Gonna be a tough year to watch for the W's, but this team sure has alot more in the cupboard that I thought they would. I am not sure what Prohm has to do to keep them focused at the end of games, but it is maddening to watch them in the final few. Eventually they need to figure it out, or CSP needs to swap the lineup. Jackson does a great job at times, but he proves time and time again that he is not the end of game go to guy for us and disappears or just plan makes poor choices at EOG. Hope to see a W for one of these close ones soon.

So you missed how he brought ISU back into the game tonight and put the dagger in the Jhawk beak last February?
He gets out of control some times but give me him shooting the last 3 any time.
It’s just living it, playing through it, and learning from it. I think we had 4 total games at PA out there on the court at the end out of our 5. There is no substitute for experience in those situations.
You apparently missed my point about EOG*. He was good and brought us back but disappears at the end. I think he had 2 TO's and 2 terrible shots in the last few tonight. Not criticizing him in generally, just not the guy I want with the game on the line.
You can’t ******* take DJ out. Hell, we have 4 guards and One is recovering from a concussion.
Again, see last February. Game was plenty on the line.
Seemed like everyone turned it over late tonight. NWB looked just toasted for energy. It'll come along.
Only if somebody kicks out to him. Scares me with the ball in his hands (if he's not shooting).
I'd say NWB should be our EOG guy, but he looked exhausted by the last couple of minutes. By the end of the season when Wigginton tightens up his handle I think he and Babb can do 2-on-2 the way Georges and Monte used to, but until then maybe hook it to Brase down low?
DJ is fine, but he just needs to shoot. He’s so good at that, and not so good at creating shots.
It was nice to see Wigginton get shots to fall. Once he tightens his handle and learns how to distribute we’ll win these games. He’s good for a freshman, but his dribble hasn’t really improved since last spring.
We need both Lard and Young to play well.
I’m surprised Talley didn’t get more time at the four to matchup with KU. Our defense is bad so it may be worth a try. We won’t compete for anything until this staff gets the team to play well on that end.

Prohm should have called a timeout when we had the ball in order to run a play that was more likely to result in a basket than just having guys ad lib while the Phog is going crazy.
Coaching staff needs to work on their end of game plan also
A spot up 3 in rhythm? Absolutely. I just hope he never dribbles the basketball again.
Jake S, claims, Larry used to say its his job to keep the game close to the last 4 min, its the players job to win it.
I don’t know if you are serious but of course some concussions can be very long to recover from.
I just read today about Justin morneau retiring. He never really recovered from his concussion.
I have a friend who fainted, hit her head, and ended up with s concussion. 4 years later she’s not even close to the same person. She has vision problems, memory issues,and a different personality.
If only Prohm would actually listen to our advice!
This team is Wile E Coyote incarnate. Same actions expecting different result. 3/4 of the conference games have seen late game collapses or leads frittered away, 3/4 conference games lack of 3 point defense has led to some average joe big man to go off for at least 6 3 pointers. Team is headed nowhere in short order.
Well he did start Lard and Beverly didn't play. But we still lost.
