*** Official Oklahoma Vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[LLCoolCY]

I am very curious to see the personnel changes that Prohm hinted at. I fully expect Conditt to get the starters nod. I assume for SY though possibly for MJ. Interested to see if Prohm goes full into the young movement and puts Griffin in at power forward too..That would be our high upside (with low floor) starting 5.
Another aspect I;ll be watching is the minutes Tre gets and how it cuts into either Rasir's or Prentiss's time.

Go Cyclones. Always.

Just kick me in the groin right now and let's get this over with now. Then I can move on with my day.

Let's see if 9 players get at least 10 minutes. Nah. We play 6.

 

[sheepplucker]

Not that it will change many outlooks, but I'm pretty confident of a W today.
(I'm not a betting man.)

OU is no KU I’m guessing it’s at least competitive.. might even be a fun game to watch.

OSU is no KU I’m guessing it’s at least competitive.. might even be a fun game to watch.

We play OU today

 

[AlaCyclone]

I'm betting Oklahoma, that way I can't lose

And if Iowa State wins by 1, you win BOTH ways!

I'd say Prentiss. Dude is on the fast track for Jeff Beverly/Merrill Holden type treatment by mid-February where we see a sharp minutes decrease

and he’s given way to much time to all of them.. I get that to land transfers you have to sell playing time and a chance to be a star..but a point hit with all of those guys that you are like.. ok prohm you are forcing it.. wth are they doing out there.

It's true, he brings these guys in, which is great, but it's almost like he doesn't lay the ground rules or set expectations for what their role should be. He kind of just lets them go do their thing, because they're 5th year guys, and Prohm thinks he can trust them. Prentiss would be a great niche player in the Big 12, I could see him thriving in a role where he'd be asked to defend tough and stay out of the way on offense, but be ready to catch and shoot a set 3 if the opportunity presented itself, never playing more than 25 minutes per game. Problem is, Prohm is starting him and rolling him out there for 30+, and letting him run wild and shoot whatever shot he wants. Beverly was the same way til about 2/3 of the way thru the season, Prohm eventually cut his minutes, which as per the Prohm trend, happened far later in the season than it should have.

Don't know who would be betting on Iowa State to drive this line, but I like their optimism.

Iowa State wins by 8+ today.

I know for some strange reason that a few posters on here have developed a real animosity for Beverly, and in his defense that team he played on was absolutely decimated by injuries.

Thanks Rulzzz! GO STATE!! Beat the Sooners!!!

No animosity here. The guy just wasn't a P6 athlete, but was forced to start on a P6 team for the same reason you mentioned. I never held that against him, or Prohm at the time.

Fair enough.

There do seem to be a few posters that go out of their way to mock him whenever they get the chance. Making themselves look like jackasses in the process, to borrow a phrase from CW.

Hell, some of the site contributors do it as well. Won't name names.
