    COLUMN: Why Bill Self should be the Big 12 CotY

    If they did it with a bunch of scrubs that nobody expected anything out of, probably? If you hand me KU's roster I'm going to win more games than I would with Texas Tech's roster. It wouldn't necessarily mean I did a better coaching job.

    COLUMN: Why Bill Self should be the Big 12 CotY

    It's for the best coaching job, not just who's team does the best...otherwise it'd go to whoever's team won the conference every year. The best coaching job is NOT always going to be who's team has the best record.

    COLUMN: Why Bill Self should be the Big 12 CotY

    No argument there..and I'm not arguing he's not a great coach. But it shouldn't surprise anyone that this group of KU McDonald's All-Americans that won the big 12 last year are doing it again this year. Texas Tech returned nearly the exact same group that went 3-15 last year and wasn't even...

    COLUMN: Why Bill Self should be the Big 12 CotY

    And the fact that they returned nearly everyone from last year's team that won it, and also brought in a highly touted class.

    COLUMN: Why Bill Self should be the Big 12 CotY

    So is the best coaching job just whoever's team has a better record regardless of talent?

    COLUMN: Why Bill Self should be the Big 12 CotY

    You thought this Texas Tech team would be around .500 in conference and headed to the NCAA tourney?..they have outperformed every single 'expert' and pundits expectations massively. KU returned nearly everyone from a conference title team and brought in a highly touted recruiting class.

    COLUMN: Why Bill Self should be the Big 12 CotY

    How is it an 'easy decision' to give it to Self?..What Tubby has done with this Texas Tech team is more impressive than what Self has done with this Kansas team. The award is for the 2015-16 season. It's not a career achievement award. The previous 11 years shouldn't factor into this year...

    *** Kansas State vs #17 IOWA STATE Game(day) Thread ***

    One of our best played games all year. Hopefully we can carry this defensive effort into Monday night.

    FAWCAST: Hoops talk, Jared's debut and Adam hates Twin Peaks

    Are you trying to say you weren't impressed by his 4.9 rebounds per game last year, Adam?

    Is it Realistic Our Defense Can Improve?

    1. Our offense is more efficient this year under Prohm than it ever was under Hoiberg. 2. Why would the '8 or 9 similarly spec'ed lanky athletes' that could crash the glass not be able to shoot?...do you really think he's going to look for athletes that 'can't shoot very well'?...did you ever...

    "Comparing Iowa State basketball over the past three seasons"

    People definitely didn't expect to be in the bottom half of the conference tied with a Texas Tech group that returns everyone from a 3-15 team at this point... We're looking at finishing in the bottom half of the conference despite having 2 Naismith finalists, the Big 12 Newcomer of the Year...

    Is it Realistic Our Defense Can Improve?

    I don't know how anyone that has watched us can say we aren't capable of improving defensively??...especially when you consider we've been decent defensively for games at a time this year...the last 3 games just have been a total train wreck. We're capable of playing much better on defense...

    Is it Realistic Our Defense Can Improve?

    It's absolutely realistic that this team can improve defensively. We had a 4-5 game stretch in mid-late January where it looked like we were turning a corner as a team on defense (at Kansas State, Oklahoma, at TCU, 2nd half of the KU game, and at Texas A&M), and even recently WITHOUT McKay we...

    Another Player Only Meeting...

    I have it on good authority that Jackie Moon sang 'love me sexy' and told the team he was going to look after them 'like Bambi's mother', and that Ed Monnix is going to have a more hands on role now.

    ISU/WVU post game thread

    In 27 years of following Iowa State basketball I can't recall ever giving up 18+ offensive rebounds in back to back games... Lots and lots of standing around and watching when shots go up instead of finding a body, which you would expect out of a young inexperienced team, not a group of...

    This. We box out and defend like a middle school aau team.

    Or you try to keep them in front of you for once? I agree the refs sucked tonight, but that doesn't excuse how insanely terrible our defense has become.

    *** #17 IOWA STATE vs #14 West Virginia Game(day) Thread ***

    It's embarrassing how terrible we are on defense... I'm sure somehow there will still be people blaming this game on how Prohm utilizes guys on offense.

    *** #17 IOWA STATE vs #14 West Virginia Game(day) Thread ***

    West Virginia is tough. We are finesse...if we double up our performance from the first half we'll be the first team i've ever seen get blown out despite shooting nearly 60%.
