Congratulations Clones...a perfect conference season

Worst Power 5 team in history. It's a beautiful thing.
Who knew that Prohm could turn ISU basketball into ISU football.
They did show Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Jackson St. what was up though. Gotta give them credit for that. 😂
Both those teams were without four starters from Covid.
Road losing streak that dates back to February of 2019 carries over to next season.
Hilton magic is taking the season off. Might not be back next year either. Wouldn't that be a shame.
To top it off, they finish 0-19 after the conference first round. They should save face and bus fare and just forfeit.
Name the good talent. I can't believe you continue to die on this hill.
Bolton and Young are solid. And that little pg from Memphis Harris is decent.
Bolton is good.
Harris can't shoot and has more turnovers than assists this season and in his career.
Young has limited offensive game and doesn't rebound well for a big.
Yeah. They'll "have to look at the tape" tomorrow.
Just a few little tweaks needed.
I imagine it's pretty tough to get your team fired up to play the Fightn Prohms. Those close games were likely the result of disinterested opponents.
Hard to think the transfer portal will be kind to ISU this spring/summer.
Anyone remember all the excitement from Clone fans last year when they picked up a few late transfers?
What a shitshow.
Next year they'll rebound with 5 wins or something like that, almost as many as their football team.
Nebraska might be willing to waive that as they are ready to usher him to the door because they think they can do better. If their basketball fan is anything like their football fans then they’re probably expecting Phil Jackson or Popovich.
I doubt that.
1. He's only been there 2 years
2. Husker fans don't give a sheet about basketball, they'd rather suck at that and spend the money on football
Addendum: What makes anybody thing Hoiberg is suddenly going to create a miracle...simply by going back to Ames? Please. Ames...Lincoln... not a lot of difference.
With LG graduating and Nunge's injury-proneness, there could be a spot on the Fightin' McCaffrey's roster...
He's the mayor and, next to Orr, was as responsible for Hilton magic as much as anyone.
For the sake of Iowa hoops I like him in Lincoln.
Even if there was a mutual "we'll just tear up the contract" agreement, ISMoo would have to come up with some serious $$ to pay Freddie. He has one of the biggest contracts in D1 hoops...roughly $25 over 7 years plus incentives and retention bonuses (he gets $1M extra this year, just for hanging around). Pollard would have to offer something similar. Add in Prohm's buyout and that's a $30+M commitment for ISU. Not sure their budget can handle that along with Campbell's deal.
What would be hilarious is, if Pollard went all in and did it...then Freddie couldn't recreate his previous success in Ames. That's entirely possible. BUT...as others have mentioned, word is that Fred didn't care for Pollard. I doubt he's going back to Ames.
Buy outs are only in play if they get fired not if they quit, hence the buying out the remainder of the contract
Look on the bright side clown fans. Isu was only 4 games back of finishing 9th in the Texas Ten.
Good thing CyTwins and his minions had isu as a “fringe tournament team”.

Yes, buyout was the wrong term. There are also clauses requiring Fred to pay Nebraska if he leaves early...which is a much smaller amount. If he leaves after this season he'd owe them $2M. After next season it's $1.5.
Still, ISU would have to pony up similar money to what Nebraska is paying him plus the $5M Prohm buyout, plus the $2M to Nebraska. That's a chunk of change.
