I sure as hell don't want Bowie or Holden anywhere near the court in that situation, do you? Are you gonna pull somebody off the bench that hasn't played the entire game?

First post in the thread.
1) Great win. Tech is no slouch and this is another great piece to our tournament resume. This would have been 3 in a row losing in Lubbock which would have sucked.
2) Good riddance to those ESPN D squad announcers who's voices were dubbed way too loud. "That wasn't a foul on Tech". Shut up. You aren't even at the game.
3) I am fired up and can't sleep..

Agree I had to fly the double bird on Matt's reception and tackle, but hey, they were both going for the ball. Now I know why the spread went to 3.5 in Tech's direction.

You ain't coach, though. There's no such thing as "constructive" criticism of players on an anonymous message board.

I get that, but right now, I don't want to focus on logical reasoning. I want to complain about how frustrating it was to watch our defense get picked apart by the 6th, 7th, and 8th men, and then tomorrow I'll come back to reality. To be fair though, our free throws from December/early January to now have gotten SO much better. We lose this type of game a month and a half ago.


Why would you want to complain? Are you determined to be ******* miserable. Idiot.

Great W! Our guys are most definitely bought into what Coach Prohm expects outta them.

We have our shortcomings like about everyone else...but we've got a group of warriors! No excuse for an empty seat in Hilton Saturday.

We made the tournament with the TCU win. Anything after that was for seeding.

Wait people are mad after a road win? The 5th road win this year. A win at a place that hasn't been kind to ISU. If you cannot be happy with being in 2nd place in the conference at this point in the season, not much can make you happy.

The complainers probably grew up rooting for Kansas. Bad habits die hard.

Plus Morris got fouled so hard with no call he was about to turn the ball over unless he passed it back. Should have been Monte taking FTs but he was dead tired anyway, guessing he splits them the way he had been shooting in OT. Not faulting him, just he was clearly gassed late.

I noticed a lot of people saying that the team played crappy down the stretch. I wouldnt say that at all. What are they saposed to do when getting hacked on offence and can't even breath on anybody without a foul on defence? Now we need to make more free throws but overall a good solid win.

dude let it go. i ripped on prohm a lot this year and even i am about to put you on ignore. You are so tiring.

And if Tech hits that 3 a split second earlier, everyone is on here ripping Prohm a new one. Goes with the territory of getting paid millions to coach big time ball.

We were very clumsy down the stretch, and I thought Babb did some good things for us. We just as easily could have lost that game as win it the way we handled the last few minutes (which it should not have come down to), and I'm going to blame the head coach nearly every time over a student athlete, that's for sure in those situations.

Great road win. For most of the game we played great. It was a little rough late but we pulled it out and that is all that matters. I think the officiating late in the game had some impact on our play. Just glad Tech didn't drive to the hoop on the last play, we all know it would have been an and one situation.
