What would make the 2020 half of the season a success to you?

[heitclone]

8 league wins would probably satisfy me at this point, even though that'd mean no post season

 

[JM4CY]

Last point is moot. All losses are binge worthy

 

[Thompsonclone]

NCAA tournament or bust. Anything less than that and I consider it a failed season. Making the tournament should be the expectation and hope for this program.

 

[Cyched]

Win the whole ******* thing

To see the freshman and sophmores get better and show they are worthy of Big 12 play. That would at least get me excited for the future. NIT is probably our best shot right now.

Im kind of here too sadly, just something positive to build on for next season.

This season really makes me miss Georges and Monte we were spoiled for so long.

NCAA tournament should be the expectation for Iowa State basketball. Anything less than that is a failure.

We aren't sniffing the tournament so I fully expect this season to be a failure.

 

[Antihawk240]

1) Don't finish last in the league
2) Develop Conditt to be a go to player for next year
3) Develop Grill to be a very much needed 6th man role for next year

And for the love of all that is mighty and good, win at home.

Same and this is with a projected lottery pick player...

 

[NickTheGreat]

I want to be in the tourney every year. The real tourney, not those other weirdo ones.

I dunno. I seemed to have considerably more exuberance in my post game drinking activities after the last football and basketball games.

 

[madguy30]

Tourney's the expectation. Don't see that happening.

At this point looking as organized and urgent as the opponent would be good. Even after the Iowa game I didn't think ISU looked re-energized.

I think they come out and play really well Saturday. There's a trend of putting together something like an away win just when we all think they're done.

Issue being the trend of what happens when we think they've figured it out.

 

[TheHonestCycloneFan]

I believe the bar should always be NCAA tourney appearances, but with how the season is looking I would like to see the rest of year being dedicated to instilling good habits. The team hasn't played hard or exerted any effort that doesn't require hoisting up ill advised three point attempts.

Spot on. I’d add for glimpses the rest of this year for Zion to take his contribution to another level.

 

[GoCubsGo]

Play hard, every minute of every game.

 

[CycloneErik]

NCAA Tourney or bust.
In other words, a virtual basketball miracle. The run it would take right now would be one of our better thrill rides.

If Prohm gets this team to the tourney, he's here for life.

And then he might have earned it.
