Oklahoma [16-7, 6-5] vs. Iowa State [12-11, 3-8] Game Thread

[ouboomer]

gonna keep saying it but Lon's assistants are not good enough....no development going on 2-3 years from some of these guys.

Oh well ... at least we made a run. Too many poor losses for this team.

 

[sheepdogs1]

win or lose we climbed our way back in this. they deserve kudos for nutting up and hanging in.

They deserve something alright.

 

[Swans]

11-0 run to end it.

Worst team in the big 12 right now

Manek can't half heartedly go and trap also btw. Its all or nothing. Can't be caught in no man's land. Bad coaching from Lon.

A lot of systemic bad coaching from Lon manifesting this season. Disappointing that were gonna waste our year with trae.

Get a 4 seed somehow and see what happens. Get Trae's trophy and move on to next year where the same players (plus some new ones) will be making the exact same mistakes.

Lon peaked with Buddy and was extremely fortunate imo

Didn’t watch as I had to swear off OU hoops for my health! Just checked the score. Looks like another pitiful performance losing to the last place team. We aren’t tournament good although they might sneak in. LK has done a pretty bad job with this group. They needed a hard ass not a babysitter.

 

[stormspencer]

Another craptactular meltdown in the final minutes. This team officially stinks right now. They are playing like the worst team in the conference. They'll probably win another game or two at home, but they are done.

Could be, but IMO the big 12 is very avg this year, not much difference between any of them

 

[JBaker]

This isn't being negative?

Of course it is... I made no illusions that it wasn’t being negative. There is nothing to be positive about with this team as it is.

 

[Jccouger]

Doesn't matter if we make the tourney or the NIT, we are losing first round. We will lose first round of the big 12 tourney too.

Assistants? What about Lon?

I dunno about "wasting our year with Trae" the team is better than last year. This was not a NC type team to begin with

:ez-roll: :ez-roll: the big 12 is loaded. Just lacking the usual blue chip KU

Yep. We’ve got guys regressing and playing with no consistency. Lots of Dow Jones players and no solid style of play. Very, very difficult to win with that.

I'm mostly tired of the TV announcers keeping on saying Wiggington is totally outplaying TY and how excited he is to be completely dominating TY. If so, let's see if they put I State on TV every game, and advertise 50 times per day the next TV game I State is playing. Let's see if Wig is making several million next year.

Don't look for it to happen.

Lon has been extremely poor the last month. When you define your team by offense and are absolutely unwilling to have any semblance of identity on the defensive side of the ball, then the conference schedule will chew you up.

Lard for Iowa State had 19 points and 17 rebounds against the "great defender" Lattin.

Prolly. We will be in the NCAAs from our awesome really season. But we do none of the little things and a heady and hungry team prolly will.. but we could go off shooting well and make the sweet 16, who knows

I may be wrong, we will see come March but I dunno if anyone in the big 12 makes the sweet 16
