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

[Soonerinkc]

Don't let our solid wins in the beginning of the season get lost on you.. We have a good resume of wins. Might be the best...

I was saying 4 seed is our ceiling (ie. If we damn near win out)

There's a reason we we're ranked 17 just this week...

I'd say we HAVE to win out.

6 left

5-1 MINIMUM..22-8

As I said before, Lattin is a senior but he got outplay by every damn younger post player. SAD!!!!!

Lattin is by far the worst multiple year starter at ou in my lifetime 88-18. Pathetic. He'd get worked in men's league or high school pickup

Point spread is OU -4

I have no idea why

Easiest money ever

Meh. Not called = not foul.

well that logic goes both ways so all the ref whiners should stop

ISU’s record is 12-11 (3-8 in conference). Road game or not, this would be a bad loss for OU.

Ok.

Well, one major difference is we did not have someone assigned to shove him every second, knock him down, cut his leg, etc.

It has gotten out of control. If teams want to play that way, there should be a price to pay. And the price should be several players sitting on the pine watching the game beside the coach.

because we don't play in your face D, like everyone else.

Every other team (since WV game 1) has shown how to defend Trae. MAKE him try and get around you..collapse.

I'm not going to ***** about fouls too much. Yeah he gets hacked...prob should be called a lot more but if I was an opposing coach I would tell the officials before the game TY uses his off hand every time.

 

[oudna]

we have no mid range jump shooter and our post players are so-so offensively...

I stated a few weeks back, 30% of 30 3's > 38% of 15 3's...

No teams shoot mid-range jumpers

Basketball is dunks/lay-ups and 3s.

every time he extends his arm it should be called.

Coach needs to show the team game tape of Cincinnati.

We have only covered the point spread once in our last eight games. Anyone betting against OU over the past month is collecting some serious coin.

 

[TINY]

every time he extends his arm it should be called.

And every time they touch him at all (while moving) when he’s driving it’s a foul. They call it about 10% of the time.

Lol

 

[coolm]

Lol

and why is that laughable?

I still believe the 4 man mass substitution when the game was tied at 6 set us up for defeat today. We quickly fell behind by 10 and had a uphill battle the rest of the way. Thoughts anyone?

It sure didn't help and it reinforces Lon's assessment of how much focus his team is displaying currently.

 

[Jccouger]

Every time we bring in Freeman it puts us in a monster hole we can’t climb out of. He needs to be send back to New Zealand.

What happed to Mcgusty? Did he play at all in the second half?

It would really suck if he transfers with Young leaving

I will say...it seems there is a ton of pushing off, both offensively and defensively hand checking...that isn't being called. I thought they were calling it closer.

My simple understanding is if the offensive player gains an advantage by pushing off it's an offensive foul. I've seen some games (non OU) where the guard literally pushes the defender back 2-3 feet while trying to get open on an inbounds pass...no call.

Then I've seen the defender hand checking the entire time (Wv) and nothing gets called.

Trae uses his off hand every time to get an advantage....AND he gets hand checked a ton as well...neither called. :facepalm

I tell ya...from what I see on TV..which granted is VERY LIMITED and probably not even close to the team attitude...but man..the team looks very discombobulated, chippy, trying to find fault in things. Wouldn't surprise me honestly.

Seems like the guys express dismay at every call against them. We have a couple of players that seem to do the theatrics as well.

I dunno...it's been a roller coaster ride so far.
