    Will Prohm ever win a championship?

    I definitely think there is a soft bigotry of low expectations for some.

    Will Prohm ever win a championship?

    This is the problem. If we shoot well we can beat anyone. If we don't we are not gonna win many because we just don't do anything else well.

    Need to go big vs certain teams

    No One is asking to scrap what has been successful. We're just asking for game to game adjustments according to what is kicking our ass. This game was offensive rebounding. The Kansas game was 50 points given up on layups. At some point during a particular game you have to do something...

    Need to go big vs certain teams

    It is what it is. Whether it's good or bad we are not gonna change. We will win when we shoot well and we will lose when we don't. Precisely because we don't rebound well or play great defense. We had 1 starter in double figures last night, but we are not gonna play 2 bigs. We are not gonna play...

    Kansas State vs Iowa State Predictions

    Maybe based upon 1 year you can say Huggins and Kruger are on their way down but based on last 4 years they have 3 Sweet sixteens and a Final Four between them. But I do think there is movement of where they are heading. 1. Self 2. Huggins ▼ 3. Kruger ▼ 4. Dixon 5. Beard ▲ 6. Drew ▲...

    We’re not very good at inbound plays

    Lol! It's only been happening for four years. But that and plays after timeouts will be getting better real soon I am sure.

    Inbounding the Basketball

    It's not just Prohm it's his assistants. You'd think after 4 years someone on that bench could design an inbounds play where we don't have to call a timeout or have a turnover. Don't we have any good waterboys?

    PREDICTIONS: Iowa State at No. 8 Texas Tech

    I think Coach Steve Prohm will be the difference...

    Very concerning trend

    I think in the last 4 years of Fred we only lost 1 game at home per year. So I'm pretty sure we can all relax knowing we won't lose at home again this year.

    Prohm needs coaching help

    I agree with most of this except, I do worry about the last 3 minutes. For instance in the last 2 games of which we lost, we took the air out of the ball with about 3 minutes left and a small lead. We wait until about 9 seconds left to actually move and get no good shots. With the advent of the...

    Prohm needs coaching help

    This is an interesting point. In most other conferences would CSP's deficiencies be as pronounced and talked about? Probably not. But the Big 12 is such a top heavy league for good coaches that it's hard to see CSP actually "out-coaching" but just a couple of guys in our league. I guess another...

    Very concerning trend

    There you go with those pesky facts again. Now do how many times we’ve gotten an inbounds layup in 4 years compared to those guys.

    ***Official minutes speculation thread***

    I love all the press-a-holics based upon 10 games versus mostly sub-500 teams. Try that crap in the Big12 and watch the dunk-fest begin.

    *** Official Southern VS IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I'm not writing him off and yes I also believe we will need him. I just think from everything from confidence, to playing under control, to defense Halliburton is better right now. BUT, as NWB has demonstrated the past 2 years (until injury) these preseason games can make players look like...

    *** Official Southern VS IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I am sure you will be in the minority on this board, but Halliburton is better in every way then NWB.

    Iowa State - Hok Game on Fox Sports 1 - Blacked out on Sling!

    Vaderstreams has every game known to man plus all premium and pay-per-view channels for $15 a month. (month to month basis) It even had that lousy Longhorn Network a few weeks back.

    We won't get Horton-Tucker for 4 years

    I sat in the scout section at Maui. And since I'm an old schooler I was happy to talk to the likes of Danny Ainge and Vlade. THT's skill-set and body at his age is what most intrigues them. And in the end, just like some highschoolers of the past who went straight to the NBA, they would rather...

    line ups when the 4 players out come back

    I don't disagree with the lineups above. With foul trouble, differing match-ups, etc... we are likely to see various lineups during this year. The one caveat I might have is if Solomon cannot play until the last of December after not being cleared to practice for almost 2 months, it will be...

    Notes from Maui

    Maui was one of the most fan friendly basketball tournaments I've ever been to. From the hotel to the arena, teams were accessible to all fans. I have just a few comments about the trip. Iowa State players were so gracious, kind, and engaging to fans. While these gentlemen stand on their own, I...

    COLUMN: Five stats that define these Cyclones

    What's the efficiency stats on our in-bounds plays? I'd say we do a pretty good job of throwing into the corner to get trapped.
