*******OU-Iowa State Game Thread*******

Hey DUDE, I'm not worried either - it is a basketball game - I don't worry over crap like that.

Amazing how the PUMPERS on this board can't stand for anything slightly negative AND true to be said here - you all come out like mad dogs, lol. Well you can complain to LON since he admits what I just said too. And I will take HIS opinion over yours any old day. He obviously is worried about it since he has taken Woodard out of close games several times because of this very thing.

Psycho......

Beat a top 10 team at home, lose on the ROAD to a top 15 team, nothing bad to take away from the week. But we need to beat WVU though

And WVU just beat a decent KSU team by 10 in Morgantown today. We can't overlook that one.

 

[slappy in OP]

Tough loss. We played pretty inconsistent today and still had a chance. If Cam plays a normal game, we win that one.

KU losing still gives us hope. I'm not conceding the league yet. We need to bounce back against WVU (who is playing very well right now). Boomer Sooner!

Weird, we shoot 55 total free throws the last two games against them, and managed 0 the first 80% of the game today. That makes total sense.

I know we lost this one, but this was a good game for us. No favors from the refs and lots of adversity, but we kept fighting. We didn't close it out, but there is a lot to learn for this game. I'm actually excited for our play.

The guy that we really needed a contribution from today was Clark. He didn't give us much....but the loss isn't all on him. We just needed one more guy to step and make some plays offensively and defensively. This game tells me that we're not very far away from being a great basketball team.

WVU is coming up. They aren't world beaters, but that is a tough road game. They just beat KSU there today.

Thought we played well. Was actually surprised it was close with some of the late TOs in the 2nd half. Bench has to be more productive. Neal reverted back to his form from prior years. Wish LK would have gotten Hield and Spang more rest but with the bench being a non-factor I can understand why he didn't do much subbing in the 2nd half.

I thought Jelon played well in the first half, but in the second half he had 2 wide open corners threes that he dribbled out of into bad passes that discombobulated our offense. Both possessions ended in turnovers. I want to see him take those every time.

He has yet to get untracked from his recent injury and obviously needs to put in more time shooting the ball. He shot six 3 pointers yet deferred on a bunch of others.

He is a liability if he isn't shooting them. The defense cheated off of him and they were getting rewarded for it. I don't know is he needs to take more shots out of practices or just shoot himself out of the slump, but when our gets open shots we need our players to shoot them or make a play of some kind.

matchups actually mean something, national rating does not. we match up better against OSUx than we do ISUx.

I was actually impressed that we played it so tight. Afraid this one might have been a 10-15 point loss where we weren't in it. Instead we were neck and neck most of the game. Tighten this defense up a bit and we take this one.

I am happy. Onward!!!

Happy is the wrong word after a loss. But I get what you mean. ISU is real good and needed this one a lot more.
