*** Official Iowa State Season Thread ***

[ISUTex]

I don’t disagree but the fact of the matter is he’s all you got right now. He had 6 tos but he still had a heck of a stat line outside of it. ISU is a hellofa lot worse this year without him.

how much worse?

 

[clone4life82]

Well, he didn't get a 10 second call with nobody guarding him, so he's got that going for him anyway.

guess 21 pts 8 board and 6 assists isn’t anything to sneeze at.

The last 4 minutes of each half, Prohm teams really struggle.

 

[NoCreativity]

Seems like a good time to mention Prohm is now 18-50 in the Big 12 with his guys, 4-30 in Big 12 road games during that same stretch.

 

[clone4life82]

how much worse?

0-19 is worse

 

[cycloneworld]

I honestly don’t think talent is a huge issue, obviously not the greatest, but a halfway decent coach would have this team with at least 5-7 Big 12 wins. Prohm is in way over his head.

Also, continuing to try the EXACT SAME THING game after game is so frustrating. How many examples of Boulton having the ball in his hands for 28 of the 30 seconds on each possession do we need before we know IT DOESNT ******* WORK?

 

[AllInForISU]

Absolutely horrendous possessions from ISU in the last couple minutes. This happens every game. Do they work on these situations in practice?

You can work on it as much as you want in practice, but some players just choke when it comes time to execute.

 

[fsanford]

Any more teams on the schedule who have not played in 3 weeks? z

 

[Drew0311]

If we didn’t suck I would have been super pissed about the officials in the last five minutes. I would have also been super pissed at Prohm and Bolton. Both had terrible last five minutes. However, it’s whatever. We suck.

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Too many turnovers at the end. Not all Prohm’s fault.

It is Prohms fault because he didnt recruit a PG so ******* stupid.

 

[ISUChippewa]

Alternatively and equally exhilarating and frustrating.

 

[CySmurf]

I like Bolton.... With that said, Honest question, how could we be worse? We're ******* 2-18

1-19 or 0-20

 

[HFCS]

If we didn’t suck I would have been super pissed about the officials in the last five minutes. I would have also been super pissed at Prohm and Bolton. Both had terrible last five minutes. However, it’s whatever. We suck.

On the road down the stretch in college hoops when the home team starts shooting fts every possession the only recipe is hit 3s.

You're not going to keep pace with that unless you make lots of consecutive 2pt shots.

 

[ISUTex]

guess 21 pts 8 board and 6 assists isn’t anything to sneeze at.

Who cares? He makes horrible decisions and turns into a ball hog when it matters.

 

[stateofmind]

Bolton is the main reason we are in these games and main reason we lose each close game. He just doesn't have the same game at the end of each half. I mean a good coach would coach him out of that or not put him in that position.

 

[BryceC]

Also, continuing to try the EXACT SAME THING game after game is so frustrating. How many examples of Boulton having the ball in his hands for 28 of the 30 seconds on each possession do we need before we know IT DOESNT ******* WORK?

Its not his fault. What was the action we were trying to run at the end? It’s literally nothing but waiting for him to create something which is putting him in a position to fail against somebody like Mitchell.

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

Has Steve Prohm beat Baylor on the road, ever? I can’t for the life of me remember the last time we beat them in Waco.

 

[AllInForISU]

guess 21 pts 8 board and 6 assists isn’t anything to sneeze at.

Did you not watch the last 6 minutes? You know, when it mattered? 2 points, 1 rebound, 3 turnovers (not counting the jump pass he left Solomon on an island with) and was 0-2 (both misses were contested layups).

He was atrocious down the stretch.

 

[clone4life82]

1-19 or 0-20

that and our 20 pt losses become 30 pt losses and 30 pt losses become 40 pt losses.

 

[ISUTex]

0-19 is worse

Whew.....Thank God for Bolton!! 2 wins...
