I swear, we can not make free throws when we are losing.
Sign of mental weakness.

Why would they run any other play?

Not trying to pile on the freshman but what has Cousins done that is good this year? Hes shooting below 30% isnt rebounding and has too many TO's

IMO worst loss of the year. Playing pathetic. Worst defensive performance as well. Hope this doesn't start a huge downward spiral!

Why did we even get off the bus? Poor effort and and even worse execution.

Well he has been our best player on O tonight. Played well against KSU too. If you're going to pick on a guy for this game and KSU you should pick someone who is actually playing bad (e.g. everyone else).

By far worst loss of the year, and I can't really think of a game that's close.
At KU and KSU, we at least looked like if a few different things had been done better, we could have won.
This game, it just looks like Iowa State is a completely different class of team than us.

Trying not to hit the panic button. I know the final stretch of games is easier. But this is hard to watch. Im having deja vu to the previous two February's

People don't want to hear this, but he probably isn't going to be very good offensively. I know there is the occasional late bloomer, but absolutely nobody was in on this kid until the last minute. He is athletic. He can defend. But he has very few offensive skills.

Agreed. Our chances of winning start with our defense because our offense is rarely going to carry the team. Tonight, we are playing badly defensively and struggling offensively as well. I can't find a bright spot. Thankfully, we have some time to regroup before Kansas Saturday (not that we are likely to win that game, but we need the practice time).

Was OU picked ahead of ISU in the preseason? I thought I heard somebody say the other day that ISU was a suprise and picked low in the preseason.

LK needs to work these guys over the next few days. Get them refocused.

Not hard to do tonight with our O right now. And I wasnt picking on this game. Re read my post again.

We were 7, ISU 8.

Well, what he has done to earn his spot is play well. I just think it is weird you decided to bring it up once he started playing well.

Re: >>>>>>>>>OU-Iowa State Game Thread<<<<<<<<<<<

Ugly game on all levels. We are also missing a bunch of free throws, among other things. I hope this game lights a fire under this team for the rest of the season. They have to play much better down the stretch, even with an easier schedule forthcoming
