This particular Iowa State team seems like a really bad one to play WVU's style against.

ISU plays way too sloppy against this WVU press.

Yeah it's weird because they're generally good about taking care of the ball, have one of the least turnover prone guards in the country running the offense, and have several guys who can handle it and pass reasonably well

The bigger issue is that they're getting murdered on the boards though

I do not know that Michigan's offensive scheme of having Irvin or Walton stand motionless holding the ball at the top of key for 10 seconds and then launching a contested deep three is a great one

I'm not sure why this popped into my head watching this terrible game, but is Georges Niang any sort of NBA prospect? Or is he too short/too unathletic to stay a matchup problem at the next level?

Someone will take a flier on him in the second round but not really. Morris is the best NBA prospect on that team

They're only 45 in KenPom for whatever weight you want to give that

Purdue has yet to shoot a FT 6 minutes into the 2nd half at Maryland.
Also, it's comical how much Dakich hates Purdue.

Dakich is complete garbage.

Why is Maryland playing a Division II can this late in the year :confused:

I think the game got moved from earlier in the year for some reason but I don't remember what.

It's really funny that McKay got his suspension bumped up at least another game just because he couldn't shut up on Twitter. Although it was very nice of him to wait until ISU hit one of the easiest two game stretches of their schedule to suddenly become too big of a locker room cancer to ignore

Iowa's regressing...

Edit: lucky to get that win. Iowa's defense just has not been good the last few games. Our guards are getting abused off the dribble leading to wide open shots for the other team.

Gessel is excellent passing the ball it's just unfortunate he can't score. It's a liability at times on offense.

Dom Uhl is having a big sophomore slump. Looks lost out there half the time.

I'm a little worried about the last four games after Penn State. Could lose them all if they play like tonight.

Uhl has been way better this year than he was last on the whole so I don't know how it's a sophomore slump but he and the rest of the bench have definitely hit a wall in the last three or four games

Woodbury was kinda crap even when he wasn't in foul trouble in this game but he's been huge this season. He took a gigantic leap forward. He's been one of the better rebounders in the conference and has become a solid pick and roll finisher, in addition to his usual solid post defense. Some people are always going to hate on him because he doesn't block shots or dunk (and because he got overrated coming out of high school; that UNC offer really skewed expectations and has hurt his rep) but he's always been a valuable player and it's cool to see him have such a good senior year

Pretty lucky for ISU that Jameel McKay was only an unplayable team cancer again against the worst team in the conference and is reportedly okay to play again against a ranked opponent.

No you're right it's definitely totally a coincidence that Prohm decided to send a message to him exclusively in games against the three worst teams in the Big 12.

I don't actually care beyond thinking that it's kinda funny but come on, dude.
