My daughter learned at age 6 not to cross half court into a trap. Terrible

That's the thing with this team..... they all do things that you are taught since grade school basketball that you should NEVER do. How can that be? And then Prohm puts up with it when it happens and doesn't yank you.

We're being oddly aggressive on defense, then not turning that aggression around on offense at all. Also, turnovers. My god these are some poor handles.

Roster full of betas. No passion, no toughness, no drive, no accountability. Bunch of indifferent pu$Sies “coached” by a limp-d!ck. And Pollard is a limp-d!ck enabler. Probably going to win this game but the issues are just too much to bare to keep watching this garbage.
Honest question, what should Pollard do? Fire him when we cannot afford it? He gave him a contract extension when he was making the tournament. I didn't agree with it, but it also made sense since he was still having success. This isn't just a Pollard problem, ISU doesn't have the donors to afford to fire him.

He should give him unequivocal support publicly and then fire him as soon as feasible.

ISU plays like an intramural team.

Looks like everyone applies concepts they learned or played with in high school and just try to make it work with what everyone else is doing.
Exactly. If they played hard disciplined basketball and just weren’t very good that would be one thing. We’ve gone multiple years of AAU style basketball and it is horrible even when we out talent people.

I'm a big believer that complicated doesn't always mean better but your 'go-to' being a pick up top is something we did in small town middle school ball circa 1994 without really any local youth leagues isn't a great look.

Aren't Intercollegiate athletics expected to provide entertainment? Who the he** is entertained by this crap? If I didn't know better, it appears most of the players are high and could give a rat's a$$ about their role. To add insult to injury, we have to listen to monotone Klay Edwqrds as the Color guy. Oh yeah, I'm trying to be positive, but it ain't working....

Louisiana state managed to put up 47 on them by halftime, but i dont expect us to keep up with that kind of rich basketball history and prowess.
