    Dear Houston

    I'm gonna disagree with the OP just a little. I want nothing to do with that game in KC. I would rather go home early rest up and get ready for The Tourney of which we will have a REAL shot. A Houston game just b4 the Tourney would be exhausting.

    Stop underutilizing Ward

    I'd like to see Ward get more minutes, but good arguments on fatigue, fouls, injury, etc... for reasons to limit his minutes. But since Ward came back from injury it is clear he is the best big man ISU has had since McKay, and I would say at the moment he is playing better than McKay. Secondly...

    STORY: Iowa State falls flat at the free throw line, can't complete comeback on Virginia Tech

    This is a problem that I don't quite understand. VaTech has 2 shooters. Everyone else including interior players are mediocre. Yet to the very end we doubled the post and allowed the 2 shooters open shots. Why not make an adjustment according to personnel of opposing team. Tech was not going to...

    Two Things Can Be True...Yet Seem Contradictory

    Like, I'm reading on here most every day but post once or twice a year. Or this forum has what some would call "Sunshine Pumpers" who are just happy we are out of the Prohm days and winning more than 2 games and trust TJ implicitly. And there are those who are "cliff jumpers" after every loss...

    BartTorvik update...

    I think maintaining this level of intensity is very difficult, game in game out. However, one difference in last year's team that faded down the stretch of Big12 play and seemed tired, and this year's team, is we have more horses. King who I think is playing very solid if not very good, only...

    Miami Fan Board Nuggets

    Just look at their scores. Every single game where they are in the 60's (even high 60's) they either lost or won by just a few points. Unless we just fall apart we will hold them in the 60's.

    Miami

    Yes. Also, what the "experts", commentariat, etc... don't quite get is that our defense will physically wear teams down. You better have some subs. If your team's best players (Like Davis and Davison) play 37 and 38 minutes, they are not going to be effective late in the game. All 5 of Miami's...

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

    ^^^THIS^^^ Look at all the crappy offensive games and you'll see around 18 turnovers. That's 36+ points we didn't even get a chance to score plus the other team gets more opportunities and easy buckets. We keep the turnovers down and the offense will be fine.

    Should we expect an improvement in offense?

    Yes this! Conditt instead of just hedging seems to want to trap everything. That gets the entire D out of whack. So yes more hedging for everyone and less trapping...especially in the middle of the floor.

    Should we expect an improvement in offense?

    I think 3 things can help improve our offense. Stop turnovers in bunches. Our turnovers have gone down the past 2 games from around 18 per game to 12. However, having several in a row really puts pressure to score immediately. Hunter is starting to penetrate more and that will help. Continue or...

    Coach Otz

    I think it is hand in hand. I think he has some assistants who are valuable, he trusts, and make him a better coach. Even with Prohm, I didn't just blame him, but wandered why one of his 3 or 4 assistants couldn't come up with a way to get the ball inbounds. It wasn't just him in my opinion...

    Coach Otz

    So I have been lurking these past few years as I saw little hope in the basketball program the way it was being led. Yet I didn't want to come on and just beat up Prohm everyday. And I won't here either. But I can say that even after 3 of 4 losses the joy is back! I have enjoyed this team as...

    ***Official TT postgame thread***

    That may be true, but if so, you can also place an asterisk on his first year of which wasn't his team and in which he even said he would not change things to his system.

    ***Official TT postgame thread***

    Actually Lard has only fouled out 4 games out of 20. He has 3 or less fouls in 12 of those 20. So at least part of your statement is untrue...not sure about the rest.

    COLUMN: Why the analytics still appreciate Iowa State

    Analytics versus reality.

    So what will the reaction be IF this season gets turned around?

    Playing worse defense then us would help greatly.

    ***Official WV postgame thread***

    Btw, in tying the WVU loss and next TT game together...WVU scored 54 points in first half last night. They scored 50 the entire game against TT. In last 8 conference games teams have averaged 59 total points against TT. We better play better D because we'll be lucky to get to 70.
