Any ISU win in basketball this year would be an upset.
They've upset their fans, does that count?
Well, given they're going to be the underdog in about every game they play this year, that's a good possibility.
they were down double digits most of the game. They lost by 6 but it was never really that close where you thought they had a chance against them. Also isu has already lost to kstate at home. Maybe they win a game or 2 against a good team. But nothing to boast about even Todd lickliter teams won a few games they shouldn’t but didn’t hide the fact that those teams were still garbage.
They've played better since the K-State game. They're clearly improving, though they had nowhere else to go but up.
This is true. They are playing pretty good defense. Turnovers have been a huge problem but they didn't have that problem last night. They got Tre Jackson back, which also helps. Foster is promising but physically nowhere near healthy, so not seeing much action.
One question is whether Prohm can keep the team together because the schedule is really front-loaded. They've already played three teams that were in the top ten when they played. The next five games include Texas again, Kansas, and two with Texas Tech, all rated.
in all seriousness how often can a fan base claim they’re “now a football school” only a few years after trying to convince us all that ISU is a basketball school?
Tre Jackson plays 33 minutes a game and is averaging 4.5 points. Is he really a difference maker?
I don't watch Moo U games unless they're the only game on (rarely) but they do seem to be playing somewhat better of late. That said, they really had only one direction to go.

Now if Matt Campbell takes a pro job along with their sorry bball team I would really enjoy lurking at CF.
We lived through this during the Lickliter years. When a team is as bad as Iowa State is, teams are generally not prepared to play them and players are just naturally as prepared to play as if they were playing Texas or Kansas. So teams come out flat. Which is what we have seen to an extent. Baylor slept walk against ISU, and Texas was coming off beating KU by 25 points when they played ISU.
If Prohm can keep ISU playing hard and improving, they will win multiple games. But getting a team to keep paying attention as the losses pile up can be difficult. Even as bad as Iowa was under Lickliter, they never went winless for a conference season.
I didn't mean to imply he was all-anything. He's a guy with some experience. Decent shooter.
You have a good point. And in this case, we came into Austin to play a team that had just put a 29-point ass-whipping on Kansas at Lawrence. They probably weren't peaking for ISU.
