In 2005, ISU lost a horrible game to Colorado, pulled it together some, lost to K-State, then reeled off 7 in a row, defeating 4 ranked teams along the way.
So I say to you, are you aware of the significant historical context behind this loss? Change is coming, and it won't be in the form of a new coach. As we speak, a very angry coach just kicked the crap out of some locker or trash can. I'm not predicting a 7 win stretch, but defensive improvement will occur.
I love you "instant success hip wanna-be court-rushing coach hangin' internet instigators" and your need for validation.
There is something called a process. You are going through one now. Your process a bit slower than the rebuilding of the program and the return of Hilton Magic, but you will eventually come to understand how things work in the real world.
